One of the video ads in AOL’s end of the year campaign is “Bacon,” which promotes AOL Food. Live action and animation combine to show a series of dishes with bacon in them, from macaroni and cheese to ice cream. As the food rolls along a conveyor belt, animated images of pigs, a Canadian mountie and Japanese text appear on screen.
