Trend Hunter has written about bacon-inspired products before--from a bacon tuxedo, to bacon bandages and bacon-flavored dental floss.
To me it is absolutely counterintuitive and mind-boggling that someone would be inspired by a greasy pork byproduct! Having said that, I find this collection totally hilarious.
Consider the body-hugging Myriah Day bacon-inspired dress in the gallery. In my opinion, it’d take a lot of gall for someone to go out dressed like that--unless, of course, it’s Halloween.
My favorites, however, are the eye mask, the bacon love necklace, the bracelet, and the fantastically bizarre bacon wallet.
