The bacon thing was... really weird.
I mean, I like bacon, but... not like enough to make a lifestyle out of it
I heard it was in part a push from the pork industry. They were struggling to get grocery shoppers to keep buying bacon during the anti-fat fads of the 90s, so they spent millions lobbying fast food places and restaurants to make bacon a premium add-on 'bacon makes it better'; then the fast food marketing machine slowly brainwashed a generation into bacon obsession.
Ugh. Nothing is even shocking anymore.
I think it was an overblown reaction about masculinity and being against vegetarianism and whatnot. Obviously it became less explicitly about that, but i do think it stems from those feelings originally.
I went full-on bacon eating back in 2012 because who cared. A year later I'm fat and slow. Fuck those Mayans.

I miss demotivational posters.
There's a comm for it. Just not a lot of content
When epic meal time was the biggest YouTube channel.
Oh my god i completely forgot how much everyone loved epic meal time. Could never to content like that in this economy.
I was younger so it was somewhat enjoyable. Mostly for me it was seeing what crazy monstrosity they were going to make.
So you remember Strong Bad?
I mostly remember Trogdor to be honest.
no, but i remember Strong Sad.
God I forgot about the whole bacon thing.
I remember it as the same time the narwhal bacon'ed. Never got the appeal of that meme.
And unfortunately I'm going to have to remind you how bad it got... https://www.baconaddicts.com/products/bacon-flavored-toothpaste-flavor-tooth-paste

"... Just to suffer?"
One of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here?
I mean, if we took their base, then we'd just have two bases in the middle of a box canyon..

Bacon will forever remain epic, even if it is slowly killing me.
