Forget fancy knives and tools that make foam, bacon is many a chef's secret weapon.

• Write a novel that will be critically trashed upon release and end up in bargain bins, only to be re-evaluated 200 years from now as a masterpiece of its time.
• Get more bacon into my diet.
• Actually click on one of those pop-up ads. Honestly, what’s the worst that could happen?
Penn & Teller.
