Even more food news: Looks like Burger King will be mass-marketing a new vegetarian Whopper. They call it the Impossible Whopper, taking a note from the folks who make the patty: Impossible foods.
Foodies say the test in St Louis went so well, the company plans to roll the burger out nationally this year. CNN Business reports the Impossible Whopper is supposed to taste just like Burger King's regular Whopper. Unlike veggie burgers, Impossible burger patties are designed to mimic the look and texture of meat when cooked. The company plans to expand to more markets "in the very near future" before making the sandwich available nationally --and Burger King has around 7,300 locations-- by the end of the year.

And you might want one of these on your list for the holidays. Turns out Samsung has developed a new, 43-inch TV which can be tilted vertical or horizontal. Sure, you watch TV on a horizontal screen, but the geniuses at Samsung believe millennials will use the TV to plug in their smartphones and display their vertical pictures so everybody in the room can see 'em --and not on that itty-bitty smartphone.
The Samsung Sero also comes with 60 watt speakers so you can stream music when you're not using it as a big-ass digital photo frame. It'll supposedly run ya around $1600 bucks.
