A Vegan Tofuburger
Some of the seitan and soy-based versions we've sampled actually aren't all that bad, and even taste only just a teensy bit like soggy drywall. Bacon would really up the yum factor.

Movie Popcorn
Yes, we're well aware that movie popcorn is, short of drain cleaner and black tar heroin, one of the very worst substances one can possibly put in one's body. It's also one of the most delicious, so imagine how yummity it would be with wee cracklings of bacon strewn throughout.

Wanna be the hero of the office break room? Set out a plate of these salt-studded bad boys, nod knowingly amidst the choruses of "OhmygoshIcouldn'tpossibly!" and "Dudeareyounuts?" and sit back and take note of who slinks outta there with a bacon-glazed grin on their satisfied face later that afternoon.

Hot Chocolate
If we said that this was all the rage at swankity skiing chateaux in the French Alps, would you believe us? Okay, it was worth a shot. We're thinking it's a cross between pork bouillon and cocoa -- "Boucocoa," if you will. And if you won't, we'll just have your cup, too.
