- ... that a meat industry lobbyist said the Impossible Whopper (example pictured) was a wake-up call? Source: 'A glowing review of Burger King’s new plant-based Whopper comes from an unlikely source: a senior meat industry lobbyist who admitted the surprisingly realistic taste of modern fake meats is a “wake-up call” to livestock farmers.'[1]
- ALT1: ... that according to a Burger King executive, employees and customers could not tell the difference between an Impossible Whopper (example pictured) and a regular Whopper? Source: 'Burger King’s chief marketing officer, Fernando Machado, said that in the company’s testing so far, customers and even employees had not been able to tell the difference between the old meaty Whopper and the new one.'[2]

5x expanded by Mx. Granger (talk). Self-nominated at 21:35, 11 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Impossible Whopper; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Article is long enough and was 5x expanded in the past 7 days (630b to 11kb). Article is neutrally written, adequately cited, and only pings on Earwigs for some properly attributed quotes. QPQ has been completed. Image is a little underwhelming, but it is properly licensed. I don't think either of the two proposed hooks are going to work – they read too much like marketing copy. Are there other hooks that can be proposed? Morgan695 (talk) 03:02, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Morgan695: Thanks for the review. How about one of these alternatives?
- ALT2: ... that Impossible Whoppers (example pictured) were not Burger King's first veggie burgers? [3]
- ALT3: ... that Impossible Foods changed the shape of their burger patties to create Impossible Whoppers (example pictured)? [4]
- ALT4: ... that in 2019, beef Whoppers and Impossible Whoppers (example pictured) were sold together as a combo? [5]
- ALT5: ... that the Impossible Whopper (example pictured) was launched with an April Fools' Day video? [6]
- ALT6: ... that Burger King was taken to court over Impossible Whoppers (example pictured)? [7]

- I'll leave it up to the promoter to pick the hook, but I think either ALT3, 6, or 7 are the best options. Morgan695 (talk) 04:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
