The iconic meat brand teams up with Ryan Reynolds-owned Mint Mobile and businesses in cities nationwide to offer a side of bacon with holiday purchases

CHICAGO & PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While many agree that everything is better served with bacon, not everything in life comes with a side of the tasty fare – until now. Today, Oscar Mayer, the brand with a legacy of uniting millions around a love of meat, debuts its new “A Side of Bacon” campaign nationwide alongside Ryan Reynolds-owned Mint Mobile - one of the fastest growing brands in America.1 Together with a variety of additional businesses in major cities, Oscar Mayer is offering a side of bacon with many unexpected purchases, proving that stressful holiday shopping can be made better with seriously delicious meats.

To kick off the campaign, Oscar Mayer joins forces with Mint Mobile, a brand known for continued creativity and disruption, to provide an exclusive and delightfully unexpected deal for fans. Right now, new customers who purchase any 3-month Mint Mobile plan will get an additional 3-months of premium wireless service free, plus a coupon for a free side of Oscar Mayer bacon by visiting www.mintmobile.com/bacon.

“We believe – and know bacon lovers everywhere agree – that bacon makes everything better. However, not everything comes with bacon,” said Kelsey Rice, Associate Director, Oscar Mayer. “As a brand with a history of sparking smiles in unexpected ways, like our beloved 27-foot hot dog on wheels, we challenged ourselves to make this possible… showing to the masses Oscar Mayer bacon truly makes everything better!”

“A Side of Bacon” is the latest extension of Oscar Mayer’s “Keep It Oscar” platform, rooted in bringing levity to the everyday for fans, especially when things get too serious.
