I love woot.com. As of today I’ve placed 20 orders from them (18 orders from woot.com and 2 from shirt.woot.com) – don’t worry Kirsten, I didn’t order anything today. They’ve had a number of amusing items of the years – Screaming Flying Monkeys with Woot capes, Leak Frogs, Bags of Crap, etc. But today’s item that closed out their woot-off made me laugh more than any other.
The final item in today’s woot-off was Bacon Salt. Yes, “Bacon Flavored Seasoning Salt” – the tagline on the bottle is “Everything should taste like bacon.” Yes this is a real product, no I am not making this up. If you’re fast, go check woot.com, or if it’s after July 30th in Texas, check their archived blog entry. When I first saw it, I was perplexed. So I googled “jd’s bacon salt”. That led me to http://www.baconsalt.com/ where I saw that they have a blog. At this point I was starting to laugh, but what really got me going was their entry titled “I can has Bacon Salt” – that image (and the other Bacon Salt lolcats) made my stomach hurt. Lolcats strike again!
