Despite being released suspiciously close to April Fool's Day, the company insists that the swine-tastic [burial casket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-biotech) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoked-dryer-sheets) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coleman-introduces), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Novelty Food-themed Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include creating unique and quirky food-themed products that cater to niche consumer interests. - **Experience-based Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in creating immersive and memorable experiences around products and services to generate buzz and engage consumers. - **Lifestyle Branding:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist for brands to tap into consumer passions and create a distinct lifestyle around their products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore the creation of novelty food-themed products to cater to specific consumer interests and preferences. - **Marketing and Advertising:** The marketing and advertising industry can leverage experience-based marketing strategies to create unique and engaging campaigns that capture consumer attention. - **Consumer Goods:** The consumer goods industry can utilize lifestyle branding to build a strong brand identity and connect with consumers on a deeper level. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Bacon Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-cake.md) - [Bacon-Scented Wrapping Papers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-bacon-wrapping-paper.md) - [Life-Size Casket Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casket-cooler.md) - [Coffee-Flavored Bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffeeflavored-bacon.md) - [Bacon-Scented Fragrant Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wright-n-100.md) - [Ready-To-Cook Bacon Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildflour-bakery.md) - [Humorous Macabre Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-office-chair.md) - [Coffin-Shaped Ice Cream Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-alchemist-by-jdo.md) - [Sour Bacon-Flavored Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-punch-bacon-bites.md)
