If you could only eat Hot Pockets or Bacon for the rest of your life, which one would it be?

Bacon didn't just win this poll, it owned it — grabbing every vote on day one and settling into a 72-78% band it held for all 240 days. Of 2,685 votes cast, 1,963 went to Bacon, a 73.1% share that barely moved a percentage point in either direction across eight months of voting.

Hot Pockets never found an opening. It stayed a quarter-share afterthought the entire way, and the crowd backing it barely showed up: 40 men and 33 women picked Hot Pockets, dwarfed by Bacon's 121 men and 82 women. Even the poll's biggest market, the United States, broke for Bacon.

• Rock-solid margin · Bacon's lead never left the 72-78% band across 240 days
• Gender gap · Bacon out-drew Hot Pockets among both men and women 2-to-1
• No opening · Hot Pockets peaked with a single-day tie on day 1 and lost it instantly
