Do y’all remember when the concept of bacon was the biggest meme in the world? 2012 was truly a time to be alive: A time when memes were so simple that a popular food could dominate the landscape of popular memes for over a year. Now don’t get me wrong, I like bacon. It’s the only meat that I would miss if I followed the dietary restrictions put forth by the Old Testament. That being said, even as a meme-obsessed teen, I found the bacon thing to be a bit much. 

The bacon meme extended far beyond the ethers of the worldwide web. Bacon was overly commercialized by some entity unknown to man, and it’s hard to exaggerate how omnipresent it was. The bacon lovers of the world were no longer deprived, as chapstick and novelty sodas and socks and every possible merchandisable item depicting their favorite food hit the shelves. Unfortunately for the bacon fans, this era of memes is long dead. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t dozens of food memes for them to enjoy in the following list!
