You know how we keep saying that “sriracha is the new bacon?” Well, over at Pringles, bacon is also the new bacon, as Pringles has introduced bacon-flavored chips to go along with the sriracha ones we told you about last week.

New And Exciting Products: Bacon Bowls Are What They Sound Like
By 7.24.13 — Updated: 9.19.14
Products sold in direct-response ads usually target a very specific problem, make consumers aware that they have the problem, and then present a product that solves that problem.

With Bacon And M&Ms, Resort Makes Couple Feel At Home

I love bacon. Maybe you do too, seeing as it’s a heavenly product descended from the gods of yore or ancient Greece or something, probably.
