Bacon vs. Sex: 43% Of Canadians Prefer The Pork

According to a survey conducted by Maple Leaf Foods Inc., when presented with the options of bacon and sex, 43% of Canadians say they'd opt for the bacon. And when asked to rank a series of aromas in order of preference, 23% of men ranked the smell of bacon first.

Other findings of questionable utility, according to Maple Leaf's survey:

When asked if they are good lovers, four out of five respondents (82%) who said they love bacon, also said they are good lovers. And when asked if they are romantic, four out of five respondents (81%) who said they love bacon also agreed they are romantic.

It should be noted that the survey was commissioned by Maple Leaf in conjunction with the release of their new "Reclosable Bacon" line, and the statistical methods and reliability of the poll are both undisclosed and unknown.

Take note that in 2008 Maple Leaf Foods was responsible for the Listeria outbreak that killed
22 people. The good news is that they took RESPONSIBILITY and compensated for those deaths.
Unlike many big corporations who would have denied they screwed up, Maple Leaf president and CEO Michael
McCain took full responsibility and made full disclosure. The processing plants were all shut down, total recall of all their products and a total sweep of the production lines.

I've been married to the same woman for nearly 32 years and I would still choose sex over bacon.

Make it a rib eye steak and I'd be scratching my head.

Take note this was conducted by a company that sells bacon.

Why does the photo show real bacon, rather than that stuff which Canadians call bacon?

You've obviously never enjoyed back-bacon.

I had to read the article. I couldn't tell from the title what the Canadians really prefer.

Nearly impossible to find good bacon in east Europe. I'd give up sex for a day in exchange for a kilo of bacon.

I don't understand why they even had to be asked. The answer is so obvious.

RANK the smell of sex. Now that's a good play on words. Personally I prefer makin' bacon to eating it.

Unfair survey question. We're talkin' bacon here.
