BlackNMild2k1:
Impossible Whopper is going NATIONWIDE next week
https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/01/business/impossible-whopper-national/index.html
(FYI, you can only currently get Impossible burger meat from Burger King, as they bought out the entire supply chain for the near... and possibly foreseeable, future)

Who is gonna buy an Impossible Whopper, and then next to it a Regular Whopper and do the side by side taste test?

Who is gonna be our guinea pig?

edit: hint.... it might be me. I'm curious, and carnivorous, and therefore don't believe all the opinions out there about how you can't taste the difference.... you get 1 chance to make me a believer.

ShyGuy:
But do they have the vegan cheese?

I haven’t had the Impossible Whopper, but I’ve had many Impossible Burger patties at a small, suburban non-chain in New Jersey where I used to live. I order it regularly because I’m monitoring my cholesterol consumption. I exercise regularly; it’s bad genetics apparently. Anyway, I can tell the difference if I’m paying attention. If I were to have some blind taste tests, I may fail a few. The Impossible Burger is really close to a regular beef patty, notably closer than the Beyond Burger which itself is pretty good. If I had to describe it, Impossible Burger is a decent beef substitute, but it can’t substitute the fat where a lot of the flavor comes from. Put it against a Kobe beef patty or a brisket mix, and yeah, you probably can tell.

BlackNMild2k1:
Honestly, that's how BK should advertise the national roll out.

"Take the Impossible Whopper Challenge"

and it's a 2 Whopper meal (1 Impossible, 1 Regular) both in identical wrappings, 1 Fry, and a drink.

and if they really want to step it up and entice people to give it a try, figure out a way to keep track of which was which (special codes on the wrappers?) and have people take the survey to choose the correct sandwich (same survey where they usually give you a free whopper for taking) and give some prize for choosing correctly.

Right = 1 Free BK Combo coupon (or $5 off any combo coupon)
Wrong = 1 Free Incredible Whopper coupon (since you couldn't tell the difference)

Stratos:
I have no intention of touching that "impossible" dreck. Burgers are made of meat and anything else is sacrilege.
