US: Ford Introduces First Bacon-Wrapped Car
In recent years Bacon has transformed from a food to a lifestyle, inspiring everything from medical supplies to plush toys. With International Bacon Day just around the corner, Ford has introduced a vehicle believed to be the first bacon-wrapped car, a 2014 Ford Fiesta. “In the 40 years I’ve been in this business, I’ve never seen so much interest in bacon,” said Allan Benton, CEO of Benton’s Country Hams. “It’s being used in bourbon, chocolate, ground beef, caramel corn and whatever else you can think of. This car just makes so much sense.”
The centerpiece is the full “Bacon Wrap” – 10 giant strips of delicious bacon rolled around the entire Fiesta for a carb-free ride. Benton, known as the King of Bacon among venerable food writers and chefs, personally approved the design, and has deemed the bacon-wrapped Fiesta good enough to eat – and drive.
Other options from the bacon-wrap Fiesta menu include:
- Bacon Racing Strips – two pieces of bacon that go on the car’s hood and resemble classic dual racing stripes.
- Side of Bacon – two individual strips of bacon that wrap over rear wheel – popular among those on a diet.
While the bacon-wrapped Fiesta has all the looks of luxury, it is incredibly efficient – with an EPA-estimated rating of up to 41 mpg on the highway. The bacon graphics are just a few custom exterior vinyl graphics Fiesta buyers can have installed on their ride to express their personalities.
