Not sure what this means, but bacon is absolutely everywhere now & has been for awhile. There's even an entire Toxel post about designs inspired by bacon.
There's also the recurring Baconnaise cameo on The Daily Show, the ever-popular bacon mints (not good) and the new bacon business cards. Oh, and sales of actual bacon are up too - it's now a 2 billion dollar business. Remember the Baconator? Wendy's sold 68 million in the first eight months. A quick search on vegetarianism shows signs of a slow-down. Very interesting. Wonder how Obama's healthcare plan is coming along...
I fucking love bacon and yes, this is one of those times where the f-bomb is appropriate.

I don't get the bacon craze. Maybe it's a vegetarian thing. What I do love is the Jack-in-the-Box mini slider ads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut0WDb-xzks. The mini cows and Roy Rogers-type music are really a win. Still a vegetarian though . . .

You forgot Sweden's own Squeez Bacon:

Shoot me an email if you want Corey Ciszek's bootlegged Morton's recipe for bacon-wrapped scallops.

My wife was watching TV the other day. There's some company that makes bacon-flavored lipstick. And chocolate covered bacon. Awesomeness!

Peter: I didn't mean to offend. I appreciate your love of bacon and often enjoy it myself.
Susan: Love that your affinity for mini outweighs your distaste for meat. Well, not enough to eat it, but enough to love the idea of mini-burgers. And of course that commercial reminded me of your love of mini-ponies. Hilarious.
Greg: Squeez Bacon might be the most disgusting product I've ever seen. Seems more American than Swedish, surprised we weren't the innovators behind that. And yes, I would love Corey's bootlegged recipe please, mostly because it is bootlegged. Thank you.
Barry: I wouldn't mind trying chocolate covered bacon. Just curious really.

Never offended... As always, intrigued by bacon products I went to check out the squeeze bacon mentioned by Greg. Wow, gross. And then I get this in my inbox today:

On Sushi, rather "seameat"?
