Tender Belly Bacon
Audio By Carbonatix
Last week, as the TikTok ban loomed, we spent a little extra time scrolling. Amidst updates from Spencer Pratt and his wife, Crested Butte native Heidi Montag, as her fifteen-year-old album topped the charts following the loss of their Pacific Palisades home, we stumbled upon a tasty offer.
On Friday, January 17, local company Tender Belly posted a video on TikTok and Instagram. “All right, time for a little fun,” says co-founder Shannon Duffy. “We have a big garage door in our office here. For a limited amount of time, we’re going to throw bacon to anybody that goes down there and yells, ‘Hey, throw us some Tender Belly bacon.” The team has also installed a “bacon bell” on a pole near the office in case the garage door is closed because of the cold temps.
The company had a few takers before it shut down the giveaway for the weekend. But like TikTok itself, the offer is back on from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, January 20, through Thursday, January 23 (or until they’re “done with the fun”).
“If you come when we aren’t here, take a selfie out front, DM us and we’ll send you some TB Bucks to cash in for free bacon,” notes the latest update.
Today is the last day of our summer campaign, and we’re just $450 away from our goal!
We’re ready to deliver—but we need the resources to do it right. If Denver WestWord matters to you,
please take action and contribute today to help us expand our current events coverage when it’s needed most.
We don’t want to ruin the scavenger hunt-style appeal of this offer so we won’t share the exact address here, but Duffy does note that it’s in the “Taxi region.”
