When people think of tissues, they usually think of Kleenex. Similarly, when they think of soda, Coca-Cola or Pepsi often come to mind. And when it comes to bacon, Hormel is the brand that typically comes to people's minds.

The Minnesota-founded company's bacon is one of the key reasons why Hormel is a global food brand that employs more than 20,000 people. They offer several types of bacon including maple, fully cooked, and thick cut. Recently, Hormel introduced a new bacon flavor, sparking considerable online attention and discussion.

The production of bacon has been an iconic part of Hormel Foods Corp. since the company’s very beginning, when George A. Hormel founded the company in Austin, Minnesota, 128 years ago, in 1891

The only thing midwesterns love more than bacon is ranch dressing. People use ranch on everything including fries, pizza, and sandwiches.

As a fan of chicken, bacon, and ranch sandwiches, I'm definitely going to give this a try the next time I make one.

If you want to try it you'll need to get some ASAP because it's only available for a limited time.
