A few quick updates. We're working on shipping, shipping, shipping this week. Our goal is to catch up to the present day today and finish working through the large number of orders we got last week. We've hired a few part-timers to help us get through everything, so we'll get your packages to you as fast as humanly possible!
Secondly, we got a really great honor from Mercy Corps, a charitable organization to whom we donate all of our proceeds from our merchandise sales. They profiled us on their website today at http://www.mercycorps.org/getinvolved/communityfundraising/1778. We love Mercy Corps for all the good they do around the world, and how you can donate to specific crises and causes that are of interest to you, and we're really honored that they chose to profile us.
Finally, here's a use for Bacon Salt that we hadn't thought of - on watermelon! We haven't confirmed this for ourselves yet, but Ryan (who submitted the first known picture of this treat here) describes it as:
"Incredible. Had a similar appreal as does mexican candy. Sweet but spicy."
Keep those ideas coming! Send your pics and recipes today to baconlove@baconsalt.com!
I'll have to wait until you get in a local store because there is no way I'm paying more for postage than I pay for the product. $5.00 postage for one little bottle is outragous. If I could buy 4 bottles and pay $5 postage that would be different. Oh well. I can wait.

Susan - thanks for the comment! As mentioned, we hate shipping costs too and are working hard to get this product to the masses. The food industry really stacks the cards against smaller companies like ours, so it may take some time.
In the meantime, you can now buy 4 bottles with a $5 shipping charge - any combination you like, but sampler packs tend to ship out faster since we have them pre-packed.
