I was visiting my son and his wife and kids a week ago, and they got three “impossible burger” Whoppers and fries from Burger King and brought them home for us adults to try. Kids got (real) chicken nuggets. My daughter-in-law is a long term vegetarian (not so much for health reasons as moral ones - she wants to minimize her involvement in animals suffering.
Anyway, to say I was impressed by the “Impossible Burger” was an understatement. It tasted exactly like a “real” burger. In fact it was so good I concluded it could not be fake meat. It had the flavor right, but also the texture and slight resistance to chewing you get with real meat. I looked at the half-eaten sandwich and it was darker near the edges but still a little pink in the middle, just like real meat would be.
I had read somewhere that some Burger Kings have a policy where they will substitute a real Whopper if they run out of the “impossible” ones. I think that is what happened to us, but I didn’t say anything to the DIL. She loved the sandwich.

And here lies the problem, this can just as well be done in reverse. Would they do this? If what you say is indeed true, then by their own admission they would. Trust is a huge issue with this concept.
