Squeeze Bacon and a Tauntaun sleeping bag, it's about freaking time!
This high-quality sleeping bag looks just like a Tauntaun, complete with saddle, internal intestines and glowing lightsaber zipper pull. Use the lightsaber zipper pull to illustrate how Han Solo saved Luke Skywalker from certain death in the freezing climate of Hoth by slitting open the belly of a dead Tauntaun and placing Luke inside the stinking (but warm) carcass.
Awesome!
Squeez Bacon® is fully cooked 100% bacon, it requires no preservatives or other additives. Each serving is as healthy as real bacon, and equivalent to 4 premium slices of bacon! You can put it on sandwiches, pizza, pastas, bacon, soups, pies, eat it hot or cold (warm Squeez Bacon® on toasted rye is to die for), substitute it for bacon in your recipes, or even eat it right out of the tube like we do!
The Tauntaun bag will set you back $40, and a tube of Squeez Bacon® will cost you $8. Unfortunately, they're both fake and you can't buy either one (April Fools!). Still, ThinkGeek is pretty foolish for not actually making these. So who knows, maybe they will (at least the sleeping bag). Because if they don't, I'm going to. I'd just prefer they do it because I'm lazy. I haven't even left the bed today! Seriously, I'm running out of dry spots.

Thanks to Chrissy Poopy Pants McBacon Lover, brittany and xring, who would totally scarf some Squeez Bacon® while nestled at the bottom of their Tauntaun sleeping bags while reading comics by flashlight.

the tauntaun sleeping bag is seriously one of the best things I have ever seen.

That tauntaun bag is a good idea. Not so much with the squeeze bacon though...
Enjoy your April Foolery!!! I'm fresh out of gags that won't bring me horrid karma, so I'm out of the game today!

This might smell bad, kid, but it'll keep you warm.
6. Moose knuckle - April 1, 2009 11:17 AM
Does the sleeping bag smell worse on the inside?

10. Gubba - April 1, 2009 11:50 AM
My girlfriend is going to taste alot better thanks to the squeeze bacon. Thanks ACME.

I just had this link emailed this morning, nothing beats bacon news in my inbox
12. Freddy K - April 1, 2009 12:01 PM
I so want a Tauntaun sleeping bag!
13. Rhialto - April 1, 2009 12:01 PM
I wonder which part of the body that tail of the Tauntaun sleeping bag is keeping warm!?
14. LSDiesel - April 1, 2009 12:04 PM
To all who are wondering, I have found a place of residence.
Thank you for caring. I'm living with a good friend of mine and things are much better in life because of it.
But in the interest of keeping the comments relevant....
I had my credit card out and I was looking for the hyperlink and then....april fools.
Goddamn this awful awful day!
15. Darth - April 1, 2009 12:06 PM
I rather squeez real fat!
16. Daisy - April 1, 2009 12:07 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max was being chased on his moped by Rush limbaugh who was having a craving for the canada mints Kenny sold him as Oxy-Contin. Max had a squeeze bottle of bacon he shot into his carburetor to make a smoke screen. He was able to escape but the engine failed soon after. When he took it to the mechanic, he opened it up and said - and I thought these smelled bad on the outside.

I've been pulling pranks all morning. I love this blessed day!
18. Ocelot - April 1, 2009 12:31 PM
This is one of those cases where I WISH the "shadow's" weren't all wrong. I need that sleeping bag! I've been using one of those lame normal sleeping bags for years! Mine doesn't have realistic intestines inside! No lightsaber zipper! Damn you April Fool's Day .
19. Pew³ - April 1, 2009 12:44 PM
I thought they smelled bad on the outside!
TaunTaun's too!
Ka Pow!
20. Jeff W. - April 1, 2009 2:12 PM
Damn, I was totally going to buy both of them!
21. Maximusprime - April 1, 2009 2:26 PM
I'm so furious I can't buy that sleeping bag. I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one seriously ready to make the purchase.
22. naas - April 1, 2009 2:30 PM
Deez, glad to hear it's panned out & hope it stays that way
Daisy, each passing day I love you a little bit more
Shum, share the good ones so I can try something on the lady

Turning the monitor display upside down by pushing alt, ctrl and ↓
Scotch Tape on the bottom of the opitical mice (all 23 coworkers) That was funny because I was the first one in. One by one they all fell for it.
Crank calls by using http://www.phonemyphone.com/ This only works for about 5 calls, so use it on one person per day.
Finally, I rigged a desk chair so that when someone sits in it, the gas canister decompresses completely. Makes them feel really fat.
Enjoy, naas. Fück 'em, that's why.
25. Watch - April 1, 2009 3:46 PM
@ 22 quit encouraging that idiot. Tauntaun looks cool!
26. $.02 and a pocket full of FAH-Q - April 1, 2009 4:28 PM
24- Tape to the mouse one was fun last year. It's a shame I can't blame you for my chair situation... I do blame the Ding-Dongs... OM NOM NOM NOM
27. cthulhulovesyou23 - April 1, 2009 6:11 PM
OMG I'm gonna get me some of that squeezey bacon and rub it all over myself.
28. Noelani - April 1, 2009 6:46 PM
You son of a bitch.
I was so excited.
29. V - April 1, 2009 7:44 PM
Son of a bitch...I got really excited about that Tauntaun sleeping bag. Now I have to live without it.
30. Pepper - April 1, 2009 8:38 PM
My heart shattered when I read that the tauntaun is not real…I read the whole thing on the edge of my seat, unable to rip my eyes away from the screen while I dug around my purse blindly for my wallet and credit card, and then gasped when I read the “april fools”.
*sobs* I will never be whole again.
GOD DAMN YOU, GW! YOU KNEW HOW MUCH I LOVE TAUNTAUNS! HOW DEAR YOU USE THE THINGS I REVEAL TO YOU AGAINST ME LIKE THIS!
*slits wrists with Master Sword*
31. gigbot23 - April 1, 2009 8:56 PM
Once in a while, Daisy actually gets something right.
It is fake.

"ATTN Tauntaun Fanatics! Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for. But if you are interested in ever owning one of these, click the link below and we'll try! " from ThinkGeek.
33. ktro - April 1, 2009 11:56 PM

39. Serena - August 23, 2009 4:51 PM
