I cant relate to bacon however (I looked up bacon history, saw that Europe was mentioned, looked up popular sports in Europe, and soccer came up, and I doubt its soccer next year, so yea... no luck there ).

My thoughts.
What if they used a non-rigid shape... like a soft thick ball filled with a type of gel.
