Product Review: Bacon Sundae

A lot of fanfare surrounded the release of Burger King's bacon sundae. Someone at work bought about 8 of them for some reason and had an extra one, so I decided to try one.

The bacon is not hot (obviously) and it's a little chewy and a little soggy, so the three big pieces that come on top don't taste all that great. Once you get past that there's smaller pieces of bacon, like bacon bits but real bacon, mixed with the vanilla ice cream which tastes great. It's a unique combination of sweet and salty but it goes together pretty well. Once you eat the bacon, and there isn't that much bacon, you are just enjoying vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate sauce at the bottom.





It tastes pretty good, and I would recommend trying it once. But after that you will probably never want to eat it again. You can have a better ice cream if you want ice cream, and you can have hot crispy bacon if you want bacon, so I really can't see eating this thing twice.

Very helpful review. I don't eat bacon but love the sweet and savory combination with other foods.

I think the temperature issue is key, like you said. Cold bacon just doesn't seem appealing.

I am definitely curious enough to try this at some point. Someone in my office got a box of goodies a few months back, which included bacon/chocolate cookies and brownies. They were basically amazing. The whole 'soggy' factor didn't exist since they were baked goods.
