What's the Obsession With Bacon?

OK, seriously. I don't get it. What's the big obsession with bacon? I get that it tastes good. But why do we need bacon bandaids. Or bacon lip balm. Or bacon in chocolate. Or this bacon twist on an ice cream cone:

the Bacone: three strips of bacon deep fried to make a cone shape, filled with a mixture of scrambled eggs, hash browns and cheese, and topped with biscuits and country gravy.

The rest of that stuff makes this Bacon Makes Everything Better shirt look relatively, well, tame. Maybe I'm reading the wrong blogs.
