I’m sure we can all agree that bacon is great for eating. But did you know it’s also a very aesthetically pleasing artistic medium? Or that it’s capable of being hooked up to oxygen gas and cutting through steel? Here are a few of the greatest, most unique uses of bacon from around the web.<\/p>\n

Bacon Roses<\/h3>\n

Regular roses are just kind of lame, especially when compared to ones you can eat. Next time you need a romantic gift for that special lady in your life, follow these instructions<\/a> and you’ll have the key to her heart: through her stomach.<\/p>\n

Bacon Mug<\/h3>\n

\"bacon_mug\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Why would anyone use a regular old cup when you could drink from a\u00a0bacon\u00a0<\/em>mug? Fill it with some Rogue Maple Bacon Ale<\/a> for the most bacontastic experience possible.<\/p>\n

Starry Bacon Night<\/h3>\n

Bacon: as exceptionally pleasing to the eye as it is to the tongue.<\/p>\n

The Ba-K-47<\/h3>\n

\"bacon_akgun\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This guy<\/a> created a full-size replica of an AK-47 out of bacon. In his own words: “I came up with the BA-K-47, a 1:1 scale AK-47 made out of bacon. It took a total of eight hours to create, a lot of bacon, and a blowtorch… oh yeah, and our good friend beer helped too.”<\/p>\n

Flaming Bacon Lance of Death<\/h3>\n

And this guy<\/a> used bacon to literally cut through a steel pan<\/a>. A bacon lightsaber? Could there possibly be anything cooler?<\/p>\n

Bacon AT-AT<\/h3>\n

This specimen of pure awesomeness stands 3 feet tall and contains over 40 pounds of bacon. Here are some additional pictures<\/a> so you can gaze upon its greatness from every angle.<\/p>\n

Bacontivity<\/h3>\n

My mom makes an egg bake every Christmas morning. I’m going to pass this along and tell her she really needs to step up her game next year.<\/p>\n

Kevin Bacon<\/h3>\n

\"bacon_kevinbacon\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As part of his series of celebrity portraits, artist Jason Mecier<\/a> created this stunning portrait of Kevin Bacon, crafted entirely out of, fittingly, bacon. His other portraits<\/a> are also pretty funny (though I’m not sure any are able to top this one).<\/p>\n
