Get FREE Bacon with Anything on the Menu at McDonald’s First-Ever Bacon Hour
A Whole Hour to Get Bacon with Anything on the Menu—That’s Right—ANYTHING. One Day, One Hour Only, in Celebration of Bacon’s Arrival to Three Menu Classics
In celebration of bacon’s limited time arrival to the Classics – the Big Mac® Bacon burger, Quarter Pounder®* Bacon burger and Cheesy Bacon Fries – McDonald’s is makin’ bacon dreams come true by giving fans even more … you guessed it…bacon! On January 29, from 4:00-5:00 p.m. local time, McDonald’s is hosting a first-of-its-kind, nationwide bacon bash called Bacon Hour. For 60 minutes, customers will be able to get thick cut, Applewood smoked bacon with anything on the menu, at no additional cost. And is there anything better than free bacon? (Spoiler alert – there isn’t).
As if bacon on our three Classics wasn’t enough, now the whole McDonald’s menu is ready to be bacon’ized. Customers will be given two half pieces of bacon on the side with any purchase and can add it to whatever item they wish. It’s an ode to bacon. Filet-O-Fish® with bacon. Even a Hot Fudge Sundae with bacon. You name it…with bacon.
“When we said there’s no such thing as too much bacon, we weren’t kidding. January 29, we’ll be upping the bacon ante—the bac-ante, if you will—and celebrating this glorious food favorite like never before,” said Chef Michael Haracz, McDonald’s Manager of Culinary Innovation. “I love bacon. America loves bacon. I really can’t wait to see the crazy and daring combinations our customers put together.”
And with all this bacon, it begs the question: is bacon the best thing to happen to the classic Big Mac, fresh beef** Quarter Pounder and World Famous Fries® or are our Classics the best thing to ever happen to bacon? Let the debate begin.
But there’s no debating that McDonald’s food keeps getting more craveable and delicious - from fresh beef Quarter Pounder burgers, Buttermilk Crispy Tenders, café-quality espresso beverages like the McCafé Caramel Macchiato, Cappuccino and Americano, and not to mention the Classics with Bacon earlier this month.
TLDR: Bacon Hour. McDonald’s. One day, January 29. One hour, 4-5 p.m. (local time). At participating restaurants nationwide***. An hour long celebration of bacon’s arrival to the Classics where customers will be able to get FREE bacon on the side with anything on the menu.
Bacon Hour Lineup: Bacon Sundae, Bacon Big Mac, Bacon McNuggets, Bacon Filet O Fish, Bacon McFlurry
*Weight before cooking 4oz.

\"When you're working to build a community around your brand/company/product, put the right person in charge. Don't pick the person with the most time on their hands or the most senior executive. Pick the person who has the most passion about starting a relationship with your customers. You'll be able to spot her because she uses the word customer in most of her conversations."
Co-author Josh Bernoff reflects on the book ten years after it's release here.

I AM WHAT I MAKE UP
Covergirl ditched their Easy Breezy Beautiful slogan and I LOVE their new one - You are what you make up.

We made the women of our campaign our subjects, not just objects.
Philosophically (and grammatically), our new tagline wasn’t a description but a statement, a redirection of the typical beauty-marketing focus that, in turn, positioned COVERGIRL products as tools of self-expression.
