Cravin' some Bacon?

"Is there anything bacon can't improve?"
(another good quote!)

Ok - I'm a hard-core vegetarian, but I would still totally try this! Archie McPhee, a crazy store straight outta' our music and culture-laden Seattle, has completely turned the world of dental hygiene on it's end. The flossing district, to be exact.

Announcing: Bacon Floss! (sounds scrumptious, doesn't it? Ha! - this coming sarcastically from a veggie...) But really, the Archie McPhee store wants you to "improve your dental hygiene while enjoying the amazing flavor of crispy fried bacon."

Better not miss out on this deal! For only $4.95 (and a free gift with every order!) you'll be flossin' away with over 27 yards of bacon-ocity. And never fear, if you like the pork-flavored floss you're still just one click away from ordering a tin of Uncle Oinker's Bacon Mints...

Like I said, Archie McPhee is a pretty unique store. What's the craziest store you've been to? Craziest flavored item? What would YOUR signature floss flavor be?
