Man, I'm so glad I don't trade stocks.

I was so convinced that these meatless meats were going to be the next big thing.

One thing I think they missed out on was getting to 'close enough' and 'much cheaper' and then just pivoting.

Like, why stay with simulating the 5 or so animals we harvest? Just go off and make up new ones!

Like, here's a jackalope burger, or a unicorn burger or something. Tie into marketing!

"Exclusive to BurgerKing, the Iron Man 5 burger! Now through August 29th only!"

Put in some strange spices, vary the texture, give it a red and gold swirl, let the imagination run wild.

Can you imagine what business a Spiderman burger patty or sausage link would do? K-Pop demon hunters branded chicken-ish nugget like things?
