Bacon shortage vs. bacon cheeseburger giveaways

POSTED: Wednesday, September 26, 2012, 3:05 PM

By now you're all well aware of impending doom that is the purported bacon shortage. According to a report released by the British National Pig Association this dip in pork production is going to be a worldwide epidemic due to the soaring costs of pig feed. To combat this potentially disastrous situation you can certainly stock the freezer with pork bellies and applewood smoked bacon, follow breaking porcine happenings over at Save Our Bacon or head over to Wendy's (1101 Arch St.) on October 2nd to show your support for everyone's favorite cured pork product.

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. the generous folks at Wendy's will be giving away free Sons of the Baconator, that's two beef patties topped with four strips of bacon piled onto a buttered toasted bun. Oh, and that comes with a Frosty and the potential for bacon-themed t-shirts and gift cards.

Whether this bacon burger giveaway is going to help or hurt the bacon shortage remains to be seen but a free burger is a free burger, right? For more info check out Facebook.com/Baconator or @IAmBaconator on Twitter.
