Marriage = One Man + Bacon

When I first saw this commercial, I laughed so hard I cried.
The more I see it, however, the more I wonder whether it's meant as some sort of subliminal social commentary. First two men, then three men, then a man and bacon. What are the outer limits of absurdity?

Well there is more than just bacon here. I see lettuce, fake cheese, ground beef, sesame seed bun, tomato...this is a very polyamorous relationship. Sadly I here these end tragically...

Really, it's just a play on "if you love bacon so much, why don't you marry it?"

I can't add anything to this.

Re: Marriage = One Man + Bacon
If I remember my algebra aright:
M + W = Marriage
M + M = Marriage
M + 2W = Marriage
only works if M = 0, W = 0, and Marriage = 0. But I can't be bothered to go back to high school to check my conclusion.

Well, I'm one of the few people on the planet who hates bacon, so I don't get it.
Re: Marriage = One Man + Bacon
Love it.
But serious question here: what is to be done with all the hot liquid fat in the pan after the bacon's done cooking?
Not knowing what to do with it keeps me from cooking bacon as often as I otherwise might.

That's what you cook the eggs in. Or, you can allow it to cool and dispose of it as a solid. It's used frequently in cooking, or at least it was before we all started wanting to live forever.

No, make biodiesel. You'll just need about 250 lbs of bacon to get a gallon of biodiesel.

This is why I hate social nihilists. If they weren't around, no one would ask a question like this. After all, gay marriage was originally the idea of socially conservative gay men, and only got picked up by the anti-family nihilistic left later on.
This is also why the administrative state sucks so much; voters are paranoid about nihilism precisely because they know, deep down, that nihilists can gain power without voter consent. Even if they vote for pro-family politicians, the bureaucrats can still push an anti-family agenda if they so choose.

Works great unless you live somewhere other than Florida or SoCal.

Pour it into a heat-resistant container and let it cool.
You can either store your cooled schmaltz well wrapped in the fridge and use it in place of oil or butter to fry eggs, saute veggies, etc, or you can keep a sealable container for old grease under the sink and simply throw it out when it gets full.
We do both in our house, depending. Bacon fat is slow to go rancid, so it's easy to save for later use. But there's only so much I ever get around to using.
If you have a cookie recipe that calls for Crisco, you could consider saving up enough bacon fat to substitute for the Crisco. Some people really like bacony desserts. (I make a mean bacon-cinnamon sponge cake, myself.)

PS: If you have to dispose of grease down a drain, emulsify it with a substantial quantity of dish soap first.

Re: Marriage = One Man + Bacon
There are many uses for bacon grease, to which the King Prawn referred! It's great in buttermilk pancakes, to perk up chicken liver pate (I share recipes), to make pasta carbonara.
Its uses can be varied enough that it reminds me of the old SNL skit: dessert topping or floor wax?

Even with soap, you should never pour meat fat down the drain. Unless you have plumber in the family.
