I am slightly disappointed (okay, extremely disappointed) to say that Baconaise was in fact NOT the manna which sustained the Israelites in the Old Testament. It tasted and smelled at its best like the grease and bits and pieces you drain from a pan after cooking real bacon. The saltiness of the spread/dip was overpowering. It tasted equally bad on crackers and my turkey sandwich, and on the sandwich, the bread seemed to literally absorb the Baconaise, leaving a bad after taste and a dry, salty sandwich.In the end, do I have any regrets? ZERO. This was a winner of an idea and it's a shame to see the makers fail on such an epic scale. One can only hope that Kroger and other generic brands steal this idea, use more artifial flavors and chemicals, and make a product worthy of the name "Baconaise."

I'm glad you brought up artificial flavors, because this, in my opinion, was likely the cause of Baconnaise's great failure. "No Artificial Flavors", while it may look good on the bottle, is entirely inappropriate for a bacon-flavored spread. For one, it entirely misses their target audience. The careful shopper looking for products with "No Artificial Flavors" is not the shopper looking to buy a bacon-flavored spread. For two, bacon is greasy. "No Artificial Flavors" will therefore mean a greasy spread.
Altogether, definitely a worthy experiment, one that hopefully (as you said) some generic company will attempt to replicate with artificial flavors and preservatives.
