Bacon

HIGH ALERT

Worst things have been stored in jars for 6 months to be fair

The experience must have been very jarring.

@@IronBahamut what you mean by that🤨

@@brandongilmer768 man milkshakes

Fits well for a doom metal band, with the apocalyptic undertone of no bacon existing anymore

Sounds like the name of a punk or third wave ska song.

But you can call your band "TAB" for short, and then when people finally ask "wtf is TAB, that's a weird name for a band" and find out the real name is even weirder, it will blow their minds

For sure to any of those, and most likely any other suggestion others come up with. The only down side is that it also reminds you about there being no bacon, and that's sad.

@@skeetsmcgrew3282 this has to be a thing

You have only ever smelled Absence of Bacon your whole life, except for a couple of hours (depending on how much bacon you cook)

bro it smells like the ABSENCE OF BACON out here

The absence of bacon must be corrected

It's a sad life I know

@Soumil Jain aww I was going for something mildly existential lol. More power to you though, friend, and good on you for respecting others’ lifestyles!

You could also say those candles would be lit!

@@jacksu43-65 w

It might also not be a hit. If the scent of the candle stayed for months even after it runs out, customers would only buy, like, once a year. While the candles themselves might be awesome and well-regarded, the sales wouldn't go very well. -From your friendly neighborhood overthinking 6:00am guy.

Bacon candles: they truly light up your day!

@@Shadykatus Oh I already know. Planned obsolescence. What a waste.

Only instead of creating unbelievable inventions, he just turns food into worse versions of non-food objects.

I don't believe you.

So, Doctor Doofenshmirtz?

@@Damian_1989 BEHOLD! THE BACON SMELLINATOR!

@@leakyboat224 DAMMIT! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TYPE THAT! TAKE MY ANGRY LIKE!

I think with the addec capslock on the word bacon is definetly a complaint xD

Last I checked, "apple grease" wasn't a thing.

@@theuncalledfor not yet.

Why would that be bad?

I don't get it

Ohhh. I get it.

Ponies…

Rainbow...dash

Even with a jar of dirt-

That should be an April 1st entry. A candle that sounds like a good idea until your entire world smells like bacon for all of eternity

SCP-696969 Bacon Candles Description: [Insert video]

Good afternoon everyone. My name is Doctor Millar, and the SCP we're going to be looking at today is SCP-7218. The bacon candle. Object class: Safe. Special containment procedures: SCP-7218 is to be stored within a locked metal box, measuring 0.3x0.3x0.3 metres. The box is to be held at -5 degrees Celsius, in order to mitigate the spread of SCP-7218's scent - from now on referred to as SCP-7218-a. Description: [etc]

@@majesticfalcon6402 Upgrade that to Euclid and have the bacon fumes cause people to not want to ever smell another scent, causing them to go insane.

Addendum: CAN YOU GUYS STOP MIXING THE CANDLES WITH SCP-420-J? RANDOM HALLS IN THE SITE ARE STARTING TO SMELL LIKE BACON WHILE BEING OBSCURED WITH SMOKE. I EVEN SAW SECURITY PERSONNEL ALMOST OPEN THE CONTAINMENT UNIT OF 106 BECAUSE OF YOUR HIJINKS. IF I SEE ANYONE MIXING THESE TWO AGAIN, I'M IMMEDIATELY DEMOTING YOU TO D-CLASS.

Damn, why does your grandma hate you so much?

@@the_phantom_cat7912 I don't think it was out of spite or anything, I think she just forgot to throw it out

Well why would she keep that stuff in a can instead of throwing it out after cooking? Why would she save eggshells and bacon grease?

@@Meela9088 not sure about her, but I don’t put anything in the garbage that rots. Grease goes into a jar and frozen, same as bones and other such things. Then it gets tossed into the garbage on garbage day. EDIT a lot of things also get composted like egg shell and veggies

@@Meela9088 I was always taught to keep eggshells so that I could put them in the garden since they’re good fertilizer. I was also taught to keep the bacon grease because it stays good for a long time, and that way we could use it as oil instead of butter. Save the butter for the special occasions like when we’re cooking for guests. It’s because until my parent’s generation, my family has always been farmers in the middle of nowhere with not many grocery stores nearby. If something had a use, they’d find it. I imagine OP’s grandma is probably old fashioned and/or grew up somewhere rural Now why someone would keep both eggshells and bacon grease in the same jar? Your guess is as good as mine

I remember that! They put it in the oven, and I believe the exact phrasing was “my whole house smelled like the pillsbury doughboy’s butthole for a month”

How do you even do that? That would be at least three store-bought bottles of vanilla extract. What typical recipe calls for three containers of anything? Even making homemade extract, you would separate it into batches small enough to make you question it. Wouldn't you notice the batter being about twice (or thrice) as runny as it should be? Wouldn't you notice the overpowering scent and flavor when you taste it? Wouldn't it not cook right?

@@TheFansOfFiction well, somepeople just follow the recipe blindly. unfortunately, the same people might misread something and not question it until the very end

@@TheFansOfFiction iirc it wasn’t a recipe, it was a real estate agent hack to make a house smell nice by putting a little vanilla extract in the oven EDIT: it called for two *caps* of vanilla extract

@@San-lh8us yeah, but that's for things like a tablespoon of salt instead of a teaspoon, but two cups of vanilla

Genial

I LITERALLY thought that that was what was happening at first. 😂😂😂😂

Well, since smell is a chemical reaction in your nose you cant "smell the absence" of something. That is a brain thing where op has gotten so used to the stimulation from the bacon smell that it was odd for him to not smell bacon in the outside air. Can't disagree with "you dont smell like garbage" being comliment. Probably would be funny to confuse people by talking like that tough.

Technically both, I guess? At least, the way we experience scent, I think?? I’m half awake, though, so maybe I should smell you later and go back to sleep. Haha. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Litotes be like

IIRC that's actually why the air smells different in winter/when it's snowy out - you aren't smelling snow, just the absence (or near absence) of other smells

@@archonwarrior9146 There is a chance that the person would think "I was smelling like trash before?!"

Imagine taking a bath and smelling like bacon for the rest of the day.

@@PlaguewielderAlchemist Reminds me of the bacon soap from Invader Zim. "I MADE IT MYSELF! 😃"

Grease soap? Oh god i feel fear for my face

@@eagletgriff I've got bad news for you then; all solid bar soap is made of grease/animal fat and lye. Or at least it was. Modern bar soap is various chemical substitutes, which probably work better, but still.

So, like, use it sparingly, unless you're using it in a large area, and probably blend in a few other kind of oil. Other spices like rosemary oil would probably blend nicely.

oh i choose to be the weird one, even if

Dude just come crash on our couch you'll be right at home

Ngl, I'd probably be that roommate

Having wierd roommates is part of the fun!!!

If you don't want a weird roommate, become the weird roommate. Outweird them and you have asserted dominance

Finally, clear and correct advertising.

Onion candles.

@@sacrificiallamb4089 On it.

Egg candles- *vomit*

At the very least he could make sausage candles from leftover grease

"so then we released the whole breakfast collection, and the egg ones... well... we recalled those after a week, and we, um... the CDC is getting involved now and, it's bad, it's really bad, we might get shut down soon..."

How many rooms have you entered in the past 2-4 hours

More like fattest lol

Oh my god for months THEY smelled like bacon too 😭😭😭

There is only the ABSENCE OF BACON

He never stated it was first try. It's only implied roommate made it first time since they started living together

"Too much of anything can make you an addict." - Xzibit

Oh NO

I'm assuming this is somehow worse but I can't imagine how

NO

Sausage water

Is there an egg grease? We need to keep going until that candle smells like a full banquet breakfast.

They did run out, the smell stayed.

or secretly makes more

Unless you got fertilized eggs from a farmer, I’d be concerned about why you have embryos in your chicken periods.

@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive in a sense, eggs (as in the ovary kind) are just *very* undeveloped embryonic sacks Edit: or maybe the eggs I was eating were laid by the chicken Virgin Mary

​​@@rolls_8798hickens don't need to be fertilised to lay eggs, the eggs are gonna form and come out regardless. It's basically the chicken equivalent of a period

if it goes wrong you might just create the most toxic natural poison... dont keep it for too long

We kept a bacon-grease crock (It held about a quart, give or take) for as far back as I can remember while growing up. Grandma got it handed down from her mom sometime in the 1930s, and used it for years before I was born, it got passed down to my mom, and it was being used right up to (and I have no doubt, beyond) the time I left home to strike out on my own. Wish I could find the same sort of covered ceramic/stoneware crock today, but no joy. Have to settle for a pint Mason jar. Not as handy (You've gotta unscrew the lid - a "takes two hands" operation, rather than just lifting the cover with one hand and pouring the fresh grease out of the pan with the other) but accomplishes the job. 'Taters fried up in bacon grease... YUM! And it's hard to go wrong frying eggs in it. Always loved taking the fresh, still-hot bacon grease and drizzling it on pancakes in place of butter, too.

Bespoke: save bacon grease to make pig shaped candles, completing the cycle

You can also make soap with it.

I mean...that's technically still recycling

@@ryuhayabusapwns wonder if the correct mixing with lye is stated somewhere though.

@@ryuhayabusapwns you can also use it to heat up water into steam, put it through a turbine, and use the electricity to power a liposuction machine on a pig, extracting more fat from it and repesting the cycle

Pfftttt-

If it was that strong, I can’t see how the smell wouldn’t seep into the adjoining apartments, the hall, eventually the apartments further away…. The neighbors were probably wondering where the hell the constant bacon smell was coming from.

@@pvanpelt1 I’m curious just how strong the smell would be or if the air would transfer.

I think the worst part is that the guys will also smell of bacon. Wherever they go - bacon. Imagine your co-worker smelling of bacon...

@@Jehty_ it’d possibly just ruin bacon for life

bacon, unlimited bacon

3 months... Oh you poor naive child. It will smell of bacon for years. Sure, you can wash your clothes, but once you put them back into the closet they will pick up the smell again. And scrubbing the closet also won't solve it..

@@Jehty_Nuclear bomb but bacon.

@@Jehty_ Wouldn't the smell just, survive like the 0.1% of germs and live until the end of time?

Well, I would assume it involves filtering the fat and adding bees wax

And don’t forget the candle wick

If you have cats or dogs this has already happened to you

reminds me of how my brothers room had a sewage leak, and he had gotten so used to it that he couldn’t smell it

That happens to me sometimes if I've been visiting my parents for a few days and come back and I'm like, "Why does the house smell like hay??" Less so recently bc we've been cleaning more often

That's not irrational, every person I've met has a smell and their house smells more like them. Just how intense the smell and bad the smell is the difference. Spritz some air freshener before people come over and you should be fine :)

i work with horses ive become so desensitized to the smell of horseshit and cigarettes, that i smell the abcense of these two practicular scents mind you, i smell other things extemely well (i can recognize people by the smell of their sweat, and i have to eat very bland food cuz otheriwse i go insane)

Why do you know this.

I mean bacon grease isn’t very solid. Would be less of a candle and more of an oil lamp

@@TumblinWeeds It solidifies once it cools

@@Eggshellrabbit They're clearly the roommate from the video lol Joke aside, I imagine anyone who knows a bit about how candles are made might know this.

@@mnArqal93 oh! My roomate is a fondle worker and she stumbles across this on our account and she was like- “what the heck”

Go to bed

haha

Doesn't really add up. If you are able to afford bacon you are not on a budget.

do it

Go ahead and coat the inside of a mask with bacon grease, put it on, and wear it continuously for 24 hours. Tell me what you think then.

@@imveryangryitsnotbutter hi im a time traveler and i think its fucking SCRUMPTIOus i couldn't hold it in i had to eat the mask

Oh yeah the bacon candles would probably smell good to you for a few hours But a few days? You'd start getting tired of it and by a few months you'd be so accustomed to the smell of bacon that it loses its charm

I'd be complaining, bacon is the worst meat smell after smoked mackerels, and they are both really strong.

Slather every common household item, every bit of wall and every piece of furniture you have in your home with bacon grease and live in said home for months on end. Document the experience.

My thoughts exactly

Definitely terraria

the question here is not why, but HOW???

@@3_ormorecharacters Science! But seriously, you are just getting the oils from tobacco or much cheaper lotioned tissue, and concentrate it by heating in alcohol so evaporation happens quicker. Once you have the oils, add to bees wax, specifically bees wax. And voila, it smells like a pancake house in the 90's!

@@godferbidd6262 dang, I didn't actually expect an answer. science is cool!
