According to the website, it is kosher. And vegetarian. Although that's a little like calling animated porn "feminist" since they didn't exploit any real, specific woman.
Whoa, got a little heavy there. I support baconsalt. It will revolutionize popcorn.

It does sound slightly better than betel nut / tobbacco flavored condoms.

phaedon, that's a direct quote from George Orwell's Animal Farm. The original commandment is that all animals are equal, and the pigs alter it to justify their dominance over the other animals.

I just don't understand the lure of bacon. Even before I gave up eating red meat over 15 years ago bacon had never appealed to me. I would always pick it out of things, even then.
Which leads me to believe that this tastes totally revolting and you are all welcome to my share.

Well I don't eat bacon for the taste. It's not exactly chocolate. I enjoy eating bacon because I love chomping down on fatty, salty, meaty, oily, crunchy (but not too crunchy) goodness. I also find the image of strips of glistening meat to be somewhat erotic (but not too erotic). There's also a bit of association going on as bacon always summons sweet memories of waking up and watching Saturday morning cartoons and enjoying the smell and crackle as pop that drifted up from the kitchen where my dear mum was busily frying and dicing the blessed meat. Instead of bacon salt to make everything taste like bacon I'd much rather these two entrepreneurs dedicate themselves to making bacon itself more portable and with a better form factor. Perhaps bacon in a can? Or bacon-to-go microwave lunches? Or maybe a service to send over beautiful red-headed women with endless legs to cook package upon package of tasty bacon for you? (Scratch that last one, that's just my fantasy and probably isn't viable... I've said too much.)

Bacon is the chocolate of the meat world. It's so delicious. You're weird. I know die-hard vegans that will occasionally eat bacon, just because it is bacon, and it is good.

More than one Muslim of my acquaintance has told me that the one thing that most tempts them to defy Allah's will on the subject of pork is the inimitably seductive smell of cooking bacon.
So, you know, it's not us, it's you.
That said, imitation bacon bits are pretty vile, so I'll probably stick with the real deal. And anything other than real melted butter and salt on popcorn is an abomination that makes baby Jesus cry so hard the movie screen goes all blurry.

I don't know about bacon salt, really, but just think about this for a minute:
You cook up some of that thick slab bacon, slooooowly. Then you take some fresh sliced sourdough bread and toast it lightly. Then you cut up one New Jersey beefsteak tomato (wait till you get a good one!), you need four thick slices because you are going to end up eating two of these, then one (ONE) piece of red leaf lettuce or Romaine (you need about 1/3 stem/thick end to leaf ratio), not too wet from when you rinse it under the tap. Mayo, fresh ground black pepper.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!
Here is the amazing thing about this amazing sandwich, really, really, anyone can make it and it's fucking delicious, it's the most democratic thing in the world a BLT, with a BLT every man is a king, every woman is president-for-life, every dog is a pony.
Drink ice water while you are eating your BLT's and then quickly go wash your hands and face and lie down on a freshly made bed in an airconditioned room, read sci-fi paperbacks from the seventies, take a little nap.
That's about as good as being a human being gets, I'm pretty sure.

I am not a vegetarian, though since I am married to one and hate to cook, from a dietary standpoint, I might as well be one. This really doesn't bother me. I like meat, and when I get up the motivation, I occasionally make it for myself. But I rarely notice when it's not around.
Except when I smell bacon.
I don't even like bacon that much. But my god, that smell...
Just thinking about it makes me hungry. If this is, in fact, vegetarian safe, I'll probably get it, just to have around.

So I was reading about how China just put out this stamp that tastes like sweet and sour sauce when you lick it. Isn't that awesome? [wait for response, gauge interest] So I was thinking, what if America put out a flavored stamp? What would it be? Well I was thinking about it and I came up with the best idea: [pause for dramatic effect, wait for it...]BACON! [huge grin] What do you think? A bacon flavored stamp! You like bacon don't you? Would you buy a bacon flavored stamp?
Watching him do it is pure magic, the girl is usually so amused by his delivery that the conversation goes on for a while. One time he asked Would you buy a bacon flavored stamp?
to some chick in Starbucks and she replied back straight faced "Well it depends on whether or not it would cost more than a regular stamp."
I was hurting so bad from trying not to laugh at the whole situation that I had to get up and walk outside to laugh uncontrollably.

"And don't even get me started on my loathing of popcorn which undoubtably some of you freaks will think to douse with bacon salt..."
Damn skippy. As soon as my sampler pack arrives, I will make THREE DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF BACON POPCORN.
Maybe four, if I can find that cheese powder...

No. No it shouldn't. I like bacon as much as the next red-blooded carnivore, but I like variety.

I just wanted to say, in public, that I sent this link to my girlfriend, who turned around and bought us some Bacon Salt. That is to say: my girlfriend is awesome.

More than one Muslim of my acquaintance has told me that the one thing that most tempts them to defy Allah's will on the subject of pork is the inimitably seductive smell of cooking bacon.
Do we need further proof that there is no God? (Or else that if he does exist, he's a sadistic asshole?)

Now my hand-woven baconsheets are obsolete, and just when I when I mastered rolling a 20-foot long baconsheet for easy wrapping.

I'm looking forward to some bacon-flavored desserts. They'll probably mostly be intolerably disgusting, but if someone hits on a good one, oh man.

I actually suffer from a rare medical condition that actually does make everything taste like bacon.
Trust me, it's not nearly as great as it sounds.
OK, I'm lying. It's totally awesome.

I feel another Splenda thread coming on. The makers of real bacon are not going to like this one bit. Although I'm sure a few pigs are breathing a little easier tonight.

I had a dream that this day would come where everything could taste like bacon and a glimpse of heaven would be before us.
And then you could wake from that dream thanks to your WAKE n' BACON Alarm Clock!!!

So someone ran baco-bits through a grinder and called it bacon salt? How is this important exactly?

I'm curious, but I think I'll wait for Amazon to carry it (they say it's coming soon) so that I don't have to spend more on shipping than the actual product.

Why rub generic salt in your enemies wounds when you can rub bacon salt instead.

And for extra cruelty, when you have laid waste to their villages, and you salt the ground, make sure you use Bacon Salt.
Plants won't grow and they are cursed with the wonderful fragrance of bacon which they can't eat.
It's old school vengeance with a modern twist!

Homer: So you think you know better than this family, eh? Well as long as you're in my house you'll do what I do and believe what I believe! So butter your bacon!
Bart: Yes father.
Lisa: Mom, dad, my spiritual quest is over!
Homer: Hold that thought... Bacon up that sausage, boy!

If it actually tastes like bacon and not baco-bits I'd be all over it, except... when I want bacon, I just cook some damn bacon.

All right, ya'll, a friend just brought me two bottles of this wondrous thing, Original and Peppered. I have not tried the Peppered version yet, but I doused my salad with the Original.
Conclusion: tastes like bacon! No, really. And salt. Basically, it's like finely ground Bacos, which are awesome.
I'm putting this shit on everything from now on.

I just got my order confirmation and tracking number this morning, tristeza. I am so jealous.
I've been on a camping trip since Friday night, and Bacon Salt would make everything cooked over a campfire taste better.

Bacon popcorn is awesome, by the way.
Not in large quantities, though. I made a small bowl and it was perfect. A large bowl may have been too much.
