So says the P-I:

U.S. troops in Muslim nations where pig-eating is a religious no-no, have been requesting the local startup's product, dreamed up by two guys who stayed up late into the night brainstorming in 2006, to sprinkle on their MREs and anything else edible overseas.

The result? Operation Bacon Salt—an organized effort by the makers of the ingenious condiment to send a little bacon salty love to troops stationed overseas. As they say on their website, "While we don't have the resources yet to send Bacon Salt to everyone stationed overseas, we plan on sponsoring one group of soldiers per month until our troops come home." more ›
