Is National Bacon Lover’s Day the same day as National Bacon Day?

The day to recognize the existence of this meaty delight is not to be confused with National Bacon Lover’s Day on August 20. The purpose of National Bacon Lover’s Day is to honor the history of bacon in the fabric of Western culture and human history, really. 

Whether you prefer sweet, salty or peppery, there’s a unique combination ready to be discovered, such as chocolate-covered bacon. 

History of National Bacon Day

Bacon is special because it is an indulgence as much as it is a conversation-starter. The love of it is common ground in any social setting, and thus, it makes sense that the history of National Bacon Day is thanks to Danya “D” Goodman and Meff “Human Cannonball” Leonard creating a bonding moment for everyone in 1997.
