Baconnaise was satirized on the 25 February 2009 episode of ''[[The Daily Show]]'' with [[Jon Stewart]] as an example of Americans' laziness, although some{{who}} say the true meaning of the lampoon was to point out Americans' growing appetite for unhealthy foods, as bacon and mayonnaise are both widely believed to have some detrimental health effects. Stewart is pointing out the absurdity of combining two such unhealthy foods into one. He further made a mockery of it by dipping a [[Jimmy Dean (brand)|Jimmy Dean]] brand Blueberry Pancake & Sausage On A Stick in the baconnaise and then spitting it out, remarking that it seemed as though, "his tongue took a 'shit'." |

History
Baconnaise was invented in 2008 by Dave Lefkow and Justin Esch, the same entrepreneurs who invented Bacon Salt.
The product is a noted example of a Web based product launch, marketing, and distribution, undertaken by individual inventors. Its inventors claim to rely on self-generated and customer-generated Web content, such as YouTube videos, for publicity. In October, 2008, the creators sponsored a no-holds barred wrestling match between a giant slice of bacon and a giant jar of mayonnaise that wrestle in a ring filled with 200 gallons of mayonnaise[3].
Jon Stewart satirized Baconnaise in his The Daily Show as an example of Americans' laziness: "for people who want heart disease but are too lazy to actually make the bacon."[4]
