"While the supply of pigs might be shrinking, demand for pork has been flying high. "Bacon has been a very big food trend," says brand consultant Debra Kaye, author of Red Thread Thinking.

All this new demand + low supply = the price of pork goes up..."
Bacon lip balm caught our eye...and yes, we are guilty...We've made numerous orders of bacon flavored lip balm....
