March 15, 2002

On March 15, 2002, Burger King did the unthinkable in the United States. It began selling a veggie burger. It did exactly what you think it would. It didn’t sell. People who went to Burger King for the Whopper and instead tried the veggie burger said it tasted like what you’d feed the burger and vegetarians didn’t go to Burger King anyway. Vegetarians, with their stunted taste buds, think that all non-meat substitutes taste like meat anyway, so their opinions couldn’t be trusted. The Veggie Whopper Burger died a quiet death. Oh, the only thing that would make the Veggie Whopper palatable, cheese, Vegans refuse to eat. Vegans, the subclass of Vegetarians that make Vegetarians seem reasonable.
