Bacon?

[Doc Dan]

I asked this same question when they first gave us that option. I didn't get much as far as an answer except that bacon is really good. If you use the bacon emoji then you really like something or think it is the best. That, at least, is what I've come to think of it as saying. I'm a lot older than all these youngsters so I might be misinterpreting.

What the hell does the Bacon emoji that I see on posts actually mean?

It's really very easy to remember this way: bacon = yummy!

Hey @Goblin, you've asked the question that I suspect many of us wanted to ask but maybe felt too stupid to ask...at least I did!

I came to the conclusion that bacon is "hot" and "sizzles", so if a post was a hot take I would use the bacon emoji.

Of course, there is always @lasta who uses the troll emoji to give out hugs. I found it a bit discombobulating the first time he used it on one of my posts but just rolled with it until I saw his explanation weeks later.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for someone to add the ARKO! Man emoji while there are a few days left to use it appropriately!

Yes it can be a bit divisive. Some people might take slight to having a troll attached to there posts, but bacon makes everything alright!

If only the troll emoji were eating bacon...that would surely equate to a hug!

I'm just here to hand out bacon emojis. Carry on.

There are some on this forum who might take offense at the bacon emoji for religious reasons. I'm not saying they would, but it is a possibility. So, there's that.

Well, you can't satisfy everyone! Both bacon and spam are pork based...

In some places in the world, shaving is considered unfaithful!

Never take a fence when there's a gate open you can go through.

I challenge anyone to find a more delicious pairing than bacon, eggs over easy, pancake, maple syrup, and hash browns.

Forum protip: the bacon emoji means bacon.

Sausage!
Now I'm gonna have to request a sausage emoji

You have my vote on that one. If you are what you eat, I'd be a sausage.

Not me. My butcher stocks special halal bacon just for me. He charges me 50% more but I realise that it is a rare commodity so don't mind paying.

I feel you man.

I used to visit Bahrain 2-3 times a year. My butcher stocks real bacon (in the back room) just for me...and charges 3x the price!

The only thing I can think of would be bacon, eggs over easy, pancake, maple syrup, hash browns and bacon.

I feel like this is the only semi-appropriate place for dumb, boomer questions about internet stuff. So, I will come straight out with it:

What the hell does the Bacon emoji that I see on posts actually mean?

Emojipedia is no help on this:

"Strips of crispy, fatty, reddish-brown bacon, as fried for breakfast. Depicted as a pair on most platforms."

So in other words, bacon means bacon.

Seriously, help a boomer older Gen-Xer out!

Bacon is the most delicious, flawless item on the face of the earth. There is nothing that cannot be made better by the addition of bacon. As the isolated, single example of true perfection in the existence of mankind, the bacon emoji symbolizes what you believe to be a perfect or near perfect post.

An alternative meaning for the bacon emoji is:
I have bacon.
I had bacon.
I want bacon.
I love bacon.
I'm thinking of bacon.
Do you have any bacon?

Mr. Allen Benton. Owner of Benton's Smokehouse in Madisonville, TN. Quite possibly the BEST bacon and hams east of the Mississippi. Probably west as well.
Featured on a Guy Fieri show a short time back (we Tennesseans knew of
Benton's bacon a long time before that though), this guy knows his stuff.

Bacon is sweet, salty, and savory. It goes with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. It makes everything better.

I like to put Spam in my bacon baps. Doesn't cheapen the taste, enhances it really!

Bacon needs to be hickory smoked. Over here, there is no hickory. I can get bacon, but it's not worth eating.

And it's skin food.

I'm thinkin' about starting the What's Shakin', Bacon? Soap Company. Our goal: bacon in every bowl.

If Stirling Sheep ain't buttery enough, have we got the soap for you: bacon up, Buttercup, mutton ain't nuthin'.

Be sure to try our new Oh My Lard soap base.

It ain't easy being greasy.
