Meatlike product?
Heh, I have to wonder what my cheap lentils and soy I eat is made out of?
-
There was a great SR2(v?) device that allowed runners to buy a soy food-maker, complete with texture and flavour enhances to spit out anything from a Hamburger to Thanksgiving dinner.
Looks like Hamburger, tastes like a hamburger...but is actually Tofurkey....

Not that I'm defending Taco Bell (partial to Chipotle and Wendy's Spicy Chicken, myself), but here's the rebuttal ad (http://perezsolomon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/TACO-BELL-MEAT-BEEF-LAWSUIT-NEWSPAPER-ADS.jpg).

Now why, oh why Mr.FastJack would you inject facts into these proceedings?!

I'll have a corned beef on rye, hold the mustard.(http://www.wiviott.net/groucho.gif)

Someones fibbing then. I don't see why a law firm would put themselves in the way of that defamation suit unless they had good evidence.

Currently, TacoBell are defending a class-action suit on the issue.
They've now taken out the rebuttal ad to minimise the bad press.
Once all the beef has hit the fan, so to speak, they'll regroup and counter-sue for defamation and damages to their brand name.
-
I chalk it all up to someone thinking they could make a quick buck with a lawsuit. They probably thought "Taco Bell will just pay out a settlement so it doesn't go to trial", but it back-fired on them.
It all sounds like the rumors 'bout 30 years ago that McDonald's was using kangaroo/worm meat instead of beef (http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/wormburg.asp) in their burgers.
-
It made for good reading a week or two ago when this first broke. The part I enjoyed the most was when the USDA said the water content normally found in ground beef was only about 5% off of what the suit claimed.

For the record, Kangaroo meat is very tasty ;D. It's extra good in a stir fry (bit tougher than beef, but has a stronger flavour).
There are more than a few Kanga-burgers for sale down my way ;)
-
MMMMM Kanga-burger. :o
Next marsupial food item I want is a Koala-steak.

Drop-bears prevent that from being feasible. :P

*laughs* The funniest thing I saw in any Shadow-run book EVER was the fact that they've introduced drop-bears as a HMVV-infected Koala in Running Wildtm.
I damn near fell off my chair from laughing....
For the record, though. You can still scare a tourist or two with a good Drop-bear (http://www.dropbearaware.com/) story. Even having the internet on a phone doesn't stop a few people getting suckered...

We'll drink whatever else is there, but Beer statistics are easier to find....

-
lol well in that case i have some absinth :P
Doesn't everybody?
Note: The sugar cube filtering is OK, but gives the Absinthe a very strange flavour (not just sweeter....it's hard to describe).

I like the TB lounge rebuttal.Start with 100% real beef and flavor till it ain't beef anymore :o
What turned me off to TB was an event when I was a jr High student. I went to a TB Lounge with my GFs family and while standing in line I watched the guy who slung the "beef" scrape the counter of the dried "Beef" and then dump it backin the product being served and stir. Only time in my life I actually lost my appitite. :o

For the record, Stuffer Shack are convenience stores chain, not restaurants.

They are if you have the right AR.

In the 2070s, it's called a Soy Processing Unit, or SPU, and is the central appliance of any homes kitchen.

True but they are "famous" for their soy "food" and more gamers know them than the newer (cannon wise) McHugh's, so I went with what'd get my point across.

Someones fibbing then. I don't see why a law firm would put themselves in the way of that defamation suit unless they had good evidence.
Just a little FYI. Lawyers make money regardless if they win or lose. Someone fronted the cash for the lawsuit, and the lawyers gladly took it. And Taco Bell's lawyers gladly took TB's and defended them. And then the suit was completed, and the lawyers (on both sides) got their fees based upon the length of the proceedings.
With money like that, who wouldn't want to take the case?

Anyone who has ate at Taco Bell? lol

I hope they bring back the talking chiwowa as the spokesperson of stuffer shack bell. ;D

Its more like convenience stores with a fast-food counter :)
-
So a 7-11. :P
"Mmmmmmmm, Nuke 'n' Serve AzTexMex Burritos." "Aw, man, Pequeño, you know those give you gas! Troll gas is the worst gas, and we're going to be in that van all day long." "You got a gas mask. And I have AzTexMex Burritos!"

Stuffer Shacks are kinda like Nerps. They're whatever you want them to be at that particular point in time. It actually wouldn't surprise me in the least if they had 'restaurants' attached to a lot of them, particularly since it's dirt simple to install an autocooker and a few plastic tables to churn out soypatties and the like. I suspect that the only reason we don't see more of them in North America now is because of pesky food regulation stuff, something that's not a huge concern in 2072.
-
Hell, 2050! Especially as we know AZT owns Stuffer Shack, and can easily grease whatever wheels they want to boost revenue.
I see Highway-Side Stuffer Shacks like that, with the ones in the city being descendants of 7-11s and Circle-Ks.

Stuffer Shack: Where else can you find auto parts, electronics, ammunition, booze, and catfood in the same aisle?
-
Canadian Tire.
As for fast food, IIRC, McHugh's is the big chain in Shadowrun, having very high security. If I ever GM again, I plan on running a few games where the Mr. Johnson meets there.

Do we now queue in more 'Food Fights'?

Lol, that would be hilarious I'll have to think of a way to bring that up in game.
Maybe have the runners get hungry and head to a Stuffer Shack, when they arrive the parking lot is packed and there's a gunfight going on inside. Above the door is a ARO that says now serving number 17. One of the groups is debating staying or going to do a run with the arguements of "I don't want to miss our turn" vs. "We're number 45 we have time".

There are a lot of good runs around this. I've had several spontanteous sessions erupt when runners went cruising to the Stuffer Shack.
I still grin whenever they say they're going to pull in for a meal, and just wait to see what trouble they do next.
It's like the gratuitous bar fight scene in any action movie. Sometimes, it just has to happen ;D
