I don’t care for bacon, it doesn’t have much flavor and is often just used for salt, or fat. I leave it out of almost all recipes that call for it and haven’t missed it yet.

I like it, when it’s useful. But does anyone remember the 2012ish bacon craze that everyone fucking had. I think that was one of the first marketing over-reactions to an internet meme. Fucking bacon ketchup. Just add salt to my salt please.
I remember epic meal time, I think that was winding down in 2012. I think TV chefs are still obsessed with bacon.
Sauwce. I watched that when they got popular, then fell off, then tried to come back and it had gotten weird.
Jack sauwce, bacon strips and bacon strips and bacon strips. bacon weave… It got a little repetitive.
Bacon gum, bacon soap, I swear I saw bacon scented shampoo once… It was stupid. Like overnight, everyone decided everything needed to be bacon.
For a moment, I wondered if Sanrio had went nuts and replaced Hello Kitty with a talking slice of bacon.
that’s what it was like, like every marketer around the world said “Oh look, bacon is funny on the internet, let’s make our stuff bacon”. Freaking wild time, and I know most of it went unsold
Maple bacon donuts were everywhere.
keep the maple, toss the bacon.
I like syrup on pancakes, and maple candied bacon can be yummy if it’s not overly sweet. But for some reason I don’t enjoy the maple frosting they put on donuts. It just has a weird artificial flavor to it.
Probably because it does have a weir artificial flavor added.
Yeah, that or they use shortening to make it shelf-stable, which always tastes like chemicals to me.
Speaking of shelf stable bakery products, I haven’t eaten there in years, but I never felt well after eating subway. I blame the bread.
You have cause and effect backward. Baconmania was the product of a marketing campaign. The marketing campaign was the source of the meme, not the follower of it.
