For many, the Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer. For others, it's a time to celebrate sweet delicious bacon! International Bacon Day is celebrated on the Saturday before Labor Day. In 2009, International Bacon Day falls on September 5.
So how does one celebrate International Bacon Day. The official International Bacon Day blog suggests eating bacon for breakfast, a BLT for lunch, and throwing a little bacon on the grill for dinner. In between feedings, you can sit down and watch Kevin Bacon movies as you digest all that delicious fat and grease. Perhaps you can decorate the house in Bacon decorations bacon pillows. You can even write down your thoughts about bacon in this lovely What Would Bacon Do? binder.
You could also attend International Bacon Day parties popping up around North America
International Bacon Day is the culmination of the bacon internet meme. No one's quite sure Bacon Mania started, but bacon has become as popular among the denizens of the Internet as cute cats and wolves on t-shirts.
How exactly did this whole bacon meme start. The folks at Ask Metafilter have a few theories as does Salon, who suggests that bacon is the perfect blend of kitsch, irony, and smoky flavored goodness.
Whatever it is, be sure to get out there and make the most of International Bacon Day. Have yourself a few slices and wash it down with a Diet Coke with Bacon.

“Perfect blend of kitsch, irony”
Use of the Yiddish word kitsch in regards to bacon is irony enough.
