Bacon Flavored Bubbles? We're pretty much sold before you even finish the sentence. ThinkGeek, our favorite purveyors of strange bacon-flavored and/or caffeinated merchandise, brought this new gun to our attention. The same site that brought us dog beer and caffeinated soap now lets you shoot bacon flavored bubbles across the room! We've always loved bubble guns, but this takes it to a whole new level.

The gun, which does not require batteries, performs its porcine function on demand - as the description says, "pull trigger, receive bacon!" Thank god that doesn't work in real life, or we would weigh 600 pounds. The toy is mostly geared at dog owners, but the bubbles are safe for kids too - they are non-toxic. Does your 3-year old have a carnivorous palate? This may be the ideal xmas gift.
