      Was that around the time when they had bacon flavored everything and motherfuckers were getting bacon tattoos?

        The Bacon Tuxedo was from 2007, and when that happened I remember thinking “Ok, this bacon thing has gone too far.” The Beggin Strips “bacon bacon bacon… It’s Bacon!!” commercial first aired in 1989.

          I knew beggin’ strips were way before, but I remember a brief period where there were bacon mints, bacon soap, bacon soda, bacon candy, bacon tattoos…bacon everything. I want to say it wasn’t long after a whole bunch of folks were getting those mustache tattoos on their fingers but I’m getting older and my perception of time is warped.

      I think this post must’ve been made at the tail end of “the narwhal bacons at midnight, lol holds up spork I’m so random” age of the Internet.

      I haven’t heard a peep about bacon in ages.
