Sadly for those who love their shakes warm and fatty, the shake is in fact bacon-flavoured rather than bacon-infused in the way that you can make Bacon vodka . That means it’s technically vegetarian if you wanted to stretch the point. It comes out of the Jack In The Box chain in the US, and is flavoured with Torani bacon-flavored syrup, rather than thick, chunky strips of pure hog fat.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and throw up. Hey, maybe this is a diet item!
No, OK, it isn’t. According to Jack in the Box a regular bacon shake has 773 calories and 40 grams of fat. That’s no diet drink. But this YouTube video shows that it is, indeed, all too real.
If you do happen to be travelling to the States soon, the bacon milkshake is supposedly a secret menu item, part of Jack In The Box’s “You Love Bacon? Marry It!” campaign. [Jack in the Box via Gizmodo US via Huffington Post]

Not for religious reasons though, I just don’t like it.
A bacon flavoured milkshake is right up there with stuffed crust pizza: for people who prefer their food molested.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 9:13 PMI realise why the Yanks Bacon everything. It’s because they do’t actually eat real bacon. it’s all fat rind, no eye what so ever, it that goes too crunchy (as opposed to crispy). Therefore when they eat crappy bacon flavouring they are OK with it. If you are brought up on Aussie and UK bacon you wouldn’t even recognise the taste of American “Bacon”.
