The vegan burgers at fast food chains aren't really there to attract individual vegans, they are there so that groups of friends who have 1 vegan in the mix don't immediately exclude that chain from their choices because one person can't eat there. And also for non-vegans who wanna maybe try it out of curiosity.
My bff has been vegetarian for 8 years and for ages my whole friend group did not go to McDonalds bc of her, we'd pick other places that could please everyone.
very good point!!
I can say your best friend is so lucky to have you all 🥺
I agree with you, though in case of the Whopper I'd ask anyone, vegan or not, to just try it. Imo it is at least as good as the meat whopper, maybe even better.
sounds like good marketing
Wow..I am happy to know that people like this exist...(me a vegetarian)
I'm living for Ollie's facial expressions as Josh read him the blurb for the BK Burger 😂😂😂
I was about to comment the same thing
So perfectly animated 😂
L
Nah he needs to cut the judgement BS and shut up
hahaha hahaha yeah Hahaha hahaha
A big shout out to Josh for not calling Ollie an idiot even once in this episode! Well done, we're proud of you!
Yes I too am proud that Ollie was not an idiot in this video.
@@sebastianolsson9063 Ollie is never an idiot.
Ollie trying to rock the southern accent was a highlight for me...especially his spectacularly British pronunciation of plant.
He sounded much better than I expected. I guess he's seen enough American movies with bubba types in them.
💯
I was impressed!!
Honestly that what I'm saying. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was. He could have passed at some points 😂, like not southern but maybe Midwestern trying to do a southern accent
@@kenzh32 I'm in Nashville and it wasn't horrible ;)
As a born and raised citizen of Kentucky, I’d like to say that Ollie’s accent - while more broadly Southern than specifically Kentuckian - was not bad. I’ll be honest, was expecting something a bit more caricatured, but he did quite well. Definitely some accurate elements of Georgia and South Carolina accent in there.
I'm glad I skimmed the comments before commenting because I was going to say much the same thing. I'm NC born and bred and I was impressed. ( Bless his heart)
I also immediately went Georgia/SC!!! Good ear! ❤️🖤
As someone not from America who can’t tell the difference between southern accents, I thought it was spot on.
I thought the same (SC)! But was also impressed it sounded like a real southern American accent of any sort. From Tennessee but close enough to recognize Kentucky.
I am born and raised Kentucky, and he sounds something closer to South Carolina. But, I can't say that I haven't heard someone who sounds like him around here. Lol
Ollie's facial expression when Josh read the Bur'King Blurb and the Kentucky accent made me laugh non stop😂
I love the western accent! Definitely not Kentucky though lol😂
I’m from KY… I can say I’ve definitely heard worse. 😂
And he still pronounced the 'h' in herb
4:16 Ollie's "Kentucky" accent is hilarious! It's a mix of Southern, Texan, Midwest, and bluegrass Kentucky! 🤣
There's a movie with Sam Elliot where he is a radio commercial voice actor and that's what it reminded me of, although not as deep
As a non-USian I couldn't tell the difference between these, but I thought Texan would be considered Southern actually... Guess I was mistaken :)
In India, you will get a lot of vegetarian burgers probably not vegan and they are really good, it really depends country to country as in India a lot people are vegetarian so there are many options, so if you ever get a chance do try those.
Oh yes, I was just going to comment that, the McDonald's Veg burgers really are my favourite. I absolutely love the American Cheese Supreme burger from McD, which is yours??
@@nehapurba9295 the new gourmet burgers are good too with the piri piri spice and of course, what you said is a classic vegetarian favourite
I would assume there’s more vegetarian options since lots of people don’t eat beef which is the main thing for most of these companies.
@@nehapurba9295 mc spicy paneer 😃😋
@@rachelcookie321 all indian mc Donald's that I've been to does not have beef burgers in the menu
2:33 Ollies change of expression is golden 😂
vegan representative here who still eats a bunch of junk food cause it’s really just about minimising animal cruelty for me :) glad you liked the burgers and to anyone out there who needs to hear this: you don’t have to only eat healthy to become vegan and you don’t need to be vegan to try vegan food every now and then. every bit helps! :)
Burger king employee here to rain on your parade - the 'vegan' whopper, isn't actually vegan - it's broiled on the exact same broiler as the meat burgers, soaking in all of those meat juices and flavours as it goes through. Sure the PATTY may be crafted with plants and other vegan ingredients, however they are called plant BASED burgers for a reason, and the cooking process nulifies any veganity - unless SPECIFICALLY asked to microwave they told me when I began preparing them (the same microwave that heats up all the non vegan items so yeah still not really vegan even with the lesser option there.
There's a simple reason why it's the best mimic, and nobody should ever trust a meat server to provide a wholistic non meat product.
(though of course I definitely agree with the non cruelty perception and choice and live that unhealthy vegan life myself, just more home cooked)
@@SwagMonztr did you read what they said? They said they do it because of animal cruelty. How do scrap "meat juices" contribute towards animal cruelty?
@@SwagMonztr I as well as many other vegans don't really care for these technicalities as long as there are no animal based ingredients used. But it's a good thing to point out for people who are cautious about contamination.
@@SwagMonztr as long as a cow doesn’t have to die for my burger we straight
Big Ups Big Homie
Vegans aren't always vegans for health reasons
Yeah I'm that way. I just find flesh, and blood, and veins a really gross thing to eat. But I still love my junk food.
Ollie: This is amazing!
Josh: I don't know about amazing but it's cool.
Ollie: This is a UA-cam video. IT'S AMAZING!
😂😂😂😂
As a life long vegetarian (not vegan) I've eaten a LOT of vegetable burgers, some good, some not so good and some really good ones, I'll have to agree that as far as commercially available to the general public options, the Whopper is by far the best. It really comes down to the toppings and I'm an "all the way" guy - everything on it and ketchup, mustard, mayo and pickles. Of course a good, sturdy bun makes all the difference as well. By the way, Ollie's southern accent is pretty damn good! (I'm a southern boy as well). You should come to Charleston, SC and take it all in - the geographical beauty of the rivers and the bays and the ocean (and beaches) along with the stunning architecture, culture, arts and, most importantly, the FOOD! You'll see - come and visit.
I've been a vegetarian for eight years and the first years were rough when it came to dinner with friends because there weren't any options in big chains like BK and McDonalds, so I'm really glad they have something now. It's not something I eat regularly, but having the option now is really convenient.
And the best burger is from Burger King, BY FAR. Their vegetarian (not sure if vegan) nuggets are also bomb.

@@SwagMonztr where in the UK? Or US
@@SwagMonztr The local Burger King in my area refuses to microwave their Impossible Whoppers. They did at first for the initial 3 orders but the last 3-4 times I went they told me that they couldn't accommodate that. I also used to work at Burger King (back in the early 2000's though) and we used to cook the veggie burgers in the microwave, can't see why that is so difficult for the new vegan burgers?
Yes! I generally do do fast food but plant based Whooper is sooo goood. I could eat it every day. Nuggets are ok but I generally don't like stuff like that. Too dry and bland. Country burger is also very good. Their entire plant based menu is great.
In my country we don't have any of these restaurants except McDonald's and even McDonald's doesn't offer a McPlant here. Living vicariously through Jolly once again 🥲 The Whopper looked really good.
The Mcplant is still new over here! Maybe only a few weeks old… perhaps you’ll get it soon haha 😅
Well if Made in Busan is still in Busan, there’s a Shake Shack in 서면
the only thing i liked from mcdonalds was the mcplant with fries . but then canada got rid of it im crying lol
Regarding the comments in the beginning of the Video, I'm vegetarian and yes, even as a vegetarian you encounter that 5 AM drunk as hell moment where there's nothing better than fast-food, so yeah I'm very glad BKs vegan options exist (their plant based "chicken" is even better then the "beef")
Exactly, people have way too many preconceived notions about vegans, being vegan is not a personality fgs
@@gracepearson5905 yea, but it really doesn't help notions when so many are being militant about it.
@@Raphael-gd4ht I think most vegans aren't militant about it. It's just that the ones that are are the loudest, we don't hear from non militant ones because well they aren't militant.
I don't know any vegans personally but I think that's what it is, like with most things
@@Raphael-gd4ht To be honest I've heard way more people make fun of vegans than crazy vegans attacking others for eating meat

Ollie's diabolical face at the end when he knows he has completely disturbed Josh's sensibilities. Priceless! 😁
When you’re bored and a jolly just uploaded *CLICK*
Yesss
Same! I kept on refreshing my youtube recommended videos since nothing looks interesting. And suddenly, Jolly video popped up.
Ikr..me too...
I was so dizzy from writing my paper lol...and Jolly notif pop out...and yeayy!!!
Never have I ever, joining Josh and Ollie drools together when they eat in Jolly or 영국남자
I'm a vegan and I enjoy every content when you two eats and reviews food, but never had a chance to imagine myself eating it.
This episode is special, you guys finally make me wants to join you eating all the burgers!
Glad I have plant based whopper in my country, I think I'm gonna order one for lunch haha
Sorry u have to eat this stuff
@@seohyunjung2800 Why you feel sorry? What for?
The Plant based Whopper is NOT vegan.... Google it!
@@VidyaChandrika93 it's cooked on the same grill that the meat is cooked on.
For many vegans, they still want to support Burger King bringing plant based options to the market. It's for a limited time, and if the plant based options do well, they will make it permanent and likely make more efforts to be vegan certified in the future.
No animals are harmed in the making of the burger and that's the most important thing.
@@jacks2222 Putain de casse couilles mdr
The plant based whopper is hella good honestly
I'm not vegan but sometimes these do in a pinch! I had to fly internationally during the start of the pandemic and the only food available at the layover airport was BK with limited options. Got a Beyond Meat sandwich and it was great👍 I don't generally like burgers though 🤭
Same...I'll have to keep in mind that it's okay! (I generally avoid high sodium stuff before long flights)
Yeah, the "replacement" fast food options have gotten a lot better over the years. I mean, I used to like veggie burger back in the 80's and 90's, but only very specific brands. It's become a lot easier to get a decent veggie fast food option these days. And just to point out, I'm not vegan or vegetarian, I just like how some of the veggie options taste. heh
Agreed. It's nice as an option if you're in a jam and need something to eat to fill you for a few hours. I think the BK one was the best one compared to McD's, just for the taste alone.
It is Impossible not Beyond, I prefer Beyond texture and nutrition (it is pea protein not soy isolate) but the beat juice in it gives it a bit of a strange smell.
Ollie's Kentucky accent sounds like a New Yorker moved to Southern Florida and is trying to mimic a Texas accent....
So spot on. Well done.
Father Chris will be a great litmus test for the McPlant since he loves McDonald's so much.
you should ask Rev. Chris to judge the McPlant, let him judge the burger as the McDonald connoisseur
That music that plays when Jolly's logo comes at the beginning always cheers me up!
I’m not even a vegetarian, but when I go to BK, I always get the Impossible Whopper.
Same
It’s good to give your body a break from red meat when you get the chance
same
As a good ol'southern boy from South Carolina, I must give huge props to Ollie's southern accent while reading about the KFC Vegan Burger! Nailed it! It was awesome! Keep up the great job, boys!
You guys have no idea how jolly we'd feel everytime you uploaded something! You guys without a doubt, stay true to the name Jolly! Lotsa love!
As a Southerner, I'll have to say Ollie's southern accent isn't bad.
As someone who's mostly vegan, I'm glad that these options are out there now, especially for when you're with people who want to go and eat at these places!
1:15
"Can i just go for it?"
"Go. Please, please go for it."
The amount of politeness from both of them, man
i grew up in the south and ollie’s southern accent absolutely killed me
Honestly, the Impossible Whopper (that's what it's called in the US) is the only thing I get from Burger King and is one of my go-to fast food items
It's honestly better than the normal whopper patty. I love meat, and I can honestly say that the impossible whopper is a better eating experience than the normal whopper usually.
In my country it's called the vegetable whopper and it's so good I even crave it sometimes when I never even liked burgers. We also have vegetarian nuggets and a vegetable "long chicken" made from the same thing the nuggets are made from (I'm guessing) and it's really good as well
@@KhronicD I don't think I've had a regular beef Whopper but it wouldn't surprise me
@@martaribeiro96 honestly me too, my body will ask for it specifically pretty often, which never happens with other fast food
4:17 Ollie's "advertisement voice" is hilarious 😂
When I remember "imitation" meatfor vegan I remember tempeh, a food ingredient made from soybeans. It's one of the foods that comes from Indonesia but I saw in some vlogs which showed that in England there were many who made tempeh and sold it. Maybe you two are interested in trying fried tempeh.
I've been to vegetarian restaurants that used it, and enjoyed what I ordered. But I have to be careful about sodium
@@LindaC616 sodium 🤔? Please can explain to me what you mean?
I was wondering what salt was meant for but out of concern our perceptions were different. So I'm not sure if it's about salt. Oh I mean the salty taste.. not referring to the salt.
@@hestianurmasari no, just that they prepare it with a lot of salt
@@LindaC616 aaah so my guess is right. Then is that a restaurant from a country that uses tempeh as its dish? And may I know how the tempeh is cooked (sauteed, fried)?
Maybe next time you can try making a dish with tempeh at home. Or a simple one to make fried tempeh.
2:36 I LAUGHED A LOT OF THIS CLIP... OLLIE FACE AND THE MUSIC JUST CHANGED AFTER HE HEARD SWEET
I am glad you're finally trying some vegan burgers! There is so much good vegan food nowadays!
Still heavily processed though. I know several vegans and they eat a lot more processed foods than I do.
@@annainspain5176 vegans are not always searching that purpose.
I literally just watched The Half Blood Prince last night. Haha. Love the name.
@@annainspain5176 a lot of vegans don’t go vegan for health reasons but for moral/ethical reasons so their aim isn’t so much eating whole foods all the time as it is just generally refraining from consumption of animal products!! personally i like to have a balance between whole plant-based foods and vegan junk food to make sure i’m getting a variety of nutrients 😄
@@annainspain5176 you do realise this is a fast food video…
When i see a new thumbnail video on my front page i feel happy and know i'm going to laugh even when i'm sad
I don't care if it's the most silly video, or even if you just laugh about stupid jokes for 20 minutes i would watch all of it
It's almost like for a bit hanging out with friends laughing about anything
I'm really thankful to you guys~
This is one of my favorite jolly episodes
Josh: "The Colonel is dead, surely."
Me waiting for Olly to say: "I'm certain he's dead. And don't call me Shirley."
Wow Ollie's Kentucky accent is incredible! 😂
Hi, I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but when I go for a fast food burger I always order the vegan option!
I just feel like they taste better and the meat from these fast food chains is just something I'd rather not put in my body😂.
Anyways great video as always, love your content🔥

Thanks. I was just thinking about trying one of these.
as a vegan that sees your channel constantly, I am really grateful that you did this video.
Ollie’s southern accent is on point lol
0:13 hahaha my friend will give you a proper lecture if she heard you saying that irl. One of her biggest disappointments is when we go to a vegan place and they offer overpriced green salads. Yes, there are a lot of vegans that are into the health scene but in my experience the majority is vegan because of moral consideration such as animal welfare, Earth preservation, etc. Making sure all types of food and cuisine without exception are easily available in a vegan format is the main way those goals can be met (i.e. minimising the cognitive dissonance that comes from the completely valid mindset of “I want to eat what I like / what I’ve grown up with / what represents my cultural belonging” but do so in a way that is not harmful to others, to animals and to our planet)
Hearing Ollie's Kentucky accent makes me wanna watch you play an accents game , I feel like Ollie will nail that
honestly jolly makes me very jolly always look forward to your guys video no matter what video it is ty ❤
Their reactions are golden 😂😂
My faves are definitely McPlant and the KFC burger... unfortunately the vegan whopper isn't officially certified vegan because they cook it on the same grill as real meat... bit disappointing for those of us that can't eat it because of that 😭😭😭
You can ask them to clean the grill before cooking it
In Australia they apparently have a different grill for the burges at Hungry Jacks.
Most restaurants use the same grill. It is still considered vegan because you're not directly contributing to animal suffering. That being said - the vegan whopper uses impossible meat and while that is considered vegan now they used to test on animals. :/
@@jennifert8542 As someone who works in BKs as a contractor, not an actual BK employee. That is NOT going to happen. It takes at least an hour to break down the broiler and clean it properly. Many places don't do it right even outside of this specific interaction. Google "Nieco broilers" and look at how they're built. You can't just wipe them down.
Wouldn't cooking in a different/exclusive grill be kind of bad for the environment overall?
More electricity/gas consumption
Idk lol
I love the casual way that Ollie picks up and eats a bit of food that fell down into his lap :D
2:36 displays the faces and VO combination that just made me subscribe to this channel. Good onya!
The Impossible Whopper, as it's called here in the States, really is a good simulacrum of the beef version.
I'd love to see the McPlant -- but with a much better name -- over on this side of the pond.
Also, that accent was a pretty good simulacrum, itself. Props from an actual U.S. Southerner (Alabama).
As a vegan, I appreciate more fast food places having vegan or vegetarian options because sometimes I just want to eat with my family without having to make my own food. Being social usually involves food so having an option when going out with others makes me happy
Thanks guys and some good laughs there! Also, cheese is a no go for us lactose intolerant vegans! We don't have a Shake Shack in my area but it's good to be aware! ;D
What do you mean by "cheese is a no go for us lactose intolerant vegans", dont all vegans not eat cheese?
Goodness!!! I wish I be working with these guys right there. Sounds like so much fun and hard work! I have a crush on Ollie doing that Kentucky accent!! 😂😂
These videos bring me so much joy ><
Clicked so fast-
When I want a Maccies, but a big mac will make me feel guilty, I get a McPlant. It's genuinely not bad.
What a time to be alive for vegetarians/pescatarians! Especially those who have recently switched up their dietary choices -- with all these plant-based foods being introduced, definitely not going to "have it as hard" as opposed to even 5 years ago.
Goodness, I needed this silliness today. Thank you 😊
I've made a portabella mushroom burger once and it was so I could try it and it was pretty good!
We don't have the other menus from the chains here in Indonesia, but I've tried the whooper, and I kinda like it.
When I try it, I didn't miss my burger, I just enjoy the entire whooper 🍔
Whopper mbak bukan Whooper, whoop whoop... . Hhe.
@@satesup4353 ttp paham kan mksdnya?
@@natalinegloriana3430 hehehe paham2 tenang aja... .
Out of all these vegan options, I really liked A&W Plant-based nuggets but they were only available for 5? or 7days, a bit salty but it was good. I'm not a vegan but I just really liked nuggets 😆
yes!! that was one of my fav plant-based items
Love when these guys upload
Burger king in Aus(Hungry Jacks) has 2 options it took its veg berger and turned it into a vegan option then the vegitarian option with the new patty from V2 which Hungry jacks invested in. Also maccas has also tried here in Aus a few times and given up. not sure about their latest atempt though.
Kudos, Ollie, the "Kentucky" accent was at least several shades of Southern.
Ollie’s absolute devastation when he realised the shake shack wasnt vegan
Out of these, I've tried the Impossible Whopper and the Shroom Burger. Both are good. One isn't really a burger replacement, though. But, the Impossible Whopper was good enough for me to have a few times in place of a regular Whopper, just because.
Ollie's southern accent was surprisingly good but still made me laughed until I cried 😂😂😭🤣
As a vegetarian, this is the first usable consumer advice I have ever gotten from this channel. And it was still ridiculous.
gutted they didn't try the BK Chicken royale! One of the best ones out there!
1:19 i love how it took josh 2 seconds to get that joke
lol that expression shift as soon as he said "Flame Grilled ..... Soy--based Patty" was just priceless
as a vegan, i would really love if you guys did more vegan reviews!!
this isnt a vegan channel! follow vegan channel pls!
@@coraline1503 they literally did a video on a vegan food item, i should be allowed to express my desire for more similar videos in the future. veganism is everywhere, and you don’t have to be “a vegan channel” to do content on it
What the hell is a McPlant? In India we get McAloo Tikki burgers and those are heavenly.
Those sound good... we don't get that option in the States
Love everything josh and Ollie do! You help my anxiety 😌
LoL I didn't know I needed to hear Ollie's kentuky accent until now, LOVED IT !
McVeggie is amaaaazing! I'd totally switch a regular burger for that one (except CBO... CBO is everything)
Tried the vegan burger from Burger King in South Korea about a year ago and honestly they were really good!
Ollie doing the accent was the best part of the whole thing and how josh was about to bite it but kept on laughing
Ollie's impersonation of Colonel Sanders is exactly what I always thought the Colonel sounded like. 😂
I am really torn when it comes to vegetarian or vegan substitutes for meat. I have been a vegetarian for 20 years now, and even if it now is more because of how the animals are treated, it started because I stopped liking meat. So I can't eat substitutes options that are supposed to be as similar to meat as possible, for example beyond burger. I rather have lenthil or halloumi burgers. But I am still very happy that there are options like these for the people who want to eat meat but can't, or choose not to. So I hope that this video show that there are vegan and vegetarian options which taste good and not like grass.
One thing to keep in mind for the vegans out there is that Burger Kings plant-based whopper is cooked on the same grill as the meat burgers, so all the meat juices are mixed in with the burger
@@madmady8278 is that your justification of being a vegan, not paying for meat?
And I think the same happens with KFC's option
@@COBRAC0MMANDER I don’t see why that can’t be a reason- they aren’t paying for meat and aren’t intentionally eating meat or dairy products- not everyone has to be a strict vegan🤷♂️
@@madmady8278 yeah, exactly! Totally depends on the type of vegan you are.
@@COBRAC0MMANDER thats actually a great concept because you are not supporting the demand on the meat products but on the vegan products which leads to a shift of the general offer in general if a lot of people do it that way :)
You guys made it seem like all the burgers extra delicious. 😆😆😆
You guys are so natural, genuinely having fun too😁
What a jolly day to watch some Jolly.
u gotta try Dutch vegan fast food!!! they are really onto something there!
Please do more vegan/vegetarian content!!! Maybe even in the Korean cuisine! Let’s give that lifestyle more attention :)
this is not a vegan channel!
This! Even tho they are heavily enjoying meat (understandably because meat is huge in korean food culture) but it would be cool to hear more what korea has to offer to vegans these days!
Yes, neither is it one about meat so what’s your point?
They did do an entire video dedicated to vegan Korean food, if you haven't seen it yet.
Omg i love you guys for doing this
I never have a vegan burger before but Josh and Ollie make me wanted to try one!
As a vegan it's pretty annoying seeing how ppl have such low expectations of vegan food. They automatically think it tastes trash or something... These days vegan alternatives have improved drastically and there is so much to choose from. I hope ppl would just try them without any expectations
There is plenty of good vegan food. But dairy vegan alternatives are usually terrible and vegan cheeses are at best inoffensive in most cases (said as someone who can't tolerate lactose so I've tried a lot of them and they are absolutely nowhere near actual cheese and in a lot of cases are just horrible). The pea protein based meat substitutes are significantly better than soy based ones.
You're right, they've greatly improved. I for one grew up with tofu being like the main glorified vegan option so I think that alone scared many away. Since then I've changed to oat milk just because flat out it tastes better than cow milk. The vegan cheese I've tried has been passable, still has a bit of an aftertaste not quite like the real thing. I've tried impossible bugers, vegan chorizo, and chicken strips all of which surprised me at how much like the real thing they were. (Even my bf was fooled by the pea protein based chorizo and enjoyed it) In that regard you are 100% right. However, there is still the problem of availability. You go to big cities and I bet you will have an easier time finding that stuff in store... dairy nation in the midwest however... there's like 1 dairy alternative for cheese, butter, cream cheese, each... Thankfully milk alternatives at least are becoming more readily available.
Josh and Ollie haven't had good experiences with vegan food...
Ikrrrr
I think it's also that a lot of people don't realize that a huge amount of food we eat is vegan by nature. They hear "vegan" and assume you have to do some weird food wizardry to make the food. It also doesn't help that a lot of vegan people are so militant about it.
0:42 As a vegan myself, I can say without doubt I would very much NOT be glad to leave the Mcdonald's life behind!
Good job Ollie with the Kentucky accent...
I'm from Michigan but have family that live there. You did PERFECT.. At least that's how they sound to me. Lol.
Josh’s duck laugh and Ollie’s propensity for facial expressions…..never gets old XD
I freakin love the vegan whopperrrr
And I love that you guys made a video about vegan food again, i appreciate it!
Alright, so McDonald's actually has another vegan main, the spicy veggie wrap is fully vegan.
The burger king whopper IS NOT vegan, it is plant based but is cooked on the same grill as beef so it's covered in meat juices. They do have a vegan chicken burger though that is actually vegan.
And then we come to kfc that has a vegan chicken burger but beware of the fries/chips, these are not vegan at kfc as they are cooked with chicken.
It really depends on what type of vegan you are- some vegans don’t care about the product being cooked next to or on the same grill, so long as the actual meat is vegan.
The vegan police is here
Shake Shack do have a vegan option! It's a different smashed-style patty, I really liked it when I tried it.
Love you guys !
As someone that's been vegan for years, these burger options are all a bit of a gamble. Many times they arrive with meat traces on the patty, or the bun itself. I think it's targeting omnivores looking to eat a little less meat.
You so realise by saying omnivores you're talking about vegans too right? And other organisms since all humans are omnivores. You could have have just said meat eaters or something.

As someone who has also been vegan for years, who gives a shit about traces?
@@kiewea14 same I don't fucking care I'm not allergic
pure vegans need to die . i gotta have that cheese lol
Honestly one thing that bothers me about the vegan McDonald's burger (Here in Germany. Other countries ofc have other options etc.) Is that it replaces the vegetarian burger that already existed.
The veggie burger was a cheap option, like a simple cheeseburger, but now instead they only have the vegan burger, which is one of the more expensive options. Why couldn't they just have kept both options 😭 There are millions of beef burger and they don't remove them from the menu. But oh nooo one more vegetarian option? Absolute no go apparently.
As I'm in the US, I've never had the McPlant, but the old McDonalds veggie burger was pretty decent. I did used to get it occasionally.
I agree when you say they should've added it instead of replacing but I personally hated the previous veggie burger, it was made with quinoa and I honestly hated it.
@@martaribeiro96 Honestly I like them all, but I'm also not vegetarian, so even if I didn't I'd be fine (I just like to eat vegan or vegetarian options if available). But I have a lot of vegetarian friends, who all lament the missing veggie burger because they preferred it over the current vegan burger.
I mean in the end it's McDonald's loss, because other franchises(prominently burger king) have more than one option, so if we go to eat fast food, we'll go there instead.
