For Bacon Lovers...Presenting the "BACO"!

Second most disgusting drink I've ever run into: Bacon Soda.
This took some doing.
Truly.
In Summer of 1989, as part of the tour of Germany I was with, we spent an afternoon in East Berlin. At lunch, being a soda freak kid, I asked for a cola, and was presented with something called "Margo Kola". This was the Eastern-block Coke-cola substitute. It has a foam head that put most beers I'd seen to shame. I sipped, and it was fine. As soon as I took the glass away from my lips, the aftertaste hit. Pure, 100% saccharine. Dis-GUSTING. Was it really that bad? I tried again. Oh, Flying Spaghetti Monster, yes. Yes it was that bad. Am I dumb enough to try again. Yep. Oooh. Quick, give me some kerosine to wash out the taste.
A friend didn't believe me. After the Fall of the Wall, he managed to get hold of some. He agreed. Most disgusting drink. Ever. Worst that fermented camel urine.
That record stood for over 20 years. I suspect that after the Fall of the Wall, and collapse of the Eastern Block, Margo was discontinued for health reasons.
Last year, one of my gaming group (who is in to the whole weird sodas thing) bough 3 "Bacon-flavored Soda" bottles. The smell alone churned my gut, and I declined to poison my tongue. Everyone else in the group was un-thrilled.
Last month, there was a "Buffalo Chicken Wing" soda. No one even wanted to try it. Based on odor and past experience, I list that as 3rd most disgusting beverage.

I hope they get rid of BACO in 3Ed...

Don't be ridiculous. I loved using BAC0 to figure out when I hit!

Oddly, while I love bacon, I'm pretty iffy on most bacon-related spin-offs. Baconaisse? Revolting.

I know! Why not just have bacon and mayo? A simple pairing, not unlike chips & salsa.

Bacon doesn't need a friend. Bacon is a strong independent slice of happiness. Putting something on bacon is like putting a bowler hat on Salvador Dali.

If the bowler was made of Mark Roth- melting, of course- Dali might approve...

Awesome. We need a fast food chain that features nothing but bacon fare! Because on one ever said "that's too much bacon".

I've actually had the East German coke-substitute stuff! EEEWWWWW!!!

Maybe that's the real reason the Wall came down!

On-topic: Yeah, that looks kinda disgusting. I like bacon well enough, but an entire taco wrapped in it? No. Just, No. But, that's just my opinion. If you like it, go for it.
