One of my many bacon-themed gifts for Christmas was a bacon air freshener. Now that I’ve used it for a few weeks i thought other bacon lovers that might be contemplating pimping their ride with a piece of scented cardboard might want a review. This thing stinks. Not strongly - if you’re imagining the smell of bacon being cooked on a sleepy Sunday morning you just go ahead and keep imagining that. Bacon Scientists have given us bacon bits, low-sodium bacon, and even pre-cooked bacon that doesn’t need refrigeration (until opened) but they have not perfected the delicate balance of smoky-greasy-yumminess that cooking bacon releases. I found that letting my car sit for a few days without the door opening helps the faint bacon smell build up but even then the scent is at best reminiscent of bacon. (Reminiscent! Recursion!) In summary - any bacon related gift makes the perfect stocking stuffer but sometimes the perfect stocking stuffer does not make the perfect car air freshener.
