    Free bacon? McDonald’s is ready to put bacon on everything

    Free bacon get your attention? McDonald’s gives guests the opportunity to decide what tastes better with bacon during Bacon Hour.

    What goes better with bacon? How about free bacon? McDonald’s is giving guests the chance to see what tastes better with some extra bacon. More importantly, that crispy, slightly sweet, salty and savory bacon won’t cost you a dime.

    On January 29, McDonald’s is celebrating Bacon Hour. From 4-5 p.m., local time at participating restaurants, “customers will be able to get FREE bacon on the side with anything on the menu.” This special promotion celebrates the new bacon menu items, Big Mac Bacon Burger, Quarter Pounder Bacon Burger and Cheesy Bacon Fries, that were announced earlier this month.

    Check out this video from McDonald’s that announces Bacon Hour.


    This video and Bacon Hour promotion begs the question, what will you put your bacon on? Of course, a burger is an obvious choice. Other menu items could be much more flavor adventurous.

    In the video, the McFlurry and even a sundae are suggested. These ideas sound yummy. If you haven’t had bacon and chocolate or bacon and ice cream combination, your taste buds are missing out. The sweet and savory option is delicious. While I wouldn’t necessarily recommend dipping that bacon in the frozen treats, a bacon crumble would be a great choice.

    Since this Bacon Hour promotion celebrates the new Bacon Menu, a great choice could be to get a chocolate milkshake and cheesy bacon fries with a side of bacon. Who doesn’t love dipping fries into a milkshake? With the extra bacon, the experience is quite mind blowing. Don’t judge until you have tried it.

    It will be curious to see how many slices of bacon are served during this Bacon Hour promotion. Many people are infatuated with bacon. This special promotion should bring out bacon fans in large numbers.

    Denny's featured a bacon-centric menu a few years ago.

    I haven’t eaten at or supported McDonalds in several years. Don’t let the minions eat there either. There is much better fast food if we go that way.

    Bacon is more timeless than the wheel.

    I'll admit I really don't know. I just assumed, but best case it's precooked, which tastes pretty fake to me I think because of whatever extra preservatives and stuff they have to put in to do it.

    A couple of thoughts:

    I do like their mega sandwiches, onion rings, bacon, chile sauce, hamburgers, however, it is kinda funny that in the health conscious era where they are posting calories that they decided to calorie bomb their burgers as an almost f'u to all of that.

    Second, I learned today that bread can be made from ice cream blended with flour. Bake and you get bread. WTF! but cool.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's that thin, extra crispy, precooked crap.

    if people are planning their January 29th around this, then that's just sad.

    Bacon is very healthy and keto. No sugar, no carbs and still remain in ketosis

    Seriously. Took McDonald's marketing department WAY to long to roll this out.

    I wouldn't considered it healthy. Just because it doesn't make you fat, doesn't mean it's healthy for you. It's still processed meat with lots of sodium and nitrates.
