With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today during our fall member drive. 

Pop quiz ladies: What's hotter than John Hamm's ham and Sean Lowe's washboard abs? Bacon, baby. Bacon. And you can now get a double dose of it in your after hours escapades thanks to two new products: Scope's bacon mouth wash and J & D's bacon condoms.

For those of you that are real meat lovers, you'd be best advised to slip on one of J & D's new bacon condoms, which come complete with a packet of smokey personal lube that'll make your man's meat taste more like, well, meat. (The product has already sold out online.)

And what better to rinse with afterwards than some bacon mouth wash. Procter & Gamble introduced their new product recently, stating that it keeps your breath minty fresh five times longer than brushing alone.

According to HuffPo, "Scope Bacon won't make your breath smell like bacon -- it just tastes like bacon when swished in your mouth. It's made with a synthetic bacon flavoring instead of real bacon, which probably explains why Scope doesn't recommend using Scope as a breakfast replacement."

It might sound like some sort of joke, but the reps from Procter & Gamble insist that it's real.

A girl can dream, right?

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
