A 105-year-old woman who loves bacon has gone viral. Pearl Cantrell, apparently eats bacon for every meal, and even tries to convince her family and friends to eat more.<\/p>\n
Naturally, Oscar Mayer saw an opportunity to use her as something of a mascot for its bacon products, and gave her a ride in the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile. From WIVB.com<\/a>: <\/p>\n “We’ve seen a lot of stories on the road, but nothing quite like this one. So we’re excited to be here,\u201d said Abraham Luna, a \u201chotdogger\u201d for Oscar Mayer. \u201cWe know she’s an inspiration. Pearl is an inspiration for the community and her friends and family.”<\/p>\n Hitting the streets of her hometown of Richland Springs, Pearl is riding \u201cshot-bun\u201d in the Wienermobile, waiving to several generations of people that she’s seen grow up throughout the years. I’m not sure what weiners have to do with bacon, but anything for the brand, I guess. Oscar Mayer has of course been hitting social media promoting the whole thing: <\/p>\n The @wienermobile<\/a> visited 105 year-old Pearl Cantrell to find out her secret to a long life. Her answer? #Bacon<\/a>! bit.ly\/10i9g4M<\/a><\/p>\n — Oscar Mayer (@oscarmayer) May 6, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
