The ‘Impossible Burger’ is amazing, or so I’m told. It’s a burger made in a sterile environment in a (gasp) lab! So why am I so curious? Because I can’t eat red meat anymore. If I can’t find the crazy things, I’ll have to wait until the real burgers change color. You know, like cheese.

Mmm, sounds yummy. I’m kidding, of course. It sounds disgusting, but the company says the look, color, texture and taste is just like a really good burger. We’ll see about that just as soon as I can find it. They’re harder to find than Easter Eggs my father hid when he was drunk. One year, he hid little airline bottles of booze instead of eggs.
