I Know Bacon is a Garnish, but Really....

I'm away on a work trip and while in the airport, I loaded up on the required magazine-to-miles-traveled-ratio.  I picked up the latest Food Network magazine and as I flipped through, I found this...

While we love bacon I can't help but wonder when bacon became OK to put in a drink.  
Candied or not....I just can't do it.


The Big Guy on the other hand....he is all for it.
Sorry, hon.  You're on your own.
