There are few things that make your stomach drop faster than seeing a police car siren in your rearview mirror.

The funny thing about these bacon-scented dryer sheets—and wall dispenser!—is that some smart entrepreneur is probably making a real version of this new prank pack in somewhere in Brooklyn. But the one I really want to be real is the NapSack.
