Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Pinky?

Over the last few days I've reviewed and prioritized something like 2000 (!) bugs.  This is something that any reasonably large software project goes through - multiple products will over the course of multiple years build up a rather impressive database of software defects.  Lots - maybe most - will be trivial and basically irrelevant; others will be critical.

Thus, the bug scrub.  A good time is had by all ...

Well, after two or three days of this does odd things to your mind.  To wit:

Suppose, Gentle Reader, that you were to make up a mess of Pig Candy, because Bacon!  Bacon Candy, of course, if bacon strips coated with brown sugar and cayenne, and roasted until it's crispy porkiness covered in sweet/spicy glaze.  Further suppose that you were to open your Arms Locker, allowing a defensive perimeter to keep all the Pig Candy from being snarfed up in the first 10 minutes.

Why, you'd have a big ol' mess of Pig Candy.  Now assume that you were to take your favorite Chef's Knife, and chop it into fine pieces.  You'd have a topping that could go on all sorts of things:
  • Salads: these are the bacon bits di tutti bacon bits.
  • Ice Cream
  • Waffles
  • You get the idea
My question - assuming that you're pondering what I'm pondering - what you put these on?  What sort of cocktails would they go on?  Could you frost the rim of a Margarita glass with them?

Bootnote: for the two readers who don't recognize the reference from the post title, it's from the much loved TV show Animaniacs:

I'm thinking shortbread cookies.

I think so bp, but where are we going to find four oak doors and 30 feet of greased chain at this time of day?

Ratus, the internets are on their way via FedEx.
