Why Isn’t Bacon Resealable? TikToker Goes Viral And I Agree

Author Debbie Nance

It’s the little things in life that tend to bring on the biggest debate sometimes.  And, all this time I thought I was alone in my pondering of the bacon packaging.  Why isn’t bacon resealable?  The frustration is real.  Depending on the size of your family, most people won’t cook up an entire package of bacon upon opening it.  So, wouldn’t it make sense for the bacon folks to simply put the bacon in one of those packages with the zipper?  According to Today.com, a TikTok user went viral bringing up the same point I’ve wondered in silence for years.  Like me, she says after opening and cooking a few slices she needs to place it in a separate zip bag.  Otherwise, after storage in the fridge, it dries out.  Obviously, there is a recommended safe span of time to store it once it’s open before needing to toss it out.  But, for those few days who wants an open pack of half used bacon?

TikToker Kat Thomas proclaims, “bacon packaging is the worst thing to ever exist!”  Of course, even though it’s meant for fun she does bring up a valid point.  Why isn’t bacon resealable?   People just like me all over support the point she raises.  And, some of them even jokingly pondered if the zip bag people and the bacon people were in “cahoots.”  LOL.  She pointed out that hot dogs come with the zip bag, so why not bacon?  While Thomas’ pack was Oscar Mayer, another bacon maker, Applegate, issued a statement.  They say consumers typically use their 8 oz. packages in one session.  However, it’s a topic they consider in “expanding their bacon portfolio.”  But, in the meantime I finally feel heard and seen thanks to Thomas’ viral rant…wink wink.

Top 10 Places For Best Hot Dogs In Charlotte

Today is National Hot Dog Day! The hot dog is considered by many the classic, All-American meal.

And the ways to make a hot dog vary. For example, some like me,  prefer hot dogs grilled or toasted over a fire. They can be boiled, pan-fried, and even cooked in a rotisserie. The key to a great hot dog, of course, is the toppings. How do you like yours served?  Less is more for me. I like to keep it basic, ketchup, mustard, chili, and cole slaw. But I’ve seen some top hot dogs with relish, onions, mayonnaise, cheese, bacon, chili, and sauerkraut.

Here are some interesting facts about America’s summertime favorite food from National Day Calendar.

  • Over 25 million hot dogs are sold at baseball stadiums each year
  • A world record was set in May 2012 for the most expensive hot dog. The “California Capitol City Dawg” sold for $145.49 at Capitol Dawg
  • 7-Eleven sells the most grilled hot dogs in North America – 100 million annually

And to help celebrate National Hot Dog Day, I’ve put together the top 10 places in Charlotte that serve the best hot dog.
