Please notice that I didn't say "bacon;" I said "the bacon craze." I don't have a problem with bacon - who could turn down a yummy salty breakfast meat - but the fact that it's a movement is uncomfortable. It's like when Justin Bieber became a thing - it seems harmless enough then makes you want to kill yourself after 3 days.
I can maybe understand all the baconfests. Having just had Thanksgiving I understand wanting to send yourself to the hospital in one meal. I even understand bacon in chocolate bars because we all love the salty-sweet deliciousness. But when they invented bacon lip balm and bacon tablets to flavor water, I felt they went too far. I don't know who "they" are, but they should have stopped.
What is left to flavor with bacon?? Honestly, nothing. Please let bacon flavor stop being a thing.

Jeggings
This week I saw a dog dressed as a turkey and a "dating" website to help one find a mother/father to create a child. So after many weeks, I was fed up enough to create a list of things that make me sad they're a thing.
The first thing I'm sad is a thing: "jeggings."
I hate when people make cutesy names by combining words (remember "Bennifer" in the early 2000's? That started it). But this is even worse than the name because you're combining jeans with leggings. I remember once when that happened in the early '90's when I also had huge green glasses and wore a men's tie. Anything that was inspired by the early '90's should not be revisited. I'm also sad that I have to point that out.
Leggings in general are not a good thing, unless maybe you're in the gym. But I think mostly the people I've seen wearing these on the El, on the street, or IN THE OFFICE have no business wearing them. Usually those are black, though. When you make them light denim-colored, though, you much more easily see that stuff that grows on people. For the love of all that is good, please stop.
