My First Bacon

I don’t know what ThinkGeek was thinking when they did this one. No, not that they made it. That they’re not selling it. I realize it was done as an April Fool’s prank, but I want one. And I’m sure there’s more of you out there like me.

If you want a plush animatronic bacon, let them know. If you want the bacon puppet that they show in the video, let them know. They won’t make only one of them just because I want it. But if all of you want it too, then they’ll make it, and I can get one.

So let’s hear it in the comments. If you could buy a “My First Bacon” — puppet mouth as shown or animatronic like they describe — would you buy one?

Maybe with enough comments they’ll actually make it.

Would you buy a "My First Bacon"?

    The only thing more amazing than a narwhal, is bacon.

    The only thing more amazing than that, is bacon that you can MAKE TALK! Imagine the cooking show you could put on with that, Drew!

    The only thing more amazing than a side-kick muppetty bacon, is BACON THAT MOVES ON IT’S OWN!

    What’s next, sentient, sapient bacon?!?

    Oh… I guess that’s kind of a pig… but…

    They did the same thing to me one year with bacon jam! And I was severely dissapointed too until I found some for real on the internet.

    that would be awesome to have,i read that they’re actually going to release this in a while because they always actually make one of the april fool’s products available to buy like the star wars sleeping bag and personal sound track t shirt.I think it would be awesome if they sold it as a puppet or electronic and make the electronic one a little more expensive that a puppet version.
