Everybody loves bacon.  Even vegetarians .

Life is hard.  Sometimes you need a guide.  Someone to look up to.  A mentor, if you will.  Bacon can be that someone.  When you find yourself searching for an answer, whip out your handy What Would Bacon Do? spinner, and find out whether you should “taste really good,” or “sizzle.”  (Bonus: it opens up into a folder!) $4.98
