It’s weird to think about it. I was born in '87 and grew up hearing ahout the distant '60s and '70s as though they were this mythical, out-of-reach time in which my relatives reminisced. They even came with those old, shitty polaroids that really sold the vibe. Now it’s 2026 and people talk like the late ‘80s were a lifetime ago. Then I realize that from young peoples’ perspective now, that time period is even further away than the '60s were back when I listened to my parents talk about them.
I think the late, great Bozo the Clown said it best when he said, “WWHHHAAWT DA FFFFFFUUUUUCK…”
Meat alternatives are getting good, but for fuck’s sake, stop frying them in the same oil as fish/chicken or grilling them where the burgers cooked. They have to figure that dilemma out if they ever want vegetarians and vegans to buy this shit. I’ll eat it because I’m into eating whatever. But my wife (lifelong vegetarian and vegan for a few of her years) who loves Beyond products has yet to try a single fast food version because it’s always the same situation. Prepared exactly where the meat is, and often comes out tasting like fish.
