National Bacon Day
September 2
Bacon is a very popular food in the USA. In 2020, over half of the U.S. population said they used a pound or more bacon that year. You can also find many items flavored or scented with bacon, including popcorn, soap, candles, air fresheners, and much more. While these uses fit right into the day, we suggest cooking with bacon.
Origin: National Bacon Day was created in 1997 by Danya “D” Goodman and Meff “Human Cannonball” Leonard as a way to celebrate bacon and take a break from traditional winter holidays.
