Would you try Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon? It combines two breakfast favorites, but are they better off separate? Or together?

Cinnamon Toast Crunch-flavored bacon is a new viral trend. Some are saying it’s the perfect way to start the morning. Others are saying that the sum of the parts are greater than the sum of the whole. Have you tried it or would you be willing to try Cinnamon Toast Crunch bacon?

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon Goes Viral

Sometimes the greatest combinations were right under our nose the whole time. Other times, it was worth trying but not worth trying again. That’s the risk you take when you try to combine foods. You might have the next Peanut Butter and Jelly or it could end being widely disliked like the Sour Patch Kids Oreos. That did not go according to plan it sounds like.

According to BroBible, it sounds like Hormel is getting ready to launch strips of bacon covered in what’s described as “Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust.” If they pull it off, it could be amazing. However, if it doesn’t go to plan, it could end up tasting fake and nothing like what it set out to be. That’s the thinhg with these types of experiments, you’ve got to get it right. If it tastes like off-brand Cinnamon Toast Crunch, then it’s not going to work. Same with the bacon. If it’s not quality and comes off as cheap people are going to notice. Nobody likes it when you mess with their breakfast food.

It seems to have the internet divided (as many things do). Some are asking if it was really necessary to create something like this, others can’t wait to get their hands on it, and some are pointing out that you could probably make this at home with your favorite bacon instead of going with whatever HOrmel rolls out. Some nice thick cut bacon could be a game changer, but to each their own.

Do you think you’d try it? I’m thinking it’s worth a shot but I’m nervous. People try all sorts of funky bacon combinations all the time and it never ends up beating the original. There’ the pepper bacon and maple bacon and different styles of smoked bacon–but it always comes back to the OG. Don’t fix what isn’t broken, they say. It’s hard to mess with bacon. However, I’d give Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon a try. What say you?

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Fictional Foods From Movies And TV That Look Delicious

Have you ever seen fictional foods from movies and TV that actually end up looking delicious? Chances are you have encountered this at some point!

You expect food on shows like Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and Beat Bobby Flay on The Food Network to be mouth watering. They are actual dishes made by professional chefs and attract a real-life crowd. However, you don’t expect to find delicious looking food in cartoons or comedy movies. Have you ever seen fictional foods from movies and TV that you really wish you could try?

Fictional Foods From Movies And TV That Look Good

It can’t be explained but there’s something about some food in movies and TV shows that leave you end up wanting to try it. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s hyped up on the show or movie and you get some FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Another possibility is how we always want what we can’t have. These foods only exist within that specific worth in the show or movie. We can’t go out and order it from DoorDash or pick it up from a local drive-thru. In the real world, we’ll never be able to try these foods. Could that be what makes them look so tasty?

This can happen in live action movies or even in cartoons and animated content. In fact, some of the best examples that will be featured below on the list of the best fictional foods from movies and TV are from animations. It might sound strange, but you’ll be able to relate once you see it. It could be nostalgia but you’ll be left wanting to try these delicious treats.

For this list we wanted to focus on food you can’t find out there in the real world. Even though we wish we could! Maybe next time we can get a list going of the best fictional beverages. A glass of Star Wars Blue Milk, anyone? Check out the list of 5 fictional foods from movie and TV shows that look like they’d be good below! Are we missing any? Let us know!

  • Krabby Patty from "Spongebob"

    When I think about animated food that looks delicious the Krabby Patty is one of the first things to come to mind. It’s simple but there’s something about it. I see one and I turn into Plankton with my desire to obtain a delicious Krabby Patty. I’m surprised they haven’t opened Krusty Krab locations in real life. You could have the Krabby Patty, the Krusty Krab Pizza, there are so many possibilities! Let’s get it going!

  • Pizza from "A Goofy Movie"

    If you remember this movie, you remember that pizza. It was so cheesy it looked so good! The way it melted and pulls from the base–it’s truly mouthwatering. Few examples look better than that pizza. There’s something about that movie where even the Cheese Whiz looks good. Or is there just something about the timing of when I watch that movie? It always looks so good.

  • Ratatouille from "Ratatouille"

    Sure, it’s animated. However, nearly every dish featured in the movie looks tasty. The animation department really did their job. It’s set in Paris so there’s already pressure for the food to look like the best in the world–and they delivered. Even though most of the food featured in the movie looks good, none look better than the Ratatouille. Mmm.

  • Ed's Special Sauce from "Good Burger"

    What is in the sauce? What’s the secret? I always assumed it was just like Mac Sauce from McDonald’s. Maybe it’s more like Animal Sauce from In N Out? We know it has ketchup and lemon juice and tastes like lemonade and BBQ sauce because Ed says so in the movie, per Mama Plus One. However, we don’t know much more than that! I suppose that description would mean it is not like Mac Sauce so now I’m at a loss. It looked dangerously good in the movie from the reactions it got and I want some!

  • Scooby Snacks from "Scooby Doo"

    Are Scooby Snacks actually dog food? Does it matter? You can’t say part of you didn’t want to try them to see what all the fuss was about. Don’t act like you never tried dog biscuits just to see what they tasted like. They look really good in the shows and movies based on the reaction. Are they “special” treats? They could be! Okay, if you don’t want to try the Scooby Snacks then you can’t deny you want one of those mega sandwiches Shaggy and Scoob are always eating.
