A Burger King in Brooklyn, New York, made a serious blunder this week when it delivered Whoppers made of real beef to customers who had ordered Impossible Burgers, a meat substitute that entered the fast-food chain’s menu in April.

On its Seamless menu, a Burger King location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, advertised a version of the restaurant’s best-selling burger, the Whopper, made with Impossible Burger patties. Impossible Burger, of course, is a meat-substitute product that is known for having an incredibly similar taste to actual animal meat.
