Why is no one making a squid burger?
This will go as well as their SALADS.
It will get the same customer approval of the “New, Improved” Coke, from 20 years ago.
McDonald’s had a McLean ‘burger’ years ago - I think it was made out of seaweed.
This won’t be around long.
I thought it already was meatless.
Carl’s Jr. / Hardees just came out with a Charbroiled Veggie Burger.
I hear it doesn’t taste too bad, but I haven’t been close enough to starvation to want to actually eat one.
Whatever happend to “Wheres the beef”?
Who will be the first to roll out a dirtburger?
Carl’s JR has had that burger out for over 2 months.
Well, it is a ‘whopper’.
just because it’s meatless doesn’t make it healthy. Most frozen meatless “burgers” I’veread nutritional info on boxes are super high in salt or other things that are not so healthy.
Yuck. It will fail. Didn’t McDonalds offer some type of fake burger briefly several years ago?
Burger Kings here have had BK Veggie burgers all along and I like them.
Why would mcd roll out a meatless whopper
No meat Whopper? They should call it the “Whimper.”
They can roll them out. I won’t eat them.
It won’t be the meatless part of it that causes it to fail, but the economics. The fast food giants are marketed to an audience that is very sensitive to price changes. A ten cent change does not go unnoticed and logistics trails are determined years ahead of time to keep stability at a maximum.
The impossible burger is a lab experiment in many ways. The big chains will trot it out for publicity and research, and scientists will write stuff down and a big meaty apology will be made.
Selling a burger grown in a lab or made from something other than meat has huge upsides for these companies, the idea that you can cut the farmer and the animal out of the equation is very appealing for the bean counters. Some day one of these big companies will make the leap, when they have the data that says they can deliver x corporate profits over y quarters and a very low delta of profit flux by doing so.
The burger meat in the Whopper needs improving first. I know what a hamburger tastes like when it comes from the meat counter. The texture and taste of store bought hamburger is far superior. Their flame broiling is for efficiency and little for taste.
The original Whopper was extraordinary hamburger, loaded with onions, pickles, tomato slices and a mound of shredded lettuce all wrapped in cellophane. It had an ample, tasty burger patty and I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I ate my first one. I had to use two hands to eat it as its drippings dropped on that wrapper.
