The crew at Epic Meal Time have recruited none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger for their latest effort - a protein infused tank cake.

I don't know what's weirder: Oscar Mayer's iPhone alarm clock app, which will actually emit the smell of bacon through an add-on piece of hardware, or the incredibly bizarre Oscar Mayer Institute for the Advancement of Bacon website they put together for it. I sure know the future when I see it, though, and the future is bacon.

Yesterday the Geekosystem team took a field trip to Economy Candy here in New York City. It specializes in odd and vintage candy you're not likely to find in most places.

We don't write about food a ton over here, so when we do, you can bet there's something impressive about it. In the case of this double bacon cheeseburger served on bread cheese -- a dense, baked cheese that, in a pinch, can serve as an admirable, if artery-clogging, substitute for bread -- it's that someone consumed this thing and survived all 4,300 fat and salt packed calories of it. I don't know if that qualifies it as a good idea, but still, respect should be paid.

Swedish researchers from Upsalla University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have sequenced the world's most delicious genome -- that of the pig. The research is important because,  contrary to popular and well-considered opinion, pigs are more than just pre-bacon -- they could also teach us a lot about human and animal disease, and those lessons are sure to be buoyed by a better understanding of their genetic makeup. In related news, yes, this also have implications for sausage, bacon, and all the other many delicious meats that come out of the noble swine.

You might've heard there could be a bacon shortage in our near future, and you might've heard that, actually, there won't be one. Either way, the very slight possible chance that perhaps, just maybe, there'd be a shortage of bacon at any point in time worries Ron Swanson. Thankfully, in a The More You Know parody, he's here to teach us all how to prepare for the grim possibility.

Have you ever wondered what regret tastes like? The folks at Slater's 50/50 certainly have, and that's why they concocted the " 'merica Burger" which consists of a patty made of 100% ground bacon. It's said that just one bite is enough to kill a Shih Tzu.

Among the pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries found on Burger King's new limited edition summer menu, sits a simple, yet odd item one may have assumed would've never been put on offer at a national food chain: The bacon ice cream sundae.

We denizens of the internet are no stranger to the wonders of bacon. In fact, bacon proliferates across the web in a variety of ways. But perhaps none embody "internet" and "bacon" like those folks over at Epic Meal Time. They have a habit of putting bacon on their bacon only to then cover said bacon in more bacon with a little bacon grease on the side. It is known. So known, in fact, that thecussingchannel mashed together 30 episodes worth of them saying bacon into what might finally be classified as too much bacon.

Burger King Japan is currently running an ill-advised promotion where you can add 15 strips of bacon to your Whopper for a scant 100 yen, or about $1.20. "Ill-advised?" you say, "that sounds awesome!" Yes, for the most part it does. The ill-advised part is that there is apparently no limit, as a reporter from the Japanese website RocketNews discovered when he ordered a Whopper with a whopping 1,050 strips, at the cost of around $80. There's no telling if someone will attempt to one-up the record, but if anyone is even thinking about it, may God have preemptive mercy on their souls. Also their arteries.
