OPINION: The Hound hears that international fast food chain McDonalds has quietly ended its brief and underwhelming experiment with plant burgers.
After rolling out a patty made of vegetables in hundreds of its stores across the US in early 2022, the world's most profitable burger chain has pulled the pin on the fake burger.

However, the only disaster was financial and in early August - a mere six months after its launch - McDonald's stopped producing the 'animal-free' burger, which used a fake beef patty from Beyond Meat.
Apparently, it was rolled out in roughly 600 stores in February to gauge customer demand, but McDonald's American customers voted with their feet.
