Mainstream media jumps on The Boring Things in Life's Baconaise Craze!

On Sunday January 25th, The Boring Things informed the world of what could have been the most genius invention in the history of food: "Baconaise," from J&D's, the same small Seattle company responsible for the wildly popular BaconSalt. The Boring Things' original Baconaise story

I then went on to purchase and taste test this seemingly amazing product, and it was terrible. The Boring Things' Baconaise review

Well, back in February, Jon Stewart promoted Baconaise on The Daily Show by trying some, and he was (not surprisingly) caught off-guard by the awful flavor and strength of this paste/dip/sauce.

Coming off this moment in the spotlight, today's Seattle Times has a large front-page story about the popularity of the company's products like Baconaise and BaconSalt, and about Seattle's apparent obsession with bacon and bacon products. It's mayo - it's bacon - it's Baconaise - and sales are sizzling!

TheBoringThings.com never received a single ounce of credit for any of this publicity storm. You're welcome, J&D's. We'll be expecting the royalty check any day now.

The Boring Things in Life was the wind that sent the Baconnaise wildfire spreading all over the country.

No thank you letter from Jon Stewart, no thank you letter from J&D.

Oh, no! I just realized something.

If we were ever to receive any royalties, I bet it would come in the form of free Baconaise.

I take it back: Pease, I want no ompensation from J&Ds!
