Here’s the thing. If you’re going bacon, you have to go all the way. Bacon-like has never been enough — and it never will be. This is why Bacon Bits will always outsell Fakin’ Bacon, and this is why it will always be better to fashion a pair of bacon goggles than wear a bacon-themed pair of Oakleys.

The idea of baconish accessories has my approval, but why would you want the bacon look without the accompanying bacon smell, or authentic bacon crackle? When they come out with a pair of Oakleys that have an aroma unit and built-in speakers, you let me know.

I can wait.
