HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® BACON DOESN’T FOLLOW THE BACON CRAZE, IT CREATES IT

Austin, Minn.
With progressive bacon creations including the invention of Canadian Bacon… in America, powering an epic motorcycle trip on bacon grease and launching the International Bacon Film Festival, the makers of HORMEL® BLACK LABEL®bacon continue to break new frontiers in both products and marketing, because that’s what category leaders do.
To continue to push bacon forward, the makers of HORMEL® BLACK LABEL®bacon are partnering with innovators in all fields including musician, actor and comedian Reggie Watts (@reggiewatts on Twitter and Instagram) in a first-of-its kind musical bacon creation: The Reggie Watts Bacon Experience.
The Reggie Watts Bacon Experience fuses Watts’ love of bacon with his genre-busting style to bring to life an innovative musical experience using the sounds of bacon.
“Like HORMEL® BLACK LABEL®bacon, Reggie Watts is always one step ahead of the industry, reimagining music, comedy and performance art to create his own unique brand of entertainment, which makes him the perfect partner to help us push bacon forward,” said Steve Venenga, Vice President of Marketing at Hormel Foods.
