I'm about to eat an IMPOSSIBLE Whopper

Whooopie!

Big deal. If it's supposed to taste like a regular hamburger and everybody knows what a hamburger tastes like.

They're doing a special this week or something on DoorDash, a "Taste Test" kit for $7 and free delivery. You get an impossible whopper and a regular whopper together so you can see if there's a difference.

I've eaten about half of the Impossible Whopper so far... and it tastes almost exactly like the real meat version. Unless the wrapper is wrong and they wrapped up a real Whopper by mistake. I'm kind of shocked actually. I only wish they'd given it to me with cheese.

When I was a teen and worked at McD’s, we’d serve regular Quarter pounder meat on the McDLT if we didn’t have any McDLT patties up. Also regular coffee for decaf if we were out. Your impossible burger might just be possible.

I actually felt the Impossible tasted better and also didn’t fall as heavy on your stomach.

Luckily, I'm not a vegetarian, r4! I'll have to try a few more at different times to see!

I can't tell if it's psychosomatic or not but I feel like my mouth is drier after the Impossible burger. It may just be because it doesn't have cheese.

It's frankenfood. Check the ingredients out, it's junk.

Isn’t an Impossible Burger just a Veggie Burger?

isn't that the thing, the issue with "vegetarian" food made to look and taste like meat or chicken? are they truly made of vegetables, strictly vegetables or are they ALSO loaded with gosh knows what, that in hindsight might be worse for your body then red meat or meat?....

r9 it's not about it being 'healthier' for you necessarily - as I understand it the Impossible Burger has the same fat and calories as a regular burger. It's supposed to be more about the impact on the environment and farting cows etc. etc.

According to Impossible Foods' website, the five main ingredients of an Impossible Burger 2.0 are:

Water

Soy-protein concentrate

Coconut oil

Sunflower oil

Natural flavors.

Impossible "meat" also contains 2% or less of:

Potato protein

Methylcellulose

Yeast extract

Cultured dextrose

Food starch, modified

Soy leghemoglobin

Salt

Soy-protein isolate

Mixed tocopherols (vitamin E)

Zinc gluconate

Thiamine hydrochloride (Vitamin B1)

Sodium ascorbate (vitamin C)

Niacin

Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6)

Riboflavin (vitamin B2)

Vitamin B12

Also:

Impossible Foods uses genetic engineering to make ingredients that are essential to the taste and texture of its plant-based meat substitute: soy leghemoglobin (also known as heme) and soy protein. Soy protein replaced wheat protein as the main base for Impossible's second recipe, while soy leghemoglobin is responsible for making the patty taste like meat.

I don't know about the rest of you but I think this stuff is scary.

Just a hunch, but I bet there's a big reveal coming.

Remember Olestra?

Burger King’s regular veggie burger is pretty good. I hope they don’t get rid of it for the impossible burger

r12 yeah but products were required to put warnings on that (originally, anyway).

r12 how dare you!! I loved my oily discharge! I called it skippy.

They're so good. No cholesterol either.

Review Brah gave it a good review. He liked it.

Review Brah? He looks like a Keebler elf.

alot of soy in the impossible burger! no thanks! don't need my estrogen going up!...

"Envious," not" jealous."

I can't wait to get my paws on one of those impossible burgers. Sound good to me.

R20 you're new here, aren't you?

I have a whopper about once a year and when I do it's going to have meat in it not some chemical formula.

I tried a Carl's Jr. Beyond Famous Star yesterday, and it was very good. It's been over twelve hours and no digestive surprises to report. Would definitely have it again, I felt like less of a murder monster.

It's more highly processed food that's not natural.

R24 is it an impossible burger too?

I know Applebees has The Impossible Burger also and I heard it’s delicious.

r26 no it is the competitor, the beyond burger. Beyond is based on pea protein and impossible is based on soy.

I smelled like Flame Broiling today, but no other weird side effects.... Yet

Meat is not what's making people fat, it's carbs and sugar. I don't care if it's good for the environment. If I can't pronounce the ingredients, I don't want it.

That thing has 630 calories & 34 grams of fat. Better off sticking to the meat Whopper.

R30, I hope you can pronounce all the chemicals, hormones, and preservatives pumped into your meat before you buy it.

R31 it's comparable to the Whopper

I had it. It was damn good, actually.

I actually loved it.

God damn you WHORE just STOP it RIGHT NOW!

I'm assuming these plant burgers cost 3x the beef version ? I'm really not seeing the point. Maybe though if it brings back the 15 cent burger

There sure are a lot of nonbinary gray pansexuals on the DL!

I just had one. It was ok.

I have sufficient

How long before they find out that the Impossible Burger is really bad for you due to one of the chemicals in it?

The Impossible Whopper is PEOPLE!!!

But has it cleared the FDA?

Nasty GMO nightmare food.

The cost right now is higher because it is more expensive to produce and not as abundant at beef. If it becomes common place it will cost less. FYI I got the impossible burger at Cheesecake Factory last night and it was damn damn good.

R43 yes it has, the soy hemoglobin or whatever did clear the FDA, as I understand it from the article quoted above.

R37's price list makes me weep...can you imagine getting a double cheeseburger, fries and a shake for 75 cents?

R46, LOL at those that really trust the FDA with consumers' health. Buyer beware. I avoid all fast food like the plague. Many cheaper & healthier meals available at ethnic quick serve joints.

r48 gotta trust something at some point. But my response was for the person who said that it hadn't been approved by the FDA. It has.

Impossible is a good name for it since it would be impossible to think i would ever eat this shit.

Remember the FDA approved Oxycontin as a nonaddictive pain killer, nutra sweet that chemically changes to formaldehyde when heated, Olestra, and the all time winner: thalidomide.

If you lobby hard enough and spread around enough cash, the'll approve anything. I'm looking at you Donald Rumsfeld.

I'm not buying it.

Yes, yes, we know about Nutrasweet and Rumsfeld, but it doesn't mean that everything the FDA approves is bad.

Look at the corruption rates for the US vs. other countries (pre Donald Trump, anyway). The US is structured so it's difficult to be corrupt in the government without it being discovered at some point. Versus somewhere like Russia or a lot of the eastern european states, where corruption abounds.

Let's just hope there is no Impossible Bowel Movement

[quote] for the person who said that it hadn't been approved by the FDA. It has.

As if that means anything.

The FDA is now under donald DUMP.

I wouldn't trust a thing that came from that agency.

r54 welcome to the rest of the thread you haven't read

Eat an Impossible Whopper, cunt R55.

Hope it clogs your rancid arteries.

Why do these fake burgers contain so much cheap quality oil? It's certainly not healthy nor really nutritious. Also it's as caloric as beef.

If you're concerned about eating meat it would be healthier & tastier to eat an actual vegetable-bean-nut patty with sauteed garlic and onions now made be a wide variety of restaurants. Recipes are also online but most require a lot of ingredients and prep work.

r56 you sound hungry and angry. Have you considered eating food?

r57 the point isn't to make a "healthier" alternative necessarily, it's to replicate the taste so you can have a similar experience without the extras that come with eating meat (cow farts, global warming, etc.) The bean burgers don't taste like real hamburger so that is why they will still only be popular amongst a segment of the population.

R59, Agreed. I've had vegetarian patty "burgers" that don't taste like beans at all and are really delicious. The best use house made ketchup and fresh roasted garlic & onions.

Oh, I've had them too, r60, they are good on their own, but you know you're eating a veggie burger because it's not entirely like real meat.

The texture was good and the taste was just like a regular Burger King patty, in both good and bad ways.

But, I felt bloated for several hours afterwards, no thank you.

I had one this weekend it was pretty good. Very much like a real burger texture and taste-wise, but obviously not real meat. Felt full after much like a regular fast food burger, so I don't think you're saving much on calories or extra fats/cholesterol.

We are intended to eat beef. 60 million years of primate evolution has optimized us as carnivores. It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!

Gasp!
