The Impossible Whopper

[Zeb_Carter]

Okay, who has tried the Impossible Whopper? What did you think?

Personally, I tried it and couldn't tell the difference. Really.

The only problem I have, it has approx. the same calories and other elements of whopper, yet adds eggs, soy, and wheat to the mix. Although wheat and egs were always there in the bun, you now get more in the burger itself.

Personally, being on a low sodium diet, the regular whopper is better for me with only 980g of sodium instead of 1080g.

So from now on when I do have a burger, I will get the regular whopper.

If it wasn't for the sodium I would get the Impossible Whopper as all the other tracked items are lower.

I saw the thread title and thought it was about authors giving their male characters ridiculously huge cocks.

I haven't tried the Impossible Whopper and don't really intent to. I gave up all my other unhealthy vices, I'll keep my occasional junk food habit.

When I go to BK -- and it's a rare occasion when I do -- I get the Whopper Jr. instead of the Whopper. The Whopper is just too much grease and low grade meat in one sitting for my taste. I would never even consider buying an Impossible Whopper.

The Original Tops in Pasadena, CA has spoiled me for all other fast food burger chains. They make the best 1/4-pound cheeseburger in the world, hands down. And it's cheaper than the Whopper to boot.

That's funny. I thought the exact same thing.

Well, to be fair, I think about ridiculously huge cocks fairly often.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Maybe I should start a thread about impossibly large cocks? No. Then everyone will want a picture.

Aren't those called "tom turkeys"? (ducks and runs)

 

[CoffeeWithMonkeys]

Haven't tried it. I don't really go to Burger King, actually can't remember the last time I went.
In the smallish town I live in we have local places that are so much better than franchise places, so I prefer going to them.

I might try it though if I ever do end up and BK, but probably wouldn't get it again because I've heard it's a lot more $ than a regular Whopper and I'm cheap!

I've become just a regular cheeseburger guy a couple of times a year.

 

[KaceyLoveington]

The more impossible the whopper, the larger my appetite for it is

We've not yet gone Impossible at Burger Thing -- but two cheeseless Woppers for six bucks are hard to beat when we're down in the county seat, especially as 1) I can't walk much at the moment, and 2) the few other local drive-thrus are much worse. CrapInTheBox. TacoSmell. McDung. Kaintucky Fat Chicken. Snarls Jr. -- nothing else within 30 miles / 50 klicks. Taco trucks are good but my partner must stand waiting before we can dine in the car.

We'll know the revolution has succeeded when taco wagoneers serve Impossible carne asada and al pastor burritos. But critters are MEANT to be devoured. Animals eat humans with no moral qualms. Don't hesitate to reciprocate.

 

[Artfan2]

Just to make things clear

Would it be possible for posters to photograph their impossible whoppers and possibly post their whopper photos here? Impossible whopper stories would be welcome as well.

I love Jack In The Box! The bacon cheddar potato wedges are so good. And KFC is yum here. Maybe because one of my sons works there and he cooks the chicken. A few of the other workers will only eat when my son makes the chicken.

Sometimes I just need some Taco Bell. I get the $5 chalupa box. Filling and good. But I usually do prefer our localtex mex diners tacos.

After our first & last visit resulted in mutual vomiting, we call it SCARF-N-BARF, and assiduously avoid. Yes, I read that they, and Chipotle and others, have hopefully addressed their sanitation issues. Right. We don't trust the bastards.

 

[jaF0]

At least for me, KFC and some Chinese foods are great laxatives.


BK? They're still in business?

We have a lot of local Jack In The Box, the closest one I won't go to we go to one a couple towns over. It's just like a 15 minute bus ride though.

So yeah I get you, the last time I went to the closest one I decided I wouldn't be returning to it. We were lucky and didn't get sick, but one of my daughter's bun for her burger was black, completely burnt. She took it up to the counter to get a new one and was told, yeah that's the best one of the ones he cooked, you should be lucky to get that one.

I once got food poisoning from Cracker Barrell. It was Black Friday. After shopping at Joanns, sewing/craft store for those who don't sew or craft, we went across the highway to Cracker Barrell because getting up early for 99 cent a yard flannel makes you hungry. My daughter and I got the same breakfast, my cousin was lucky and ordered something different.
A few hours later my daughter and I were not feeling it. Nauseous, cold clammy sweating. Vomiting and diarrhea all night and the next day. We really couldn't eat for about a week. Could hardly keep water down.
It was about a month before my stomach stopped cramping after I ate.

It took me several years to try Cracker Barrell again, and I haven't gone back to that one.

When it comes to getting food poisoning, I can hold a grudge that easily lasts a lifetime.

 

[BrokenSpokes]

I actually like it. I don’t go to BK that often but these days when I do, that’s what I order. I like it with pickles and onion rings on it.

I was willing to. I had never felt so sick except when I had shingles, that was miserable!

But we were on vacation in Tulsa and the only place by our hotel we could walk to for breakfast was Cracker Barrel

Not a short time, hopefully.

ObTopic: IMHO non-meat burgers are okay when all else is gone. Except I'd skip the new KFC offering, the chicken-donut sandwich. Big chunk of fried chicken bookended by a donut or two. Umm, I'll take a tofuburger, please.

Yep, many decades ago I tried a Whopper and got sicker than a dog from it. Never gone near one since. I do have BK's cheeseburger maybe 3x year.

The Impossible? Nah, I won't bother. I can't eat like that anymore.

Sanitation and training have since hopefully improved at that particular location. We might each consume a dozen Whoppers per year, as needed, and we've not suffered. But Jack had a rep for sickening customers, as did/does Chipotle. And I can't even walk thru a McOldDung's door -- that smell!

Perversely, I'm glad that 1) I don't need to but 2) I can afford to.

Save your money...tastes like crap!!...get the real whopper....

The head of a midwest agribiz society warned that Impossibles are an "existential threat" to beef because the ersatz are so good. Maybe you got one from a crackhead cook. Anything can be dogshitted.

I've more medical work down in Sacratomato this week; maybe an Impossible is available to taste-test. Meanwhile: Tofu burgers need tamari. Turkey burgers need horseradish. Salmon burgers ain't bad. What I want: crab-cake burgers. But not between donuts.

I think the problem at Chipotle was e.coli in the self serve lemons.
