The Bacon Trend

So what's up with bacon lately? Bacon ice cream. Bacon banana bread. Bacon shirts. Bacon upholstered barcoloungers. Marketing departments have it easy because really, all they need to do is slap some bacon anywhere on, in, or near their product and bam! Instant sales.

Which got me to thinking, how could a writer hop on their bacon surfboard and ride this trend to success?

Bacon Bookmarks
Who wouldn't want a strip of this tasty piece of pork, sans greasiness, stuck in their book? That's the beauty of graphics, nowadays, people.

Bacon Book Covers
Just the scent, not the meat. Salmonella's not worth it. Trust me on this one.

Baconistic Plot
You know how movies strategically place products, like a can of Coke on a table in the background, or the hero wearing some Nikes? Why not incorporate bacon into the story?

Bacon Giveaways
Add in a surprise gift certificate for bacon inside a giveaway book. No, really. They seriously have these things at Bacon Freak.

Bacon Bribery
Scary as they may seem, editors are only human. . . and usually carnivorous. Oh, what's that? How did that bacon get into my proposal? Huh. Weird.
