Bacon, such a magical meat. You can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can make caramel out of it. And once you're covered in bits of bacon from your eating adventures, now you can clean yourself with it! That's right, this guy managed to figure out how you can make soap out of the fat from bacon. It's even shaped like a bacon strip!

Soap can be made from just about any kind of fat. Even though fat from bacon, called lard, isn't the finest of fats to use for making soap, it somehow seemed to be the most exciting. Why? Because bacon is amazing. It has an almost mystical power to it and is a food that can be craved to almost no end. I figured what better way use the extra grease I had from cooking bacon then to turn it into soap!
