The Campaign

Almost all Norwegian bacon has added water because water increase weight – and the end-price to consumers. Added water makes the bacon splash while frying, a fact not commonly known. Grilstad doesn´t add water. They’re just a small company producing honest, premium bacon. Rather than pointing a finger to Grilstad’s competitors, we chose to enlight Norwegians with humour simply by saying: "It´s better with bacon in water, than water in bacon", showing ehh... swimming pigs.
