Evidently our nation is hungry for more than a daily dose of gloom and doom. And there’s nothing like bacon to take your mind off of a sour economy, a dour war, and a generally overall glower.
So take 2 pounds of bacon, 2 pounds of sausage, a hint of dry rub, and a slathering of your favorite BBQ sauce, and what do you get? About 80,000 Google search results, international exposure for your little bacon web site, and a stressed out server barely able to handle the spike in global traffic.
Here’s just a sampling of the publicity blitz for this meat feast:
- NYTimes — The Bacon Explosion – Take Bacon. Add Sausage. Blog
-
U.S. News & World Report — Bacon Explosion: An Artery-Clogging Example Of Web 2.0 Strategies
- International Herald Tribune — Bacon explosion
- The Huffington Post — Bacon Explosion Recipe Sweeps The Internet
- The State — Bacon Explosion: Ultimate comfort food?
For the record, our office is torn. Half experiences chest pains just looking at it. The other half wipes the drool from their mouths.
