Are you tired of those plain looking band-aids? Those slightly pink colored strips only remind me of the worst times when I was kid. When you’ve got a cut, you want to be cheered up. And what’s the most cheering thing besides a nice slab of bacon? That’s right, designers have made a band-aid in the shape of bacon strips. Just plop one of these babies on and you’ll be healing up pork style in no time.

I think this idea with these plasters is a very good idea for kids, it will make them laugh when they get hurt, that will take there mind of the pain.
