Bacon seems to be undergoing some bizarre cultural renaissance lately. How else can you explain bizarro products like bacon-flavored salt, bacon-flavored vodka, bacon-flavored mints and bacon-flavored diet coke? A quick Google search is bound to reveal countless other ways you can infuse bacon into your life. It's like we've all suddenly rebelled from all the 'healthy diet' rhetoric that's been flouted for years (rhetoric that few of us are paying any real attention to) and have embraced, once again, the notion of pork fat.
But have you SEEN this thing? That's Taco Bell's new Cheesy Bacon Potato Burrito. Available for a limited time only, they assure us… presumably because it will soon begin to kill off the unsuspsecting among us, those naive or clueless enough to think you can get away with eating one of these things without consequences.
I thought the thing was spectacular when I first heard the radio spots, but then I saw a TV ad and realized the magic that is the Cheesy Bacon Potato Burrito. It starts with bacon and beef (and they don't even feel the need to mention the beef in the name), adds in the aforementioned potato, MORE bacon, and tops it off with some creamy, Velveeta-y cheese sauce, wrapping it all up in a monstrous flour tortilla. This is a calorie-cholesterol-carbohydrate BOMB aimed straight at your arteries, and Taco Bell is pimping the hell out of this thing! (Just for fun, check out the nutrition data linked at the bottom of the page. Now THOSE are some kick-ass numbers!)
So dine on this monstrosity at your own risk. You can't say I didn't warn you.
