If you spend any time at all on the internet, you’ve come across an internet meme or viral. We’ve had Rickroll, LOLcats, D*ck in a Box, I Like Turtles, and who could forget the infamous Peanut Butter Jelly Time. Well I’ve noticed a new trend popping up everywhere – bacon!
First we had Kevin Bacon and then the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon game. Well the internet has decided to get serious – drop the Kevin and get down to what’s important – BACON.
Yes, that bacon…the artery clogging, tasty and delicious breakfast staple. The one your Mom would only let you have two slices of growing up. Well we’ve grown up now and Mom is no longer there to limit our bacon consumption. So we’ve gone on a bacon rampage – much to our hearts displeasure.
One of the major necessities of a strong meme is in its flexibility. Bacon has been a keen illustrator of that very quality. And without further ado, I present you bacon in all of its bacony goodness.
The Double Baconator – People have been on a mission as of late to photoshop the best baconator that they can think of:
Crazy Bacon Inspired Cooking:
Bacon on a Stick Covered in French Fries
* Meat on a stick is almost as good as bacon, so when you combine bacon and sticks, you get the ultimate snacking pleasure!
Chocolate Dipped Bacon Sprinkled with Pop Rocks
**I read this on a blog yesterday and it came complete with pictures and everything. For the life of me though, I can’t find it today. grrr. If you happen to come along it, please send it this way and we will be eternally grateful in full bacony glory!
Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburger
Random Stuff Floating Around the Internet:
Could this new trend be speaking to the fact that we love things bad for us? I can’t say for a fact that indulging in lightning bolt lightning bolt was anything more than a guilty pleasure, but in all honesty, neither is fantasizing about what chocolate dipped bacon topped in pop rocks would taste like.

Simply put: bacon makes everything better. Hell, you could wrap a turd in bacon and people would be runnin to eat it up!
Ok, maybe that is a stretch but you see where im going with it

You can’t polish a turd, but the Welsh have definitely tried…
