Really? Bacon on a sundae? Who comes up with these food items? I guess ice cream and chocolate and caramel sauce are not fattening enough. Besides the issue of fat, what about the taste? Also, it is just wrong--mixing cow with pig.

The New Yorker's Rachel Arons writes about the sundae in her article "Why Does Fancy Food Make Us Mad?" She notes the current trend of fast food restaurants creating more upscale offerings and comments on their acceptance, but mostly lack of acceptance, by the public.
