My last name is Bacon, so I've received tons of bacon scented/ flavored products from friends over the years. I eventually had two bacon air fresheners, so I thought "What the heck, why not open one?" The best way I can think to describe the smell is if a dog were to eat a can of wet dog food, then proceed to barf it out again. IT'S THAT BAD. & the smell permeates. I tried putting in in 5 "Freezer Burn Protection" Ziploc bags, but I could smell it through the bags after a day.
