Coffee does not immediately taste like coffee...

I cannot really remember when I started consuming coffee, but I guess I was about 14 years old. Since then I like my coffee always the same way: only with milk, no sugar and especially not with any of the 1000 flavors the Americans like to add to their coffee. All members of family drink their coffee pretty much like that (the one prefers half-and-half over milk and the other does not add anything).

The most people I know back home (in Germany) drink their coffee unsweetened. Americans on the other hand seem to prefer any kind of flavor, there must exist 1000s, over the actual taste of the coffee. I study this behavior since 8 month now every day at the coffee place in the university's library. Pretty interesting what the people (Americans) add to their coffee to get the caffeine in their body, but not to taste the actual coffee flavor anymore...

The weirdest flavor I discovered the other day... BACON.

Who wants a task of smoked, fried, fatty bacon in one's coffee?
I haven't met or seen a single person ordering a bacon-latte yet, but I had to get to know more about it...

On the website of baconaddicts.com I found the following description about the Torani Bancon Flavoring Syrup:

"Bacon Addicts will this appreciate this salty, sweet syrup packed with bacon's authentic smoky, savory flavor! ...
Torani suggests you use their bacon syrup in Coffee, Espresso, Lattes, Manhattans, Milkshakes, Old-Fashioned and Bloody Marys. But, we think you can get more creative with Bacon Lemonade, Bacon Soda, or Bacon Beer! Or put it on ice cream, in an apple pie, on pancakes or in cake frosting - anywhere you want to add the sweet, smoky taste of BACON!"

Isn't that gross? Taste is allway a subjective ... but bacon-flavored coffee and coctails do not appeal to me!

What do you think about this new flavor? Has anyone tried it yet? I would love to know...
