Bacon Salt � DON'T SNORT IT.

Back in December, I told you about my growing obsession with Bacon Salt, the condiment friends Dave Lefkow and Justin Esch invented in 2007. (It makes things taste like bacon.)

Turns out that there are plenty of others documenting their Bacon Salt fixations on the Internet � including THOSE WHO STRUGGLE WITH ADDICTION. According to Dave and Justin's new Web site, dontsnortit.com:

About a year ago, we began to see videos like the following popping up on YouTube. In the video, a young man commits an unspeakable act with one of our products. Please be warned that this may be very difficult to watch and is not appropriate for young children or heart patients.

Needless to say, we were appalled.

Hoping this was just an isolated incident, we went back to our life�s mission to make everything taste like bacon. We happily sprinkled our Bacon Salt seasoning on eggs, potatoes, burgers, fries, pasta and an occasional water buffalo. Until we saw this.

More videos and pictures followed. And the scope of the problem began to spread.

According to the British Association for the Creation of Knowledge, two out of every five UK-based teenagers have tried snorting Bacon Salt. Four out of five of these teenagers have at some point felt pressured by their peers to try it. In other countries with severe Bacon Salt shortages, unconfirmed reports of people inhaling crushed pork rinds continue to surface.

In the face of mounting government regulation and hefty legal fees, we are launching this site to help deal with the problem in a very passive-aggressive fashion.

Don't snort Bacon Salt, kids. Put it on your damn pizza instead.

OMG. I need this. Like ASAP. Can I get it overnighted? If there's a will there's a way.
