I have come to the conclusion that everything is better with bacon.
How do I know this? Let’s do a little test, shall we? Tweet the word bacon. Or post a link in your Facebook, Tumblr or FF and watch the responses roll in. There’s even a site dedicated to bacon!
Bacon, unlike anything else you may randomly discuss, will get an immediate and mostly positive response.
Looking for better SEO? Want more followers? Looking for a marketing strategy guaranteed to increase customer happiness and interaction?
Bacon.
Bad day?
Bacon.
Because, if you think about it — is there anything bacon CAN’T fix?
I mean think about it (Mmmmmm bacon):
IRS Offers a Bacon Tax Credit for early filing.
Bacon Chewable Vitamins.
Orange juice and bacon after giving blood.
Can’t get laid? Bacon’s cheaper and less messy!
Asylum posted an image to a bacon bra.
There’s Bacon Chocolate. (thanks @infotangent)
and….
See what I mean? ::grin::
The possibilities are endless ;-)
My favorite bbq joint makes cinnamon maple bacon cupcakes. Oh yeah, they’re that good.
Had chocolate-covered bacon at the state fair about 2 weeks ago. Surprisingly, it wasn’t bad. Not the greatest chocolate combo (that would still have to be chocolate and peanut butter), but it was good. The chocolate taste overpowered the bacon, but there was still that satisfying crunch.
And just to prove that bacon does, indeed, make everything more awesome:

there is thinkgeek’s bacon gum. And a host of other baconworshipping sites. fyi, making your owh herbed bacon is teh awesome. Just get regular bacon and spice it up urself before backing it in the oven. yes. proper bacon is made on a sheet in the oven @420 or thereabouts. herb d provence or real maplesyrup on it is awesome. or heaps of fresh ground pepper.
Here is my favourite bacon-related breakfast in the world..
A crepe filled with bananas, peanut butter, and you guessed it.. BACON. Then, they put the crepe in a panini press, and sprinkle strawberries and such on top. Delicious.
I had this at Cora’s (http://www.chezcora.com/).
Even my blog is called Girly Bacon. Sigh. Bacon rules all.
There’s even a company that makes bacon flavored chocolate that I’m told is very good.
