Is it just me or is bacon in EVERYTHING lately?

[Coventina]

It seems to me that everywhere I eat out lately, I've been having sneak bacon attacks.

Like bacon bits are routinely sprinkled on salads now. They didn't used to be! I used to be able to order a garden salad with confidence!

And it seems like a lot more sauces come with bacon flavoring. Yech!
At least bacon is one of those things that you can definitely smell before you accidently put it in your mouth.

And every sandwich in the world seems to come with strips of bacon now!

I watch tv, and it seems like it's becoming standard for chicken sandwiches to have bacon on them! Yuk!
I mean, that totally undoes any benefit that going chicken over beef would have!

Is there some kind of massive push on the pork industry to get themselves everywhere? What is going on?

1. More meat!!!!

Don't you know, you NEED more meat! :eyes:

I honestly don't know. I just ALWAYS ask, no matter what I am ordering. You never can be to safe :)

2. I don't understand bacon cheeseburgers.

Sonic has this Island Fire burger that just nauseates me every time I see the ad: two beef patties, TWO kinds of cheese, bacon and a habanero sauce. I don't know what island that's supposed to represent, but I'd like to stay as far away from it as possible. :puke:

3. Everything...

I was recently frustrated a few weeks back at a chain Italian restuarant in Michigan (can't recall the name). Everything was meat-based or had dairy in it, so I thought I'd order the massive garden dinner salad. And it arrived... beautiful, fresh lettuce and tomatos, yummy olives. And oh, bacon. Big chunks of bacon. Of course, I requested a fresh salad sans bacon, but I was suprised because it wasn't a listed ingredient... seems like you might want to list that one.
