    I ate the onion - these abominations aren’t real - they’re an invention by Justin Things on Instagram.

    Just when you thought the US was stretching the definition of “food” to its breaking point…

    Edit: look at the wall-e chair fatty motherfuckers downvoting me for saying that a pig raised in a cell in a factory, pumped full of hormones and antibiotics, whose soft tissue was water-blasted off by an undocumented immigrant child, before being converted to a slurry, mixed with a load of preservatives, colouring, flavours, and other bullshit to turn that meat blue, and make it taste like an entirely fuctitious “blue razzberry” (which is distinct from a raspberry), then extruded into a plastic skin is pushing the boundaries of food. I’m guessing the expiry on this product (I don’t think they can legally call it meat) is months away.

      I want you to know that you’re being downvoted not by these imaginary fatties, but because you can’t identity an obvious joke and are whining about downvotes

        Thanks - I appreciate you trying to explain it to this idiot, but I’m still not sure I get it… These dogs are a very real thing (other than the ho-ho-hotdogs I assume).

          Are they actually? There was a relatively convincing comment that pointed out that hand in each photo is identical which means it’s probably photoshopped.

            Actually no - after looking a bit further, I ate the onion on that one - they’re a fabrication by the Instagram user Justin Things. I was sure I saw the freedom franks on shelves around July 4th in Utah a few years back, but stand corrected.

            That’s not to say there’s not a good number of people trying to make this stuff, but there’s a big difference between that and it being a marketed product.
