Vought A Burger via Fooji

I ... don't know where to start on this one.

Ok, so let's start with Fooji.

"Fooji helps the world's most beloved brands acquire and engage fans through award-winning giveaways, sweepstakes, and promotions. Simple, engaging, and turnkey."

Fooji basically comes up with quirky innovative social media based promos to make a big splash for a brand.  They often have some kind of giveaway on Twitter, in specific cities, randomly announced, with very limited availability.

Ok, now let's talk about Vought A Burger, a fake fast food restaurant.  Not fake as in a ghost kitchen, but fake as in ... not real, made for TV.  Wait, no, let's back up.  First, we need to talk about The Boys, a Prime Video animated series, with a follow up, The Boys Presents: Diabolical.  To promote the launch of Diabolical, they created a commercial for Vought A Burger, to introduce it.

And so ... the next stage, naturally, is to actually start delivering from Vought A Burger, to people in a few cities, through a Fooji promo.  Got it?  I somehow managed to "score" one of these deals, with basically NO CLUE what was coming my way.

The process was pretty simple: I tweeted the hashtag, got a magic link, filled in my address, and then, the next thing I knew, a Doordash delivery driver was on my doorstep with the prize: A Little Super Meal.  Yeah, wait, what?

Little Super Meal - Beef. $10.

The Little Super Meal is available in either beef or vegan versions, I opted for beef (which, um, is 61% beef? Not sure what the rest is.  Or if that is a joke?  I have no idea).  It is normally $10.  That is, if it was real?

Every meal comes with a Big Homie Jr Burger, Hero Fries, and, um Liquid Death, which turns out to be just berry flavor sparkling water, in a GIANT branded Vought A Burger box.  The box it came in looks like a happy meal, but, um, it was HUGE, which is comical given the small junior burger and fries inside, also in Vought A Burger branded packaging.  My Liquid Death was "Berry It Alive" flavor, which seems to be a real company.  Also included were some Diabolical stickers.

It was fascinating, it was amusing, and ... my meal was stone cold.  I have no idea where it really came from, who made it, or if they followed any basic food safety standards.  Literally, no clue.

Hero Fries.

The fries were thin, kinda boring, but kinda classic fast food fries.  They came with 2 packets of ketchup.  They weren't seasoned at all, were limp, and stone cold.  Clearly, I needed to heat them up to evaluate.

As served, they definitely were no "heroes", although at least they weren't oily or greasy.  *+.

Once I heated them up though in my toaster oven, and got them crispy, I did quite enjoy them, just, classic fast food thin style fries. They hit the spot. *** once heated.

The Big Homie Jr. Burger.

"1/4 All-Beef Patty, American Cheese, Pickles, Onions."

The burger was a mixed bag.

It had some redeeming elements.  The iceberg lettuce was fresh and crisp, the slices of tomato were red and juicy, the cheese was melty, and the special sauce generously applied, and there was a dash of mustard too.  The bun was soft.  Mine didn't have pickles as described, but it had the sauce, lettuce, and tomato instead.

The burger though ... it was kinda burnt to a crisp, well, well, well done, and thin.  But, the rest of it wasn't bad.  Except that it was stone cold.

**** for the toppings, but the patty was pretty bad.  **+.
