지난주말 동네 버거킹에서 늘 먹던 임파서블 버거를 주문하려는데 메뉴에 없더라구요. 일하는 분이 여기뿐 아니라 다른데도 마찬가지로 discontinued 되었다고 하시더군요. 그래서 온라인으로 근처 몇군데 찾아보았는데, 정말 없더라구요.

검색해보니 이런 기사가 있더군요. https://www.vegpreneur.org/blog/is-burger-king-removing-the-impossible-burger (구글 제미나이에게 부탁한 세줄 요약)

• Burger King is considering removing the Impossible Whopper, a popular plant-based burger option.
• There is a growing demand for plant-based options, and a petition has been launched to keep the Impossible Whopper on the menu.
• This suggests that Burger King's decision to remove the Impossible Whopper may not be well-received by customers.

그래서 홈페이지 ContactUs에 (따지듯이) 질문을 했는데 오늘 답장이 왔습니다.

Thank you for reaching out to our Guest Care Team. I'm happy to provide you with additional information regarding a recent change to our menu at Burger King.

The Impossible Whopper is temporarily unavailable at select U.S. restaurants in New Jersey and Charlotte. It will return to these locations sometime early next year, and remains available at all other participating restaurants nationwide.

We recognize how the Impossible Whopper has been a meaningful option for many of our guests and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. While this item will no longer be served at your local Burger King for the time being, we have made note of this feedback to be taken into future consideration.

We appreciate your understanding and sincerely hope you continue to enjoy the variety of options we currently offer as well as stay tuned for new ones to come!

가끔씩 애용하던 메뉴였는데 없어지지 않아서 다행입니다.
