I just entered Hormel's drawing for a Breathable Bacon Mask. It's a sewn black mask with bacon images on it and it's said to smell like bacon. It's a promotion for their Black Label bacon, and today is the last day for the drawing. I hope they sell this thing.

 

They may be on to something that would induce people to cover both mouth and nose. In one graphic showing how to wear the mask, it says, "Keep facial orifices snugly covered to enjoy maximum whiffage," and under "Don't," it shows someone wearing a mask with nose exposed and the copy says, "Nose exposure allows essential bacon scent to escape." It also tells you not to eat the mask.

Sounds awful!  Not something that I woud be interested in at all.  However if I want to "smell" things I can still smell perfume through a mask....wonder if a virus can still get through?

Black Label is my favorite bacon!

 

It's a good marketing tool because if I wore a mask that smelled like that bacon, it would just make me hungry for all things bacon!

I already don’t want scents in my shampoo or my lotions — can’t imagine wearing a scented mask

I cannot imagine what type of artficial ingredient(s) is used to create a "bacon scent". 

 

It would appear to me you would be inhaling whatever they use to create the scent.

 

Sorry this would not be for me no matter what artificial scent is used.

 

Those who like this-enjoy.

Oh my.....I'm afraid that would make me want to eat bacon.

I read an article yesterday that KFC now makes a fire log for your fireplace that smells like fried chicken (available at WalMart).

 

Being a southern girl, fried chicken is one of my favorite foods, however I hate the way my house smells like oil and fried chicken for days afterward.

 

And I use air cleaners in the kitchen and dining room that uses charcoal to remove odors.

I think a bacon mask is simply disgusting and somehow offensive.

Much as I love bacon, I don't want to smell it all the while I'm wearing a mask.  Too much of a good thing, IMHO.
