The J&D's Foods Bacon Coffin is a must-have for anyone who 'loves bacon to death.'
Despite being released suspiciously close to April Fool's Day, the company insists that the swine-tastic burial casket is the real deal for bacon-obsessed foodies.
Selling for $2,999.99 US, the coffin is made from 18-gaguge steel and features a paint job that mimics a package of the salty, sizzling snack. As if being buried six feet under in a pack of pork wasn't enough, the entire casket is outfitted with a bacon-scented air freshener to literally take the scent of the food to the grave.
The Seattle-based company has made a killing from its line of novelty bacon-themed products including bacon-flavored mayonnaise, lip gloss and even lubricant.
Real or not, the J&D's Foods Bacon Coffin will definitely get people talking and will leave fans of the food salivating.
