Is Bacon Worship Still Coolamundo?

June 10, 2010 by Chris Durso

Bacon fanaticism appears poised and ready for its leather jacket and water skis. What was once cool, will soon find itself towed along by Richie Cunningham to its embarrassing, watery demise, i.e., jumping the shark.

In fact, even the inevitable bacon-worship backlash has jumped the shark. And yet, like a car accident that we can’t tear our gazes away from, we’re following The Great Bacon Odyssey. Just launched by Wired’s GeekDad blog, the Odyssey is a taste test series devoted to “unconventional” bacon products. First up: bacon jellybeans and a bacon-laced chocolate bar.

Perhaps it’s time for us to find a new food obsession? Might we suggest shark?

Did we just jump the shark by writing about jumping the shark? Was foodiggity ever cool in the first place?

    Bacon worship exists because people love bacon, and people who love bacon love to blog about their bacon obsession. I’m not into bacon with everything or on everything… but even if it jumps the shark I will continue to eat bacon and eventually it will become hip again. or not. Who cares? it tastes good.
