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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-punch-bacon-bites), without risking all the microbes associated with rubbing your naked body with raw [pork products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streaky-beef-bacon)."

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.
