Bacon has developed a strong following and fan base in the hearts of North Americans, so it should be no surprise that fast food giant Burger King has released the bacon sundae down in Nashville, Tennessee. It appears Burger King may have taken inspiration from Denny's maple bacon sundae, but their version appears to be topped with chocolate sauce and perhaps a butterscotch drizzle. T
he cool dessert is sprinkled with bacon bits and topped off with a crispy piece of perfectly cooked bacon. BK has also released a number of popular regional eats such as frozen lemonade and sweet potato fries in addition to this bacon-topped treat. Although no real-life images have surfaced, the sweet and savory sundae is an eye pleaser. Bacon connoisseurs (in Nashville at least) will be flocking to see if this tasty bite meets up to the promising advertisements.
