About the event
National Bacon Lovers Day, celebrated on August 20th, honors the love and appreciation for bacon in all its forms.
This delicious day�??s history is tied to the internet and social media, which played a significant role in its creation and popularity.
The official celebration of National Bacon Lovers Day started in 2015. Social media buzz and viral content, especially a famous video featuring a bacon-wrapped grilled cheese sandwich, sparked widespread interest and love for bacon.
This digital enthusiasm led to the establishment of the day as a time for bacon fans to indulge in their favorite dishes and share their love for bacon online�??�??.
Bacon itself has a long history, dating back to ancient times. The Chinese began salting pork bellies as early as 1500 BCE, which is considered the earliest form of bacon. The Romans also enjoyed a type of bacon called �??petaso,�?� which they prepared by boiling and seasoning�??.
In the United States, bacon�??s popularity soared in the 1920s when pre-sliced, packaged bacon became available, making it a household staple. This innovation was largely thanks to Oscar Mayer, who patented the first packaged sliced bacon, revolutionizing its availability and convenience.
