Okay, does anyone else have a brain like mine? I was 8 years old when this commercial was made. I was just sitting down talking to my mom today and out of nowhere "move over bacon" came into my head, so I researched and found this video. I seriously have no idea why my brain holds on to things like this that should have decluttered decades ago into the "who cares?" file.
I myself was 10 y/o at the time this commercial came out. One of the most sacrilegious advert slogans EVER! Anybody who tells bacon to “Move over”’ needs to shut their filthy whore mouth! To paraphrase Patrick Swayze in “Dirty Dancing, “NOBODY tells back to move over!”
Hell, I just got into bed and said "move over dog" to my dog and immediately into my brain popped "move over bacon". It thought about the phrase for about 10 seconds then sizzlean came to my mind....and now here I am
Oh this brings back memories of childhood, when I'd eat a whole pack of this stuff. I wish they still made it, but from what I read, it ceased production in the early 1990's.
My family ate Sizzlean back in the 80's, an d I sure liked it. Eventually, it was revealed that it wasn't nearly as lean as advertised. The name changed to "Sizzling" for a time in the 90's, before disappearing for good.
I found the Sizzlelean commercial. My staff did not know what Sizzlelean was. I said to them "Move over bacon. It's Sizzlelean" And they looked at me puzzled as usual. Here it is. A bit of your child hood. You will laugh your *(_* off.
Growin' up, I remember the commercials but I cannot remember eating it. But u'no, in the present day comes something better - turkey bacon! Yummy! I ain't lying; turkey bacon is the best thing 4 me 2 eat at breakfast since dry Cheerios from the box!
I finally got to show this commercial to my kids. When I need them to move,I always say, "Move over bacon, it's time for Sizzlean!" By the way, I used to love the taste of Sizzlean. My mom would buy it, and I thought it was delicious. Too bad it's gone....
This is why we have the obesity epidemic that we have now; people were brainwashed into believing that fat was the enemy (a study funded by sugar companies in the 60's and 70's are to blame) and that artificial fats (hydrogenated oils) seed oils, sugar and processed foods were the answer.
well now, how did they expect it to sell very well if it was all flying out of the store?? ps. I routinely tell people, 'move over bacon' when I go to sit down next to them.
"Without all the fat..." ....Yeah, and also without all the FLAVOR that the fat imparts unto the glorious bacon...they would never make an internet meme out of Sizzlean....
LOL. One friend of mine ordered a bacon burger, while our Muslim friend went with a chicken sandwich. The first friend said, Man, this burger is good, I respect your beliefs but man, I couldn't live without bacon, how do you do it. We all laughed. Then the first friend blurted out.......BEEF SIZZLEAN!!!!
Sizzlean...it was what non-pork eaters could have instead of bacon. Oprah didn't like it because of the beef scare of the dark ages...so it fizzled out.
beef mostly reduced fat..that's what some say killed the appeal beg to differ loved this product would buy it 2 packs at a time ..and also liked steakumms..remember that cool product
Sizzlean was made by Swift Foods, which is still around. What really happened was bacon got sick of moving over and shoved Sizzlean right out of your local multinational supermarket conglomerate and into the Failed Product Museum. Bacon made from beef? really?
It was later bought by Beatrice Foods where they did the same commercial with the “We’re Beatrice” tagline at the end which wasn’t too bad, because Swift was part of Beatrice back in 1985.
"FAT" is what's wrong with bacon? Let me tell you something - fat is what's RIGHT with bacon, otherwise it would never have become the successful internet meme that it is today! I'll take some juicy, fatty, droopy, luscious real bacon any day of the week over that artificial sizzlean stuff...oh, wait, it's no longer manufactured, is it? Move over, Sizzlean - we've chosen something yummier - real bacon...mmmmm...baaaaacon.... :)
"Whoa sis... when did you learn to perform acts of telekinesis on strips of meat?"
Thanks to this ad now my dad says move over bacon to me whenever he wants me to move, which is a lot.
LMAO!! My mom use to say the same to me 😂😂
My wife just told our 9 year old this so I looked it up. I'm 52 so of course I remember it perfectly...
Lol me too
My mom always said this to me
I say this to my kiddo.
Sizzlean was delicious. I remember eating it in the early 80's. Wish they would bring it back.
😂 yeah right. That’s why bacon is king and sizzlean is a distant memory
I vehemently, respectfully disagree lol

You’ve pretty much just described my entire life!!! 😆
I would have been 8 too, and just came here for a similar reason. I say it to my kids, all the time, and finally decided to google it.
I myself was 10 y/o at the time this commercial came out.

What's even weirder, I remembered the entire commercial word for word not having seen it for over 30 years.
God I miss the 80s. Take me back.
Time circuits on Sheels1976.... Flux capacitor fluxing... 😁❤👌
I miss it all the time
This commercial has stayed with me just about my entire life. . .LOL!
I always thought it said “now there’s something meatier”
George .S. That was the tag line for another version of the commercial. ruclips.net/video/a6801d-ll_Q/видео.html

@@AJ-yi6hg 😂 noooo!
They do say that in a different commercial. 😂

Had to look this up because of PhillipsFamBam
Love it! "Move over bacon" is still used in my vocal repituare.
I loved when I was younger. Every morning on my breakfast plate
“Whoa Sis, what’s the deal with you using your satanic powers right in front of my kids???”
craig mack!
+Danny G. And just like a piece of sizzlean
You'll fit inside my stomach
With the eggs and grits between
(Take 'em down, Mack!)
Aw man...RIP, Mack.
A blast from the past.
I say this when i go to sit/lay down and someone is in my way 🤣 🤣 🤣
i am glad that those sisters taught the kid their magick.
Sizzlean was basically Spam processed to look and taste like bacon.
When I tell my dog to make room on the couch,I say "move over bacon" and she does.in 85 I was 11
Move, bacon. Get out da way!
"Our kids telekinetic?!? We can take him on the road and finally be able to afford real bacon!"
Who was brought here by Craig Mack? "Just like a piece of sizzlean, you'll fit inside my stomach with the eggs and grits between..." - craig mack

Should have been "Sizzleaner".
I tried "move over bacon" with the wife. It didn't go well.
This is where "move over, bacon" enter our American lexicon when requesting someone to shift seating locations, typically in a living room setting.
Jim Gaffigan would be outraged.
I still say, "Move over bacon...", when I want people to get out of my way. Most people have no idea where that phrase originated from 🙂
WALTER, JR.: What's--that?
SKYLER: Sizzle-lean. We're watching our cholesterol.
WALTER, JR.: Not--me! I want--bacon!
how did I not die from eating this as a child
Loved and miss Sizzlean. Have to settle for Turkey Bacon now. :(
it was definitely a product way ahead of its time these days it would probably sell very well with almost everyone trying to eat more healthy
I actually like turkey bacon better than pork, for some reason.
Cypress Hill brought me here 😁😁🤣

I love you more than Sizzlean!

Ohmygosh! I remember this! :)
Random stuff I wonder about in 2022….
This commercial cracked me up so bad as a kid.
It's pretty unintentionally hilarious.
Man, I really loved Sizzlean as a kid. Wish they sell that stuff now... :( Oh well, center cut bacon's good for the least amount of fat.
I finally got to show this commercial to my kids. When I need them to move,I always say, "Move over bacon, it's time for Sizzlean!"
By the way, I used to love the taste of Sizzlean. My mom would buy it, and I thought it was delicious. Too bad it's gone....
I just typed this same post. It was "Now there's something Meatier"
"Mmmm" said no one ever about Sizzlean.
Craig Mack brought me here.
RIP
Sizzlean came back as Turkey Bacon I'm quite certain!
I agree. It was very salty, but way better than the turkey bacon they make now.
Sizzle like a snail
This is why we have the obesity epidemic that we have now; people were brainwashed into believing that fat was the enemy (a study funded by sugar companies in the 60's and 70's are to blame) and that artificial fats (hydrogenated oils) seed oils, sugar and processed foods were the answer.
Sadly never got the chance to try just a little before my time
I used to like eating Sizzlean when I was a kid. I thought that product disappeared right after the 70's
But where does the bacon go?
Seriously. I would eat a pound of it right now. I'd eat 2 pounds if they wrapped it in bacon.
Ahhh, the days when F-A-T fat was vilified!
well now, how did they expect it to sell very well if it was all flying out of the store??
ps. I routinely tell people, 'move over bacon' when I go to sit down next to them.

but what was it made of??
Scrapple
Spam
Bacon without fat is like beer without alcohol!
Whoa, sis, what's the matter with my bacon? Also, how did you learn to levitiate objects?
Made waaaaaay before people heard of pink slime.
0:18---gotta get 'em started early! But all that proselytizing can't obsure the truth: BACON RULES.
breathingreflection AMEN! Badmouthing bacon is sheer culinary sacrilege!!
@levitationist "... This is not the processed meat you're looking for..."
From Swift. And Look For Sizzlean Now. It's A Better Value Then Ever. But Hurry Before It's Flying Out Of The Store.
Sizzlean...it was what non-pork eaters could have instead of bacon. Oprah didn't like it because of the beef scare of the dark ages...so it fizzled out.
Move over bacon and look what we're facon!
New from Crap-co it's Facon.
Tastes just like bacon without all the bacon.
@cruets For real. My moms used to buy Sizzlean all the time. I buy turkey bacon because I'm forced to. Dammit!
beef mostly reduced fat..that's what some say killed the appeal beg to differ loved this product would buy it 2 packs at a time ..and also liked steakumms..remember that cool product
They still make Steak Umms.
They took the fun out of bacon.
Mmm beef bacon
Lest see what EPIC MEAL TIME has to say about this...

I remember these ads! That kid is annoying ;)
Beef - actually.
Bacon > Sizzlean.
Any day of the week.
My mother used to buy this, pretty sure it was dark turkey meat.
Sizzlean was nasty tasting.
Who needs this garbage when there's Scrapple?
I hated sizzlean
...and I loved it... so sad that we can't buy it anymore.
I did recently discover that, if you slice Lite Spam thin and fry it, it's very close. :D
