The greatest country in the world: Bacon milkshake now available
posted at 8:45 pm on February 3, 2012 by Allahpundit
I’d call it a palate cleanser but ain’t nothing clean about this. Let me tell you something, though. We may have more debt than any nation in the history of the world. Our president may be a failed messiah whom nobody takes seriously anymore. Our Supreme Court justices may think our Constitution is eh. And our flagship car companies may churn out flaming bags of crapola. But as our country lurches towards the grave, take comfort in this: We’re going with our bellies full of the most insanely gluttonous treats that mentally ill chefs can come up with. This is what decadence tastes like, my friends. Like … bacon syrup.
Alternate headline: “Maybe that sugar tax isn’t such a bad idea after all.”
Jack in the Box is now serving a Bacon Milkshake. Yes, it’s real, and yes, they are hoping it will cause some sort of bacon-fueled mass hysteria, so it’s “as limited as limited can be.” Denny’s produced a Maple Bacon Sundae for their Baconalia promotion, so it’s not unheard of for a chain to add bacon to dessert, although word on the street is the Jack in the Box shake uses bacon-flavored syrup and not actual porky goodness.
There are no Jack in the Boxes (Jacks in the Box?) in New York so I’m forced to rely on the HA faithful who live near one of these things to go out this weekend, take one for the team, and report back. Someone on Twitter tells me she sampled it and that it was “the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted,” replete with an aftertaste that lingered for an hour. This guy, however, pronounced it “delicious” and said the crew was noticeably excited to make it. I’ll bet. Follow the last link for sweet, savory photos of America’s decline in a cup.
The exit question I never thought I’d ask: Have we gone too far with bacon?

Yes, too far with the bacon.

This is an unnatural pairing and may well be proof of endtimes.

I’m out the door right now!! Judging by the fitness conscious clientele in this town, I’m likely to be their first.
If they are offering it.

Now we just need someone to come up with bacon-flavored eatin’ britches. The circle would be squared for sure.

Racist heretic bigot!
It will be sharias battle with bacon that will wake up the sleeping masses to Islams dangerous threat to the world. Bacon is just coming into its own as savior of the najis kuffar.
J/k………..enjoy bacon before the OIC has it dissappeared like pork rinds in Pakistan. Do you want peace with the ‘slums or do you want bacon?
BL@KBIRD on February 3, 2012 at 9:03 PM
While it probably still has too much sugar, it’s healthier than adding the extra fructose in yet more sugar in fruit or the usual high sugar in chocolate and vanilla.
At least it has saturated fat and protein which we evolved on to a much greater degree than high, year-round sustained carbohydrate/fructose loads. Bacon is a good, healthful food.
This is a step in the right direction. Although a laughably (and intentionally ironically) paltry one.
Random on February 3, 2012 at 9:03 PM
I may be the only person I know who can’t stand the smell or taste of bacon. This looks yucky.
Sekhmet on February 3, 2012 at 9:03 PM
JPeterman dude. Travel. Got a ride? Take a road-trip. Stay off the Interstate.
Axe on February 3, 2012 at 9:04 PM
I had a piece of chocolate cake sprinkled with bacon bits last week. Restaurant apparently thought it was a good idea. Sounded like a good idea, in theory, anyway.
It wasn’t. Better to stick with old reliable–a BLT sammich.

I like the cut or your .223 jib, Sir! Designer? It’s simply Smashing!

A candy shop near me in the People’s Republic of Maryland sells chocolate covered bacon. It is pretty awesome. The little woman and I gave it as presents this past Christmas, and it was a huge hit with the recipients.
Bacon: is there anything it can’t do?
H.E. Pennypacker on February 3, 2012 at 9:06 PM
Getting rid of the bread would be an even better idea, and doubling up on bacon and mayo, adding some cheese.
Random on February 3, 2012 at 9:07 PM
In that picture for the thread…is that Moochelle laying out and sunning, next to her shake?
KOOLAID2 on February 3, 2012 at 9:08 PM
I’m furiously prepping. Now I have to buy an extra cooler for these bacon milkshakes.
If the Zombies come before the Cubans invade I’ll be screwed; Cubans can be bribed with ice cream treats, zombies not so much.
Bishop on February 3, 2012 at 9:08 PM
Well, I am enjoying a large bacon shake as I write.
AP, I’d tell you to book your plane ticket to California, but it’s probably best if you not try it.

While I have been known to dunk a french fry into a chocolate milkshake instead of ketchup, don’t think I could quite get into a bacon-flavored milkshake. Just something about mixing pork and milk that strikes me as un-Kosher, and I’m not even Jewish.

Me too. I hate bacon too.

I bet this is going to fall along gender lines: most men will think it’s great, most women will want to puke at the thought.
I like milk shakes, and I like bacon, but I don’t think I’d like them together.
TigerPaw on February 3, 2012 at 9:18 PM
I’m definitely sure that’s not California legal.
BallisticBob on February 3, 2012 at 9:18 PM
nope, I am a gal, and I love Bacon. I can’t wait for a Bacon Shake…

TXUS on February 3, 2012 at 9:28 PM
For dinner tonight I had a roast full of fat and sliced potatoes fried in butter. I used the beef au jus for dipping of the meat.
For dessert, I ate a Cherry Mash candy bar which the label said had both imitation chocolate and imitation cherry flavorings in it.

BLT gets my vote over “no-bacon, non-fat, non-pipeline, skinny SCOAMF Commie”.
Remember: “Ham sammich” beats 0bama. Since BLT includes pork (bacon) it’s a Muslim-deterrent, hence it beats Zero.

Only a RINO Romney supporter like Allah would want a bacon flavored milkshake. That’s just disgusting.
Dr. Tesla on February 3, 2012 at 9:44 PM
The Denny’s bacon sundae was awesome, but this bacon cheesecake with maple syrup drizzle that my local restaurant has is magical. It goes great after the 50/50, a burger that’s 50% ground steak and 50% ground bacon served on a pretzel bun.
Spliff Menendez on February 3, 2012 at 9:46 PM
Most of the Jack in the Box stores that opened in South Carolina about 10 years ago are all out of business today. Bacon flavored milkshakes may have done them in, as well as their love for Romney.
