Burger King, you...missed the point slightly.

I'm sure yall have all heard of Burger King's Impossible Whopper:



It is their standard Whopper config, just with a meatless patty (compressed soy powder). Nothing crazy there. (Well, compressed soy powder might be up for debate on that.)

However, in Texas, they have an Impossible Texas Whopper:


It is the same thing as above, but with the addition of mustard, jalapeños, and bacon.

Did you catch it? Read that again. Bacon. No really:



To a company that does $11 billion in US sales, this apparently makes sense.

(Legal signed off on this??!!)

It’s not just in Texas, pretty sure it’s nationwide as I’ve seen in Iowa and Minnesota. Though I’m smacking myself in the forehead for not seeing the irony until your post, but as soon as I see impossible anything I moved to the next choice.

My body just doesn't do well with fast food. I have gotten food poisoning three times from McD's and I just won't chance it anymore at any fast food restaurant. I feel cursed, each time I was very busy and picked up a quick meal because I hadn't eaten for a long time. As many of you know, food poisoning has a way of shall we say, sloooowing youuuuu dooooown.

When I was in college fast food was such a treat. I would eat government cheese that my aunt would send me and save all my change to 'treat' myself with a bean burrito from Taco Bell and a box of wings at KFC for under $3. I would save the chicken bones and put it in my ramen with and egg.

Actually one of my worst cases was when I was graduating from college. Again, crazy busy and I grabbed (I can still remember after 40 years) a fish fillet with cheese. And lucky me was the valedictorian. I got through the speech, but I was wringing wet with sweat. In my speech I told the audience that in broadcasting we use the term "don't puke on the mic, (meaning don't sound like an announcer.) Well today I mean that quite literally." There was a polite laugh and the people in the front row started to look nervous.


***I hope someone likes this post, it took me way to long with a thumb condom on. I need to learn a better technique for opening a package of bacon.***

I understand completely Subway has tried to finish me off twice.

I want my burger meat processed by a cow rather than by a lab tech.

Would be good for a person who can't eat beef, but can eat pork, but a larger audience would be vegetarians, for sure.

I got challenged by a dude in a hospital cafeteria recently, when I noticed the bacon looked like printed cardboard. He agreed it was vegetarian bacon, and was helping himself to it. As he was walking away, under my breath I said, "Soilent Green is peeeeeple." He whipped around and said something like, "Do you think they bring in, (garbled speech).....? I said, "I don't know." Then, he said, "Man, that is dark." (or something to that effect.)

I think he was asking me if I thought they brought in bodies to make the bacon. He was a good bit younger than me, so I would be surprised that he knew that reference. Maybe he thought I said, "The bacon is peeeeeple."

[jfmorris]

Well, the point seems to be they put REAL bacon on a VEGAN patty....

[Huskee]

Don't Texans hate beef??

[Duanessmokedmeats]

I call it the Impossible Burger, because it is impossible that I would ever eat that.🤢🤮

[lemayp]

Here’s the test that may finally prove if bacon makes everything better. Just need someone to sacrifice for the good of the group.

[FireMan]

It’s a conspiracy! Yessir!

I thought it was funny the one time i went to BK with my family and they were having a discussion behind the counter while we waited about how they were out of impossible burgers so they sent a guy off to walmart to restock. i would have thought A) they would have their own distribution system supply it and B) it wouldn't be that much in demand in rural WI that they would need to make a run for it like this was an emergency situation
