<p>I ran across these at Whole Foods and immediately bought the entire box.  Erika thought I was crazy.  (Well, I mean, to some extent she&#8217;s thought that for years, but this kinda reinforced her case.)  They&#8217;re all-natural maple-syrup-flavored lollipops with flecks of bacon inside.</p>
<p><em><strong>BACON</strong></em>. IN A <em><strong>LOLLIPOP.</strong></em></p>
<p>When strangers want to lure grown men into vans, this is what they use &#8211; as evidenced by the laptop&#8217;s name, &#8220;Man Bait.&#8221;  I&#8217;ll give you a moment to wash that thought out of your mind.</p>
<p>I taped my Moo Cards to the back, and I used these as bait to entice SQL Server professionals to race to the SQLServerPedia booth.  My evil knows no bounds.</p>
<p>You can buy your own <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002F4OV18?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=brozsqseex-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002F4OV18">maple bacon lollipops at Amazon</a> for less than a buck apiece.  This has to be the cheapest bribes you&#8217;ll ever use.</p>
