Ten Years of Bacon Ipsum Giveaway
How It Started
June 3rd 2011. A silly idea popped into my head: “Why not make a lorem ipsum generator using all words of meat?” After some array randomizing and string concatenation, the initial functioning code was done.
A short time later, after purchasing the domain name and launching the site, I passed it along to my co-worker Sarah, who later designed our iconic pig logo.
After a few tweets, it started going viral a few days later, and the rest is history!
How It’s Going
