It's getting ridiculous here in Sweden. Actual product names (they tend to use English, sometimes with intentional misspellings to get around regulations, I assume):

If I were vegan, I'd feel offended.
- shireboy 4y agoWas thinking this is going to lead to some cringey product names. "veak" and "vausage" for the uncreative and it goes downhill from there. Our family calls it "feat" for "fake meat"
- pkaye 4y agoI'm trademarking 5teak, 5ausage, Chee5e and Mi7k.
- Rodeoclash 4y agoSounds like what's on the menu at The Black Sun in Snow Crash
- franciscop 4y agoMi1k?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- shaky-carrousel 4y agoI'd go with "malk".
- cheese_goddess 4y agoI call bids on "Klim". Klim™ I guess Keats™ is taken, and I can't trademark Team™, but I'll try.
- TMWNN 4y ago>they tend to use English, sometimes with intentional misspellings to get around regulations As usual, Simpsons did it: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovfM7dvFto0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovfM7dvFto0>
- walrus01 4y agoCan I get some meet to go with my beaf? Maybe a snausage? Or perhaps a chik'n nugget
- synicalx 4y agoY'all got any of those chiggin nuggets?
- tpmx 4y agoCould I tempt you with some Chickened Out Chunks? https://www.citygross.se/images/products/08710522760321_D1N1_2021-11-26.jpg https://www.citygross.se/images/products/08710522760321_D1N1...
- bitwize 4y agoYou see some of these in the USA, too, for example, "Veggie Chik'n": https://www.morningstarfarms.com/en_US/products/meal-starters/morningstar-farms-chik-n-strips-product.html https://www.morningstarfarms.com/en_US/products/meal-starter...
- Spivak 4y agoOr wyngz to get around the fact that boneless wings are typically made from breast meat.
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoReminds me of one of my favorite King of the Hill episodes: "Not dogs" are hot dogs made of tofu Of course there is always "faux fu" for the tofu intolerant.
- herpderperator 4y agoIs it not possible to put heart emojis in HN comments?
- corobo 4y agoEmojis get stripped when you post the comment
- cheese_goddess 4y ago<3 <3 <3 ???
- aaaaaaaaata 4y agoThose are emoticons.
- iRomain 4y agoSo in French it could be: Steak végétal => Steakal or Stékal Saucisse végétale => Saucissal or Saucissal Done
- victorNicollet 4y agoThe vegan community in France already uses names like "Faucisse" and "Fauxmage" based on "Faux + Saucisse" and "Faux + Fromage". I believe there's also "Vromage" (Vegan + Fromage).
- iRomain 4y agoI like these as well!
- matthewdgreen 4y agoBusinesses probably don't like including the word "faux" in their product names.
- philwelch 4y agoThen they shouldn’t be in the faux product business.
- theplumber 4y agoThey should be fined for misleading advertising.
- remuskaos 4y agoI'm vegetarian, and I'm offended. Mostly by that god awful Alegria-like prictogram on the first product packaging. It's bad enough we have to see these hose-armed and hose-legged people pictograms from every tech company, but now they're on my food as well?
