Did Uber inadvertently add a Bacon Detector?

Lately I've been noticing a pattern in my games.

Often I'll play a game with a Gunner or Tank wearing the Summer Gear. When I look at them, I see their Bacon grills. Each time I see them, the bacon is always a different shade, like it's slowly cooking.

When their Bacons are a dark-brown-reddish color, more often than not I'll hear Mickey announce someone obtaining bacon, and in the following match the bacon is pink, like it was just put on the grill.

I'm guessing that the colors of the bacon on the grills correspond to the likeliness of bacon being dropped in the immediate match.

Either that, or I'm a loon. I'm pretty sure it's that one.

My bet is either the lighting on the map or it's just set up that way
Tho if it were me I'd just try to keep an eye on the color as the match progresses to see if the bacon is "cooking" as the match goes on

Hm I'll have to pay more attention in the next games I play.

I think i did notice that the bacon on the tank and gunner's grills sizzle after you have picked up bacon - or is that an effect that was always around sort of like the chickey cantor feathers coming out of pros?

Yea, when you pick up bacon there's a sizzle sound and steam starts coming off your head

Always around.
