A video showing a California baby's first taste of bacon is going viral. It would seem that bacon is now this baby's new favorite food.
While definitely adorable, the viral video shows the baby's hilarious reaction to tasting bacon for the first time.
Parents Tyler and Melissa Beach from Diamond Bar in Walnut, California gave bacon to their son, Easton, for the first time on Christmas morning and it's just a gift that keeps on giving. Their son's glorious reaction on camera was a moment that would be viewed millions of times over on social media.

Easton's mother never thought that the video would go viral. To date, her baby's first bacon experience has gotten over 4 million views. Baby Easton's ecstasy is now shared to millions of people.
There was no need for introductions.
When baby Easton tried his first bacon ever, he repeatedly tried saying the word "bacon" in sheer delight, becoming louder and more enthusiastic with each try.
Easton Beach is 19 months old, and it's clear that it's Christmas day in the video since he was dressed in Santa Claus pajamas on his high chair.
TIME described the first bacon moment as "basically a spiritual experience," and it would seem like it, since Easton is seen in the video closing his eyes with each taste.
In the background, the adults are heard having hysterics laughing at his adorable reaction.
According to Good Morning America, Her husband, Tyler, also posted it on YouTube, where it has been viewed more than 11,000 times.
To share the joy of Christmas bacon with more people, Tyler Beach shared the video on Youtube on December 28, which to date has been viewed over 11,000 times.
The Huffington Post noted that the baby's first bacon reaction is akin to cartoon character Homer Simpson's trances with each mid-meal.
In an interview with ABC News, Melissa said:
"We usually stick with the same fruit and waffles for breakfast. They made bacon so my husband handed him a piece just to see what he'd do with it."
"It was just hilarious. We definitely had to stop him from eating and he was not happy about it," Melissa added.
It was reported that Easton and his parents were at his grandparents' home during that glorious Christmas morning when he tasted his first bacon. Apparently, Easton had already been munching on the bacon for 10 minutes when she decided to capture the moment on her smartphone at the last minute.
Good thing she wasn't too late, and Easton got to share some holiday cheers.
