The guys here say there’s no such thing as “too much” bacon, and with that, they’ve created the [biggest bacon burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jammin-bacon-hungrbuster). There are 400 strips of bacon that tower over the meat, and the bun, cheese and meat are all mixed with additional [bacon bits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-bacon-menu). It’s a bacon-infused party here that uses this meat to its ultimate limit. The bacon-loving boys topped off the Bacon Boss Burger with a homemade root beer and Jack Daniel’s barbecue sauce that drizzles all over the [giant burger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-arch). Altogether, it contains 100,000 calories and up to 9,000 grams of fat. To whoever manages to munch down this monstrous death-defying meal, be sure to finish off the wills and get insurance because it is bound to be fatal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Excessive Bacon Consumption:** There is a trend towards creating extreme bacon-infused meals with excessive amounts of bacon. - **Ultra-caloric Foods:** There is a trend of creating outrageously calorie-dense foods for novelty and challenge purposes. - **Death-defying Food Challenges:** There is a trend towards creating dangerously high-calorie food challenges that may have negative health effects. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** The fast food industry could capitalize on the trend of creating extreme bacon-infused meals and offer limited-time menu items that cater to the novelty-seeking consumer. - **Food Challenge Events:** Event organizers could create food challenge events centered around outrageously calorie-dense meals to attract thrill-seeking participants and spectators. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry could offer counseling or intervention services to individuals who may be prone to participating in dangerous food challenges or consuming excessively high-caloric meals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bacon-Infused Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-bacon-bash-meal.md) - [Hearty Bacon-Packed Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-lotta-bacon-burger-1.md) - [Cheesy Extra-Bacon Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-cheeseburger.md) - [Extra-Meaty Restaurant Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whole-lotta-bacon-burger.md) - [Indulgent Seasonal Celebration Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-2324-top.md) - [Mammoth Milestone-Celebrating Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/125-lb-fatburger.md) - [Piquant Bacon-Packed Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendys-blazin-baconator.md) - [Comforting Bacon-Themed Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-bacon-menu.md) - [Indulgent Halloween Burger Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-monster-burger.md)
