This Week in Bacon
Apparently Canadians are just as passionate about bacon as Argentinians (see fellow Crispy blogger Jessica’s post below). Here are some of the results from a survey of 1,006 Canadians, commissioned by Maple Leaf Foods (which, shockingly, packages and sells bacon):
Nearly one in four respondents (23 per cent) from Manitoba and Saskatchewan have wondered if “my partner loves bacon more than me;”
Asked to rank aromas (vanilla, spice, floral, musk) by preference, 23 per cent of men rated bacon No. 1;
Four out of five respondents (82 per cent) who said they love bacon also said they’re good lovers.
And perhaps most shockingly, 43% of Canadians say they “love bacon more than sex.” So this Valentine’s Day, forget the chocolate, candy, flowers, J. Crew Sweaters, and jewelry. Get your significant other something s/he will really appreciate – BACON. And here’s a suggestion for that extra special present for your extra special loved one: The Wine and Cheese Place’s Bacon Basket (includes “Bakon Vodka, Bacon Chocolate Bars, Bacon Bandages, Bacon Soap, Bacon Gummy Strips, Bacon Air Freshner and of course BACON”).
