Another sign of bacon's popularity: clogged drains

Wednesday, August 10, 2011

CBC News reported in April that city workers found that sewage pipes in the Ridgevale Drive subdivision in Bedford, N.S., were clogged with bacon grease after sewage backed up into area houses.

According to CBC, Bedford Councillor Tim Outhit said grease buildup in sewers is common around restaurants, but not in residential areas.

This takes us back to a survey that Maple Leaf Foods commissioned in 2010, connected to the launch of a new reclosable bacon package.

The survey found that three out of four respondents said they loved bacon. One out of four respondents on the Prairies thought that maybe their partners loved bacon "more than me."

In British Columbia, 50 per cent said they would give up sex before they would give up bacon. (Only 37 per cent agreed with that in Quebec.)

Maple Leaf's survey didn't mention Nova Scotia, nor the Maritimes for that matter. BP
