File this one under strange and totally unnecessary:

Fred Flare, the eclectic boutique that carries everything from Harajuku Girls hoodies to hamburger telephones a la Juno, has just added a rather peculiar little item to its online e-commerce site, bacon-flavored dental floss. Yuck, indeed.

Look. We've all been known to chew on hot crispy bacon, Sunday mornings come to mind, but the idea of using a string fused with artificial bacon flavoring after we have just used mint toothpaste to clean our teeth with has our stomachs turning.

But the Fred Flare product description would beg to differ with us, lamenting: "So wrong it's right, this pack of dental floss has the delicious flavor of crispy bacon! Is there anything bacon cannot improve? We think not."

No, Fred. We think you're just plain wrong on this one. *Shivers*
