Bacon.

I mean I get it. We studied the marketing campaign that led to baconmania in class. It’s one of the greatest marketing campaigns of all time, right up there with “A Diamond is Forever” from de Beers.

But in the end, bacon is … OK. But there’s many better ways to use pork bellies than turning them into bacon. Especially the over-processed stuff that’s used on foods in restaurants.

I am so annoyed with bacon on burgers. Stop putting bacon on your burgers. Restaurants will go through the trouble of having some delicious house sauce or concept for the burger, and then overpower it completely by putting 4 strips of cheap ass bacon on it, what the fuck are you doing people, trust in your burger sauce why are you like this
The power of marketing. All the cool kids are doing bacon. You don’t want to be uncool now, do you?
