I think I'm the only one.
It is a MAGA throwback to an era long lost and much loved!!!

What is the attraction of the Whopper substitute?
Meat Whopper................677 calories
Impossible Whopper........630 calories
Just that it is not made from a cow?
OK, since you bring it up, my secretary sits in a dark office with just an old fashioned table lamp. She likes it that way but when clients comment on it I tell them that I give her the choice of air conditioning or light, she can't have both.
I just picked up a regular Whopper and an Impossible Whopper. I cut both burgers in quarters and gave a section of each to my secretary. She sniffed them and picked the Impossible burger right away but when she tried them she really had a hard time telling the difference. I couldn't really tell much of a difference by smell (but my sniffer isn't all that great to begin with) but could taste a slight difference. The Impossible burger can easily pass for meat but it's isn't exactly a beef taste.
I took the other sections to one of the other offices in my complex and and the first one to try them guessed wrong. The other guy was just happy I brought burgers and chowed down!
Bottom line, with all the condiments it's hard to tell which is which. Leave off the condiments and it's a lot easier but the difference is MUCH more subtle than, for example, the difference between real Coke and Coke Zero.
Do other bosses force their secretaries like this? Making them smell food and eat unhealthy products?
