In Videos: Squeez Bacon from ThinkGeek
Straight from Sweden, ThinkGeek brings us Squeez Bacon, a processed, preservative-free bacon product that allows you to easily add the flavor of cooked bacon to anything—ground cow, melon, seameat, you name it! Hell, it's so good you'll want to squeeze it straight into your mouth. If you need more convincing, watch this commercial after the jump.
Squeez Bacon from ThinkGeek
Unfortunately, Squeez Bacon® does not exist. The voice over in the commercial is actually reciting the lyrics to "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. But there is at least one squeeze-able bacon-flavored product out there:
Kavli's Baconost, bacon-flavored cheese in a tube, found in Norway, Sweden, and possibly other tubed-meat-cheese-loving countries.

I bet this an april fool's joke, along the same lines as the 3.5" expansion bay e-z bake oven.

I'm guessing this is their April fools joke?

I really really hope.

I didn't think I had to actually say, "This is an April Fool's joke," since I mentioned that it's not real, but..yes, APRIL FOOLZ!!!

Thinkgeek always has great April Fools day products, all archived for your convenience.
The great thing is they work year round, so when I'm feeling punky, I can send my dad the link for the Wireless extension cords and see if he falls for it.

If anyone's into food-related April Fools Jokes, Youtube is upside down, and its first spotlighted video is for Tarte Tatin.

What is the tube next to the bacon cheese? Skink cheese? Eew?

@Hasawtelle: Skinka is Swedish for ham...I never did understand why Kavli sees fit to make both ham and bacon flavored cheese spread, but they do. On a fun note, to me as an American, the pronunciation of skinka sounds like "oink!" Ok...so it's more like "hoinka" but still...
