I saw this in the new Archie McPhee catalog... I used to love the idea of Fizzies as a kid, even though the actual experience was usually less than satisfying. I'm thinking this experience would be even less satisfying... somewhat akin to drinking ipecac, even if the fizzing emulates frying bacon.

I heart Archie McPhee's. I e-mailed them once to ask about having my ashes sprinkled in the aisles but they were not encouraging.

My inner 12 yr-old has spent more than I ever should have at this place.
As for your ashes, I'm guessing they'd be happy to turn them into gumballs and sell them... Dusty ol' bimler balls. :)

Confession- yes, I did order the bacon fizzies just to see if they're as nasty as they seem. I also ordered a side of cupcake fizzies to cleanse the bacoon from my palate. I also broke down and got the Thanksgiving gumballs. Mmmm. Turkey gumballs! Gobble! Gobble!

Bacon Air Freshener? Huh, who couldn't make that themselves? I love that "Slightly less disappointing than other stores"

Bacon band-aids... another do-it-yourself-at-home option.

So Snag could have a bourbon and soda, and use that for the soda?
The Snag we should name this. I do think it needs a zest of møøses, plus perhaps a sprig of otter.

Bacon band-aids
The staples seem to cause MORE wounds.

The bacon band aids should really be scratch and sniff.

I want to say "please don't choke on a turkey gumball" b/c imagine that 911 call.
but then I kind of want to drop the "don't", because imagine how awesome that would be.
offsides? I feel so wrong even typing this. It's the Rum Collins talking. I don't want you to choke!!!! ahhhhh

I will make the Snag, sans sprig of otter, etc, and will report! The report will probably consist of one large BRAP!
KATHLEEN!?!? Rum Collins obviously turns you into a violent person... I'll be sure to keep Grizzled handy when trying the turkey gumball so he can apply the Heimlich.

I used to always say: It's not fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Baste your turkey gumballs people, baste them for freedom's sake!!!

This is an essential ingredient in a Slow Pig Fizz.

Or indeed a Pig Gin.
