    True, but it's akin to calling a soy burger meat. No matter how much it is explained, it still ain't meat and this ain't crab. Marketing BS cracks me up sometimes.

    Just like somehow they get away with calling something that is fish, but isn’t Walleye, Walleye around here. Never have understood that one.

    Along the same line as Tom's head-scratching grocery store sign, I saw this one last week and had to question it. The bin was empty so I didn't have a product to compare it to.

    That reminds me of the one where the wife stated that a dashboard showed a stick figure of a man on a toilet....she couldn't figure out that it said -4 degrees.

    Some people's kids...

    This is how you end up living in the shed - your wife asks for a Kitchenaid and you give her this. In front of her friends.

    Heck, Doc....it probably is somewhere. Grass fed Impossible burgers would be next in line for the BS marketing campaign.

    At least they are all natural and not processed. :*

    Believe it or not, there is nothing "wrong" with that setup. Supposedly the lugs are stronger, and they sell them for performance.
