Valentine's Day Gift Guide: Poco Dolce Bittersweet Tiles
If you show up at your lady's door with one of those big stupid chocolate hearts, you deserve to get punched right in the face. You can claim it's "ironic" all you want, but she'll know it's just laziness. These Bittersweet tiles are a welcomed change of pace from the normal candy fare, though. Each $34 package comes with a selection of flavors, including the traditional almond, as well as some wacky-but-awesome flavors like crystalized ginger, burnt caramel toffee and even Aztec Chile with cinnamon, chile and toasted pumpkin seeds. Sure, it sounds a little weird, but they're delicious. And really, is it any weirder than the blindingly pink, vaguely fruit flavored cream inside those heart chocolates? Definitely not.

Heinz Dip & Squeeze Ketchup Packets
Those old, bag-like ketchup packets were truly icons. They were good for just about everything, from throwing at the nerdy kids in school lunch to stealing by the handful from fast food restaurants in college. In fact, they only thing they weren't good at was getting ketchup onto your food and not your clothes. The age of the red stain is over, though, because Heinz has revamped their delicious goo into versatile dip and squeeze containers. Peel off the whole top and dip your fries or yank off the top and squeeze it onto a plate. They hold more ketchup and will be much more efficient. In fact, the only bad thing about them is the amount of times you'll have to hear people say, "I liked the old ones better!"

Hardee's Double Sausage, Egg 'N' Cheese Biscuit
Sometimes fast food innovation comes in the form of some fancy new sauce or a wacky new side dish meant to steal the spotlight away from the venerable french fry. But, sometimes all it takes is the addition of more meat to make an old menu item seem new again. In order to revamp their normal breakfast sandwich, Hardees did what any good man would do: They slapped more sausage onto it. The press release we received this morning (yes, we receive press releases about breakfast sandwiches) has one of the most amazing PR quotes of all time from the company's executive vice president of marketing, Brad Haley: "The only way to improve a classic was to make it twice as meaty, and therefore, twice as delicious. It won’t take two of these to fill you up in the morning." You speak the truth, Brad, and we love you for it. $2.39.

Sir Francis Bacon Peanut Brittle
We wouldn't necessarily expect this kind of wacky concoction from the expensive-scarf-wearing crowd at fancy pants grocery store chain, Dean & DeLuca. But apparently the salty draw of bacon is universal. Each box comes with 9-ounces of delicious sugarry hunks, peppered with peanuts and hickory smoked bacon. The product page claims that the flavor is "remarkably sophisticated," which we assume is a fancy way of saying, "it tastes like candy with bacon in it." $16.

Burger King Holiday Gift Cards
We don't like stereotypes around here, but if there's one that rings true, it's that guys suck at shopping for gifts. But, Burger King has a meat-laden solution for your procrastination problem. For just a buck, the kind ol' king will provide your lucky gift receiver with a witty card stuffed with an actual dollar meant to be spent on one of their 1/4 double cheeseburgers. The cards are actually kind of funny, so maybe if you leave one out for the mail man, he'll actually start delivering your copies of Maxim, rather than hording them in his secret mail cave.

Best Stuff of the Year: Bacon Products

If there is one thing we have learned in our years on this earth, it's that bacon can make just about anything much, much better. Need proof? We have all the marbled, smokey proof you need right here.

Mo's Bacon Choco Chip Pancake Mix

Starting your day off with the proper mix of carbohydrates, fats and proteins is a great way to jumpstart your metabolism. This sweet and savory mix doesn't offer anything close to that, but each $14 tube of buttermilk pancake mix is mixed with Vosges Chocolates' Mo Bacon Bars. It doesn't hit all of the food groups, just the awesome ones.

Skillet Bacon Jam

While we can't recommend pairing it up with peanut butter, this delicious concoction goes better with a burger than a beer and a televised baseball game. Each jar starts as a whole pile of high-quality bacon, which is cooked down and mixed with a unique blend of spices that will make you wonder why you ever bothered with ketchup in the first place. $17.

Tac Bac Tactical Canned Bacon

While the other conspiracy freaks are out there hording beans and water, we have been stocking up on cans of delicious pig. There's a good chance that it tastes incredibly gross and has the consistency of a Band-Aid, but there's something comforting in knowing that, even if zombies take over the surface of the earth, we can drown our sorrows in salt and fat. $16.

J&D's Bacon Pop

The same company that somehow found a way to combine bacon and mayonnaise recently dropped another salty gem on us in the form of Bacon Pop. It cooks just like a normal bag of microwave popcorn, which means you can make it even if Jiffy Pop is above your culinary pay grade. Even if you don't feel like eating it, just fire up a bag and use your microwave like a bacon-scented air freshener that will fill the whole house.

Bacon Soap

This pink and white marbled bar isn't edible, but using it in the shower will leave you with an unmistakable aura of bacon for the rest of the day. Each bar costs $6, which is more than we've spent on bars of soap in our entire lives (we prefer scented body washes, thank you), but until someone comes up with a better way to make our entire bodies smell like bacon, we're going to stick with it.

Skillet Bacon Jam
Thanks to Baconaise, we've been able to consider bacon a condiment for some time now, but this tin of Bacon Jam steps it up in the classiness department. Skillet takes a bunch of "really, really good bacon" and renders it down with a selection of spices. That substance is then immediately frozen and sent out to the bacon-craving world to be spread onto burgers, sandwiches or pretty much anything else you can think of. Each jar costs $17 with shipping, which seems like a reasonable price for the ability to tell fruit it can suck it.

Mo's Bacon Choco Chip Pancake Mix
Honestly, this whole "let's throw bacon in everything we can think of," movement is getting a little silly. It's also getting kind of awesome. This $14 tube is filled with buttermilk pancake mix. But instead of regular chocolate chips, they sprinkled in pieces of Vosges Chocolates' Mo Bacon Bars, with real pieces of bacon. They cook up just like regular instant pancakes, which means you'll have a hard time screwing them up, even if you have barely mastered the art of cramming Pop Tarts in the toaster.

Clif Bar Seasonal Prize Package
Every year, Clif bar comes out with a few seasonal flavors of their little nutrition bombs. This year's line-up includes Spiced Pumpkin, Cranberry Orange Nut Bread and the dessert-worthy Iced Gingerbread. Each bar is made with organic oats and soybeans, which means it's good for the planey and delivers both fiber and protein to your potato chip-ruined digestive system. You'll get a box of each flavor if you win, which means you can ditch all those Powersauce bars you were planning to take up the Murderhorn.

Jailhouse Fire Hot Sauce
If you want to make your food spicier and help out some entrepeneurial inmates at the same time, you better get ready to click the order button. There are three flavors of sauce to (allegedly) assault your tongue, including Original, Smoke and the ultra-brutal No Escape. Each sauce was actually created by inmates at the Hillsborough County Jail and the profits go to buy equipment and supplies for inmate programs. So, you should probably buy it, unless you want to tell a bunch of convicts you prefer Frank's Red Hot. And don't worry, they didn't make it in the toilet out of match heads and mouthwash like real prison hot sauce.

Subway Low-Fat Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
We love when food joints get new menu items, and tomorrow Subway is pulling back the curtain to show off their Low-Fat Buffalo Chicken sub. The chicken itself is glazed with a spicy sauce and the whole sub gets splashed with their new low-fat dressing. It's part of their five dollar foot-long line-up and it certainly won't make us feel as crappy as the $12 Dollar Menu banquets we usually go on at  about about 1:30 PM every day. Just make sure you man up and get the jalepenos on it. Also, be sure to get some gum before you head back to work.
