    You smell like a pig...

    ...But only the good parts of a pig, like bacon...
    A new bacon-scented fragrance from Tyson-owned Wright Brand might just be right for you. The scent, named Wright N°100, was released on Thursday to celebrate the brand's 100th year anniversary, according to a press release from Wright.

    I hope it smells just like bacon---cause at the current price of the real stuff this could be a grand success story----even at 20 bucks a bottle

    Currently here, $5.99 on sale, $6.99 regular and that is bacon for the common folk. Grommet dining for a gourmand like our friend Ben at my local grocery can top $15.00

    I bought the 4 lb pack of Wright Hickory Smoked at Sam's on Wednesday. It's going for $6.12 per pound. I think it is good bacon when compared to other retail packs.

    I make traditional wedge salad often and I have stopped using real bacon bits and given in to "Imitation Bacon Bits". At the end of the day, the texture matches real bacon and the flavor is a reasonable attempt

    When I go to my butcher I can usually get bacon ends for about $6, and that is not bottom of the pile bacon.

    I used to get full slabs at the Country Store and then re-smoke them at home

    I tried the Great Value and could not deal with the unchewable chunks and gristle in it, the dog didn't have that problem. I've been buying the pre-cooked Hormel Black Label Fully Cooked Bacon. I don't use much but its great to chop up in pancakes or an occasional BLT.
