Move Over Bacon... What Happened to Sizzlean? (1 Viewer)

[Koya]

For some inexplicable reason, middle of an internal meeting at work, "Move Over Bacon... It's Time for Something MEATIER!!!" takes over my thoughts. All consuming.

WTF ever happened to Sizzlean?

 

[Vike Me]

I'll look into it.

Saw this today. http://www.amazon.com/Musicophilia-Tales-Revised-Expanded-Edition/dp/1400033535

As for Sizzlean, who knows? It was a great slogan, though. I remember it.

They stopped selling it about 10 years ago. Made from the pork shoulder instead of the belly. You can still buy beef bacon that is leaner than regular bacon or you can just fry strips of pork shoulder but no more Sizzlean.

Beef bacon is just not right. Yuck.

Mmm, you can really taste the automobile upholstery!

I vaguely remember that it was also supposed to microwave better than bacon, which was a selling point as microwave ovens were just becoming a staple of kitchens and the less likelihood of error in cooking would have made it an attractive alternative.

I always liked Sizzlean. Great question.

 

[Das Boot]

Same bunch of do gooders that put Soylent Green out of business, I believe.

 

[mr roboto]

Huh never had it. But it is funny to see the vilification of F-A-T FAT!

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Reminds me of the scene from Super Troopers :

"Sorry, I don't date highway hog."

"Baby, I'm sizzlean!"

The acting in this commercial makes the acting in pron look Oscar-worthy.

 

[pantagrapher]

Don't sizzle fat. Sizzlean.

But the fat is part of the good stuff.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Bacon refused to move over.

 

[encaitar]

Bacon refused to move over.

Thank God

 

[zamboni]

If nothing else, Sizzlean will always be one degree of separation from bacon.

 

[Joe Summer]

Bacon got cheaper, that's what happened.
