Well I guess if having a weird obsession with sliced pork belly is quirky

>>5511231
Yeah, it makes me special and gives me validation to bacon. Because bacon. Haha! Bacon.

literally because of reddit

bacon was a reddit meemay

>>5511252
Shut the fuck up no it wasn't. People thought bacon was funny before reddit.

>bacon isn't even that good

that's a lie.

because everybody loves bacon and it's closely linked to the idea of gastronomic excess. it's also an affordable ingredient that has been used as an auxiliary ingredient in a bajillion kinds of dishes for hundreds of years.

i blame epic meal time

>Bacon isn't even that good

Yes. Yes it is.
Bacon is easy to make, satisfying as fuck, and tastes great.
If you don't like it that's entirely on you.

>>5511282
Shit was around before that.

>>5511264
Not really affordable anymore.
Prices went up because of the bacon craze, and its getting fairly ridiculous.

>Why did the bacon fad even exist?

americans are just THAT fucking stupid.

>the bacon fad

you spend too much time on social media, and are almost certainly underage

I'd have sex with a man for a double cheeseburger.

>>5511207
>bacon isn't even that good
even professional chefs have said "add bacon to anything and it will be good"

>>5511334

I bet veronica takes it up the ass

I'd let her poop my dick out all day

bacon started when the ham companies got together with the grandfather of marketing and started pushing 'hearty, meaty breakfasts' instead of grains like ya'll fat motherfuckers should be eating.
i forget the marketing dudes name. worked with all of the presidents while he was alive, fucked with the suffragettes on behalf of cigarette companies.

>>5511442

no im pretty sure people are talking about how there has been an insurgency of lol bacon goes on everything and products like bacon soap and bacon lipstick becoming a thing

i personally blame epicmealtime as well as "LOL BACON XD RANDUM" internet culture

no idea about the gasoline-huffing story you just made up

>>5511257
Yeah but reddit doesn't know when to stop so this is why you still hear about bacon everything.

>>5511334
>beezow doo-doo zopittybop-bop-bop

Let's not forget the popularity of Epic Meal Time which is still around and predates the popularity of Reddit.

Literally every one of the earliest videos from back in 2010 needed to have bacon in some shape or form, and it's in abundance in the latest video so I'll assume they've been doing this for 5 years (wow, this just won't get old! at all!)

>>5511579

oops
really old tab
epicmealtime mentioned 2 times already
ignore my post

>>5511207
Fucking this.

I do like bacon, but all the underages circlejerk over it for no reason other than the fact it's a meme. (And bacon flavoured toothpaste? Fuck right off)

>>5511546

I have been on reddit and I've seen bacon in like maybe 2 posts, and those were on specifically food related forums.

You really don't know what the fuck you're talking about, do you? Does anyone have that screencap about how words like "hipster" and "reddit" actually translates to "things I don't like and can't understand why others like because I'm a self centered child who thinks the entire world revolves around me and my interests"?

>>5511595
top lel m8 i see it all the time

>>5511207

ITT: Autistic single children.

Guess what? Other people like things you don't like. Trends exist. I bet I can name 5 interests of yours or food that you like that are trendy too. The only people who get bent out of shape over trends are people who are actually TRYING to be hipsters, legitimate hipsters, not just what
>>5511595 was saying though he's right.

English bacon is superior anyway.

>>5511596

>not denying the second part of what I said
>"BUT MUH PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IS PROOF"
>thinking it's actually proof

So you admit I'm right and that hipster and reddit are just pathetic buzzwords, kay. It's really sad how you have to scramble for scapegoats to explain away things you don't like.

>>5511207

>people get this mad over trends

I'm glad I have a life outside of 4chan and am not a terminal hipster.

>>5511595
Are you gonna pretend reddit didn't at least to some degree treat bacon as a meme?

>>5511605

Not as much as 4chan seems to think. Nor do I credit them with the creation of the meme. If anything, it's 4chan who started it.

>>5511605

I'm just really sick of seeing other website being used as a scapegoat for everything while we pretend we have nothing to do with "le memes XD"- at least when they get popular we don't. It's such hypocritical faggotry.

>>5511595
>I have been on reddit

You know what to do.

When I quit smoking I took up electronic. I have to admit, weird as it sounds, I have been vaping bacon flavored ejuice. I actually really like it. There is a certain smokiness to the flavor that I find really appealing.

Im not gonna let stupid shit fuck up bacon for me, or any food for that matter. Yes I do hate epic meal time otherwise known as the Fast Food Stacking Show, but it shouldnt affect what YOU eat at all. I still add bacon to some things when I cook, nothing wrong with that.
Also, Epic Meal Time seemed like such a hilarious concept at first, it something weve probably all done, get drunk, start cooking something, get drunk more, then wind up making something crazy thats like 2000 calories and you eat it all yourself.
>Jack Daniels hahaha
But then it got old and stupid really fast, became a "thing" on the internet, made the bacon bullshit even more obnoxious, and got their own cooking wear. Anyone with Epic Meal Time gear should have been naturally selected a long time ago.

>>5511207
>being upset about what other people eat

grow up

Same goes for drinking.
