> It would be annoying if there were articles written every time a new restaurant started carrying them. Yes, I kinda feel like that is the case. I don't mean just announcements though, the burgers themselves have "version numbers". And it used to be you only could get them in the flagship stores, which is where I first had one. I think it cost sixteen dollars. I'm referring to all of this. With Burger King, there already was a big to-do about how they have these, but I guess that wasn't the real marketing push, this is. A burger joint having improved veggie burgers is the sort of thing I find it reasonable to hear about... once.

You're right that the BK partnership has already been covered. This happened when they launched their pilot in St. Louis, and this is the follow-up announcement that they're going nation-wide. I can see how this comes across as a bit much, although this second announcement is more relevant to people (like me) who live somewhere else in the US. Personally I don't mind the version numbers. It's not something we're used to in food, but presumably other companies like Soylent do it. (Coke and Pepsi also do it with their various iterations of regular and diet soda.) BTW, I have no idea why your comments are showing up as dead right after posting. Presumably no one is flagging them that fast, so maybe it's based on prior comments or something? I've been "vouching" them so they show up for everyone.
