I am not knocking bacon in any way, mind you. I have moral compunction a about eating it, given what we know about pigs’ intelligence and all, but dammit, bacon is meat used to enhance the flavor of other meat. It’s just that literally wrapping your car in figurative bacon might be a bridge too far.

It’s good, but can we all stop acting like it is the end-all, be-all of anything food-related? Must we really engulf our cars with a giant bacon likeness just to show everyone that we are more bacon-loving than they are? Can’t we all just concede that bacon is delicious and never speak of it again? No? Fine. Whatever.

I already thought bacon milkshakes were a bit much, but never underestimate the power of bacon.
