ThinkGeek Bacon Soap is the perfect toiletry for that pork-loving person in your life.
According to ThinkGeek, "Just think: if you had some Bacon Soap you could have that scent of bacon, without risking all the microbes associated with rubbing your naked body with raw pork products."
With that valid point, you simply cannot resist the tempting smell of the meat cleaner. Complete with a tin to preserve smell and freshness, ThinkGeek Bacon Soap is the right scent to wake you up in the morning while satisfying your need for food.
