"undefined")‘s latest gimmick is a dating app to help bacon lovers meat one another. The puns are endless, as one of tag lines for this program, aptly dubbed _Sizzl_, is “giving new meaning to the term ‘bacon-wrapped dates.'”  Oscar Mayer The free iOS app allows users to create a profile that answers these questions: --- > “” --- The app uses GPS to find other app users locally or nationwide, and similar to the way Tinder works, users “like” photos they find smokin’ (we’re talking about bacon after all), and if both “like” each other’s profiles, they are directed to a messaging platform where they can get to know one another. The app will be available to download for six months. No word on whether the Wienermobile will provide transportation to first dates. ### See 15 Mouthwatering BBQ Photos  Smoked pork hot link with collard greens and mac and cheese at Jim 'N Nicks Bar-B-Q in Birmingham, Ala.
