I'm fascinated by Yo! Egg's "world's first plant-based poached egg."

Like, how do you cook it? I assume it's sold fully formed. Do you still poach it? Is the yolk solid until heated? If not, can it solidify when heated? What is the market for poached eggs?

Coming soon!
The Sunny One
The world's first plant-based fried egg

Okay, the sunny egg is a substance that fries like egg white topped with a liquid yolk pod, so the poached egg must be the same yolk pod encased.

And the poached egg casing must be a different egg white substance, because otherwise, Yo! Egg could just sell artificial raw eggs.

Coming soon!
The Boiled One
Unlike anything you've seen before

I imagine this is the poached egg casing with a yolk truffle inside.

Idea: Plant-based dog meat.

  • "I'm on all the dating apps, but haven't swiped right once. I can't get past the profiles. Does no one understand correct grammar, dangling modifiers, sentence fragments, using the word 'anyways' as a transition… It's 'anyway'! There's no 'S'! And as you know, nothing turns me off more than reckless disregard for language." (Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special, 09 Feb)
  • Etrigan on a swan boat (Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine's Day Special, 09 Feb)

    "No. No, no. God, that's not the correct usage of 'begs the question.' You're not supposed to just use it in place of 'raises the question.' It is to be used only to identify flawed premises, as in, 'The American public's acceptance of 'anyways' because 'everyone does it already' really begs the fucking question."

Erinem?

Born Erin Emily Wheeler, Erinem gets her artist name from a combination of her first and middle name.

Erinem is often asked if her artist name has any relationship to Eminem. She states that the similarity between her name and Eminem's is a product of coincidence, not design.

She's influenced by Detroit hip-hop, but her name is a coincidence?

She also had the privilege of working with D12's Bizarre.

Her previous EP, Y.B.A.L.A., received rave reviews.

Clearly, nomenclature is not one of her strengths.
