I had never heard of them at home, only since I came over here. According to Wiki, the name is only about in England since 1990. 
They are certainly everywhere now. I don't see the big deal. I like bacon, I like sausages, it is hardly a miracle to put the two together!

Very much an 'Merican thing.
 
I heard it over there and then I remember for some strange reason Joey Tribiani saying it once.

American pigs in blankets are different to the ones here though. They use pastry while we use Bacon/Rashers

It's a perfect, lifelike recreation of a hard Brexiteer.

Apart from my Skinner and Scargill, there aren't many colourful Brexiteers.

It's the sh*t that's colourful, not the hard Brexiteer.

In this case, the unicorn is also quite colourful. I watched a bizarre video.
