A bacon riddle is:
Q: What’s the best day to eat bacon (and eggs)?
A: Fry-day.
The joke has been cited in print since at least 2003.
“What day does an Easter egg hate the most?”/“Fry-day” and “Why don’t you eat fish on Thanksgiving?”/“Because Thanksgiving never falls on a fry day” are other “Fry-day” riddles.
5 January 2003, Sunday Telegraph (Surry Hills, New South Wales), pg. F1:
