I'm a firm Baconologist and live by the rule that bacon plus anything equals DEEELISHIZ. So I tore the package open when I received it and was totally prepared to love mah bacon candy.
Pork candy sounds so sexual.
The green one is absinthe (licorice).
Bits of bacon suspended in lollipop.
After trying to sniff them through the plastic, I decided I needed to just rip the package open and take the plunge into meaty candyland. The first lick was nice, the second lick left a bad aftertaste and the third lick completely turned my stomach. I wish I could appropriately describe the taste but it really is nothing like one would imagine. It's sort of like a puke lollipop. Yeah, a maple flavored puke lollipop!
So, do any of you want the other unopened and unlicked maple puke bacon lollipop? If you do, let me know in the comments before 11:59pm on Thursday and I will post the randomized winner sometime on Friday. I will ask the winner to email me with their address so PLEASE CHECK BACK or risk losing out on this fab-u-lous pork prize!

Kind of looks like a head cheese lollipop I picked up in Munich. You know, come to think of it, it tasted like vomit also. No thanks, I'll pass. I'll stick with my Ben and Jerry's Spam-alicious ice cream.
No offense but this is a TERRIBLE giveaway!
(just to clarify, you know I love you, but bacon lolipop? That's inappropriate and offensive to my very core.)
I totally want to try the bacon lollipop! Enter me in your devil's contest.
This makes me cry salty, salty tears.
I... um... I'll pass.
OMG!
I have a friend who abso-fucking-loutley lovesss bacon and this lolipop would make such an awesome college graduation gift!
I hope I win!!
While I thank you for your offer - I will respectfully decline.
Cuz... ew.
Bacon is meant to be bacon. Not a lollipop.
um um um.
i mean i love bacon but i don't know....
i've had bacon ice cream. that was good in a breakfast maple syrup sort of way
why not, sign me up
I saw your "twitter" about this and curiosity was killing me...but being a curious sort, I really want to try this for myself...so yeah, what the heck, enter me in the giveaway! ;-) If I win, I promise a post myself about my reaction to the bacon lollipop! ;0)
I also believe that bacon is almost perfection, but this lollipop breaks the golden rule...mixing food items with candy. No. Bad. Yuck. I can barely deal with fruit that rudely intermingles with delicious chocolate, let alone meat in candy.
You are a brave soul, ex.
Now I'm off to slumber and conjure up an excuse to have bacon on a Thursday morning...
Oooh! Pick me! I'm ever so eager!!
I'm absent for a while and I come back to bacon lollipops? I have to know when you turned the corner... ;)
This makes me want to puke. It just sounds super gross!
I don't know that I would be all that interested, but really, how bad could it be?
After the delicious way you've described them, it's almost impossible to turn down your stellar offer, but I'm going to turn it down anyway.
Besides, I'm Canadian, so I have ample resources like real maple syrup and Canadian bacon at my fingertips to creat my own tasty bacon lollies.
holy crap... I don't even know what to say to this.
But you are very brave for trying it!
Um no thanks. Because that is disgusting.
Well no matter how amazing that does sound, this vegetarian is going to pass.
Ew. I don't get bacon candy.
hahahahahahahaaaaa! This was an excellent, excellent review of the bacon lollies!!! I heart you.
Who's the genius that walked into his boss's office to pitch the idea of Bacon candy?
I need to work at that company, I got tons of crazy ideas of my own.
I'm going to leave a comment to say "please don't count me in." Also, I would have expected Lara to have better taste that that. But still kind of funny.
Hahahaha these nasty lollipops are going to get passed around the entire internet. And no I don't want them. Gross.
Ugh. I got mine in the mail and opened them an hour into my bout with food poisoning. I threw them away from me in disgust at the very idea that I ever wanted to actually taste them and haven't looked at them since.
This is not encouraging me.
I actually think the idea of a maple lollipop grosses me out more than the bacon part.
Thanks for the offer, but no thanks :)
Um. Ew.
I used to be the same way, thinking bacon+anything=magic, but then I tried bacon chocolate (chocolate with bits of bacon in it) even though I'm a vegetarian, but I just had to...and I think it must be what dog food tastes like. Not good at all.
I love me some bacony goodness, but I just can't get behind this.
Though I'm sure as hell going to find that bacon chocolate Vosges bar one of these days. Will report back upon sampling.
I think this is taking bacon one step too far.
Bleck.
Ugh. My girlfriend gave my husband some bacon mints she'd ordered for her husnand and simply opening the tin made me ill. They definitely smelled like bacon and my husband confirmed that they tasted minty, too.
Now that you and Lara have both ixnayed the bacon lollipops? I have no interest in trying them. I trust you gals.
I'm not surprised this didn't end well.
Oh man that sounds disgusting, ew.
Pick me! Pick me! I always do my best to have my recommended 18 servings of bacon a day, and having it in candy form would just make it even better!
Gross, man.
ooooh I WANT!
Um, no thank you very much...I do NOT want your bacon candy reject.
But this concept of giving away crappy stuff as a prize? Pure genius.
gmmm idk about bacon and sweets lol! you are brave!
I still think it is so funny that Lara not only thought she'd like them, but bought like 12!
I love Bacon. But just bacon. No bacon flavored yuckiness.
I suppose that's one possible interpretation of "winning."
I will admit I am not crying over missing out on the contest, but, uh, congrats to you. I think.
