# Porcine Candy Pops The Bacon Lollipop Gives You the Bacon Experience By Carly Foy | Published 2011-05-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-lollipop References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/food/hide-your-bacon-addiction-with-the-bacon-lollipop/) & [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/bacon/e781/) The Bacon Lollipop is the latest bacon-inspired product to take on the task of emulating the pork's smoky goodness. The lollipop is designed to help you "hide your [bacon addiction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-bacon)" and continue to satisfy your salty cravings. The lollipop itself does not resemble bacon at all. Instead, it looks like a giant swirled, delicious-looking red-and-white sucker. According to the makers at ThinkGeek, the Bacon Lollipop was conceived because "we're thinking about candy a lot. But we're also getting a craving for breakfast. Time to combine [candy and breakfast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-crunch-bacon) in perfect harmony." This [smoky swine sucker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-lollipop) is perfect for any carnivorous human who wants to taste that perfect flavor without having to pull out pans and cook some strips up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Bacon-inspired Products:** Opportunity for businesses to create innovative and unique bacon-flavored products. - **Combining Unlikely Flavors:** Exploring the potential of blending different flavor profiles to create unique and unexpected food products. - **Convenience and Snacking:** Creating convenient and portable snack options that cater to people's cravings and indulgences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Expanding product lines and exploring new flavors and combinations can disrupt the traditional food industry. - **Candy and Confectionery:** Introducing unconventional flavors and ingredients into the candy market can attract new consumers and drive innovation. - **Gifts and Novelty Items:** Creating unique and fun products like bacon lollipops can capture the attention of gift shoppers and novelty enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jumbo Gummy Bear Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nassau-candy.md) - [Oversized Gummy Bear Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clever-candy-big-bear-pop.md) - [Pig-Themed Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-pigs.md) - [Candied Bacon QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-candied-bacon.md) - [Cider-Flavored Bacon Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-apple-cider-bacon.md) - [Craft Cocktail Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-cocktail-lollipop.md) - [Grab-And-Go Hickory Bacon Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vermont-smoke-cure1.md) - [Flavor-Packed Bacon Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pork-clouds.md) - [Lollipop-Flavored Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lolly-poppin-chupa-chups-popcorn.md)
