Other A few new... things, for the collectors out there

Well, I've got a few Ideas, but no pixel art ability, so I will have no sprites. BUT! This is something I just thought of, so I'm writing this immediately. Excuse the terrible terminology I may end up using.

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions(and clarifying that bacon is a thing). I've added the Cluster Dynamite(Finn Bushidzyn), which I did not add the sticky and bouncy versions for because let's face it; that would be just a bit overpowering. Coupons have been updated(Sigma 90). Once again, thanks.

Portable merchant (via Coupon) sounds interesting. It'd be a good way to offload your stuff mid-adventure. Personally, I wouldn't make it a consumable. I'd make it a reusable item like the mirrors that teleport you home. There should be a penalty for a portable merchant, most likely a -10% or -25% selling price reduction.

Sales Ad also sounds interesting. But for both Sales Ad and Coupon, need to consider:
- How do you obtain these items?
- What are the merchants like? (Graphically?, are they human or something else?, etc.)
- What do they sell?

Currently no opinion on the other items.
 
We Already Have The Skeleton Merchant For Subterranean Exploration, But I Guess This Guy Can Be Summoned Anywhere, Anytime.
Also, The Bacon Already Is An Item, One From The Pigron, And It Does Almost EXACTLY What Yours Does, Except It Increases Life Regen Instead Of Crit Chance.
The Bombs Sound Neat, I Have Little To Say, Except Add A Stronger Version. Like Cluster Dynamite, Which Would Deal 150 Damage With The Secondaries Dealing 50.
I Think We Have Enough Critters, But Hey, What's Another?
