By the time you read this, I’ll have given out a bunch of maple bacon lollipops at the PASS Summit.

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’s thought that for years, but this kinda reinforced her case.)  They’re all-natural maple-syrup-flavored lollipops with flecks of bacon inside.

BACON. IN A LOLLIPOP.

When strangers want to lure grown men into vans, this is what they use – as evidenced by the laptop’s name, “Man Bait.”  I’ll give you a moment to wash that thought out of your mind.

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.

You can buy your own maple bacon lollipops at Amazon for less than a buck apiece.  This has to be the cheapest bribes you’ll ever use.
