Every now and then, American ingenuity will create something that blurs the line between brilliance and insanity. Most of the time, it is the novelty of the product that pushes into the mainstream. Take purple ketchup, for example. Someone at Heinz really liked that idea and eventually the company spent millions on what is widely regarded as a huge flop.
Taking a cue from the wild food mixing tendencies of Americans, two young entrepreneurs from the Seattle Area have been pushing a product called Bacon Salt for some time now. The slogan, which sums up their unique outlook on cuisine, reads "Everything Should Taste Like Bacon." While this rings true for some people, there are probably an equal amount who disagree.
In the spirit of this product and requests from their constituency, they delve further into what could be called a more trashy form of fusion cuisine. Last Thursday, Ben and Chelsea and I attended the product release party of Baconnaise - mayonnaise that tastes like bacon. This party featured free blts, drinks garnished with bacon, and mayonnaise wrestling with a bacon vs. mayo main event. That last bit caused Jamie to draw the line.
What we didn't know was that it was closely related to the Seattle Semi Pro Wrestling organization. We got to see Kung Fu Banana take on Domestic Violence. It was awesome.
The whole ordeal was quite an experience. You can read Ben's write up here. On to the pictures.

Looks pretty crazy to me. Just saw a tweet about Bacon Salt from Guy Kawasaki.
