While the expression "less is more" certainly holds true in regards to bacon flavoring (with real bacon "more is more") I feel that manufacturers are holding it a little too close to their hearts. Without reading the package you would be hard pressed to identify any bacon at all. They are a little darker than the regular Oscar Mayer hotdogs, as if they had been hanging out at the tanning salon, the only real taste difference is the smoke flavor. The smoke flavor does distinguish itself nicely, but considering that these are hotdogs, the quintessential grilling food, I don't see much call for it. Let's not forget this is Oscar Mayer here, they actually sell bacon, it wouldn't have been anything for them to put in some precooked bacon chunks in or even perhaps a vein of ground bacon inside like they do with their cheese dogs. In fact why hold back at all? They should have made bacon cheese dogs in the first place and not done these in half measures.
