Jokes on you Nathan's, now I know Impossible makes hot dogs and want to get some. Their brats are pretty good, didn't know they made hot dogs.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yes but are these Impossible Hot Dogs made from the dregs of plants that were too disgusting to use for any other purpose? If they can't meet that high bar then I don't know if I even want them.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They’re made of plant lips and assholes.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

Cabbage anus, just like grandma used to make

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What's even the point of a hot dog if it isn't made from a ground-up pig's asshole?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Hell yeah pig lips and assholes! I know exactly what I’m eating and it’s delicious. Waste not, want not!

Although, after having an impossible burger, which was surprisingly good, I’d try an impossible dog or brat for sure. Can’t hurt the cholesterol levels I’d imagine.

For real. They’re practically toppings vessels for me anyway. If Impossible dogs don’t give you the hot dog burps, I’ll never eat another beef frank.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Or you can minmax your hotdog burps and chug hot ham water instead.

My only problems with Impossible products is they're usually quite a bit saltier than actual meat and of course that it's usually more expensive then meat products. If they fixed both of those problems I'd be okay with replacing a good percentage of my meat consumption with them.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I am once again asking for meat and dairy subsidies to be shifted to alternatives.

I'm perfectly happy with oat milk, especially in how it keeps longer, but not it being twice the price per gallon.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Nah, let's ban anything that doesn't include maximum animal suffering.

It's been a little while since I checked, but the last time I was thinking of making chilli, I decided against it because the ground beef was too expensive. I use the fattier/cheaper beef, and depending on which store I checked, the Impossible/Beyond products were either slightly cheaper than real meat, or the same price. Of all the shops I checked, the cheapest option ended up being Impossible or Beyond.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I say this without judgement as a fellow carnist, but you can definitely get away with eating less meat than you think. It's just a matter of figuring out how to prep and cook other protein sources.

I've got myself up to "almost vegan" except for when visiting family. Next step is bringing my own grillables lol that'll be to-do, I just know it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

There's a food truck in my town that serves vegan hot dogs, and they are awesome. If Impossible can manage to make theirs half that good, I'll probably buy them over the real meat ones even though I'm not a vegan.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah fr I'm gonna find some tonight - thanks for the free advertising! Impossible brats are a bangin, so I'm sure the hot dog will be great too.

“hot dog exclusivity provisions”

Well that’s not a phrase I ever expected to encounter.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Check your contract, just one more time. ;)

Oh, right, like it’s in the Lemmy TOS.

This has backfired spectacularly. Streisand effect, engaged!

Is that meme your own creation?

Very few things bring me joy these days. Joey Chestnut devouring dozens of hot dogs and buns every 4th of July was one of those disgusting and joyous occasions I could count on every year. Seeing that man throw caution to the wind and inhale that much sodium, fat, lips and assholes, and enriched wheat flour was horrifying and spectacular. Now, I won't even have that.

Major League Eating, hailing him as “an American hero,”

No. Just no.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Who do you worship, if not a guy who mastered a method of lubing up hot dogs so they slide down the throat at a record pace?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Honestly doesn’t get any more American than that 🫡🇺🇸

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

So it is basically deep throating, just with a different kind of saussage?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Fair enough.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago

Major League Eating said that it had gone “to great lengths in recent months to accommodate Joey and his management team, agreeing to the appearance fee and allowing Joey to compete in a rival unbranded hot dog eating contest on Labor Day,” but that they’d been unable to come to an agreement.

Lol this is hilarious because I still remember what Major League Eating did to Kobayashi in 2010, but with Joey they're bending over backwards to accommodate him and still lose. Serves them right and hopefully they'll lose a lot of money over their poor treatment of their talent.

If I had spent years earning my legal degree, and then found myself dealing with “hot dog exclusivity provisions” it would be time for me to take a painfully honest look at my career.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

It seems like out of the many potential villainous legal careers, the one that includes this is...fine

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago

That headline is deeply appreciated.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Sounds like it’s not so much the vegan thing as him just endorsing a Nathan’s rival.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

But if they don't bring veganism into this, how else will I aggressively express how much I love meat and write five paragraphs about how unbothered I am about other people not eating a thing I eat????

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are Impossible hotdogs as good as the burgers? I eat meat but like alternatives also.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Not sure about Imposible but I've had Beyond sausages and they are delicious.

Just about the same thing happened to the previous champion, Takeru Kobayashi. They should have an impossible-off.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I saw this as a ticker news update at the bar and was super confused.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Great, now my 4th of July is now ruined.

Dude gets himself kicked out of the Coca Cola drinking contest because he does endorsements for Pepsi.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

What a headline!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I wonder what Beard Meats Food will make of this.
