To be fair, I've never tried it, but it has never appeared appetizing to me (despite my consumption of other fermented goods). But that doesn't matter when it comes to satire!

As a mycologist, you could help me come up with a tastier name for it. I vote 'shroom soda, especially since it implies it could get you HIGH. The kids like that.

Seitan sounds like the name of a shitty 90's black metal band.

Gluten is a word that makes everyone think of asses. Stop talking about asses when talking about food. They are not the same thing.

Tofurky makes me think you have some kind of foot fetish the Internet has yet to show me.

My feelings on kombucha are well known.

You bring up a good point.

Maybe it's morals, maybe it's just that these companies want to feel good about what they're doing, but why don't these companies try appealing to the broad spectrum of the general public? I know that they're marketing to a certain group of people, but if they would just leave out the things that are unappetizing about the products and play up the things people want to hear, or hell - even just lie about the products like other companies do - the world would be a healthier, happier place.
