We thought the bacon taco shell was the apex of bacon. We were wrong.

Oscar Meyer has introduced a new Bacon Dog. The dog isn't totally made out of bacon – the ingredient list includes mechanically separated turkey, chicken, and pork – as well as bacon pieces. Still, you'll apparently get a hefty dose of bacon flavor in this new dog, which Oscar Meyer is rolling out just in time for Memorial Day.

The company has also introduced four less exciting new flavors – a gluten-free chicken-breast hot dog, bigger versions of Smokies smoked sausages, lite hot dogs, and fat-free hot dogs.

Memorial Day is here--, marking the unofficial start of summer, and with that, the start of the barbecue season. So it's a good time to discuss barbecue preferences.

• Which is better -- charcoal or gas?
• Are you a simple hot dog and hamburger person, or do you dare throw steaks, ribs, chicken and fish on the grill? What's the oddest thing you've ever grilled?
• Who in your house does the grilling?
• Who cleans up the mess at the end? Or is that the point of grilling -- no pots and pans?
• Do you prefer to be the host or the guest?

NEW SCENTS ADDED TO MEN’S CANDLE COLLECTION

The Yankee Candle Company has added two candles to the Man Candles collection – hickory-smoked bacon and buttered popcorn.

Yankee Candle says 10 percent of its total sales came from the Man Candles last year – so they’re also bringing back some of the old favorites, including spicy “Man Town,” leather-scented “First Down,” and “Riding Mower,” which smells like fresh cut grass. (BostonHerald.com)
