This kind of offhand dismissal always confuses me. Can people really not understand a distinction more subtle than “Google bad at private! Either no never trust Google or yes always trust Google!”

And they’re making record profits!

This is what you call deceptive marketing. So tell me how Tesla has “broken the traditional dealership experience” again...?

I’ll hand it to them for finally getting under $40k, but the cheapest starting price on the website is still $38,990.

This is what happens when a company is run by a drug addict with untreated ADDHD.

This is what they should have done from the beginning.  Just be a niche car maker for wealthy people, stop pretending and overpromising to the rest of the plebs.

This is a class action lawsuit, if he wins, him and his fellow offended will get a coupon for one free soda with a purchase of Friday’s Signature whiskey glazed sliders. His attorney will get $750,000 for his legal work.

This. It’s ridiculous to compare the veggie burgers to a plain beef patty. Nobody I know eats them plain. They add all kinds of seasonings, with sodium and sugar and fat. The veggie burgs come pre-seasoned. If that’s how they compare to plain beef patty, they are way ahead by the time you actually eat the burger.

I don’t blame you. That sounds like a pretty fun thing to mess with her about, to be honest.

A lot of restaurants are starting to get them. Go try one. It's pretty cool. 

My wife’s a vegetarian. This is the first fake burger that you could give me and I wouldn’t know. Beyond is close but Impossible wins. It’s really hard to sell the concept to non-believers, but this is just as good as beef.

So .. you haven't actually tried it? Good comment.

She thinks all chemicals are bad, because she has no idea what the fuck a chemical is. She thinks all chemicals are man-made. She asked me for a glass of water once and I told her I didn’t want to give her any chemicals. She was so confused. My wife has since told me to stop messing with her.

I have a couple points to make but first must state for the record I’m a vegetarian of about 17 years, moving toward vegan for ethical purposes only.

I’ve had both and (I’m using another reviewer’s term here) the BB was a mildly like cat food. That’s a bit harsh, because I would try a BB again, but the Impossible Burger was significantly more beef-like and tastier. After trying both, I would still eat either over a Boca if I was going for the closest to a real beef

You really should try an Impossible Burger. I’ve had both, and Impossible was the only one that made me wonder whether the restaurant had served me a beef patty by mistake.

It actually tastes good though, unlike any TVP product I’ve eaten.

I doubt it. And given the good reviews they get, I’m not surprised that they added a lot of oil and salt to whatever legumes and vegetables they use to make them. I would also suspect that the similarity in the numbers is no accident. The developers of these meat substitute probably anticipated comparisons like this

You can skip the Beyond Burger, its just more of the same bean paste. The Impossible Burgers I have had have been uncannily delicious though.

I’m actually interested in trying these now, they’ve been off my radar except for reading about them in business news.
