It’s a fact that when bacon is involved in any of my KOTD posts the number of comments skyrocket. Makes sense to me as not only is it one of my (and others’ obviously) favorite foodstuff EVER but bacon’s long, straight design with undulating, bubbling edges allows it to translate well as a design element onto almost any object of decent size imaginable. Maybe it’s the element of danger or lving vicariously as, really, under what other circumstances would you want a greasy piece of bacon in your pocket?…

Made in China in 2006 for Accoutrements, the bacon wallet is still fresh and available at Archie McPhee.

    I bought one of these bacon wallets pre-2006 in a West Greenwich Village shop.
