F*ck Boca Burger brand

[Deja Q]

At your grocer's, it's $4 for 4 patties. Seemed on par with the bogus-burger industry.

But at Sams Club, it's a 16 patty pack for $8.88.

And Sams Club won't take credit or debit cards. (I had a guest pass, and the only thing worth using it for was the Boca patties. Nothing else was even remotely that much of a great savings, and the 64oz packages of broccoli had cost MORE than the grocer's brand. And they're very selective in their computer/eectronics area. Amusigly, they had a 36" wide HDTV plasma set for $2499 but the picture quality was shit. Many plasma screens have a blocky look to them (though others look perfect), but this Samsung set was worthless. I pity nobody who is dumb enough to buy it...)

F*ck sams club too. They're as much of a joke as walmart, except you have to spend $35 to get those mostly vaporware discounts (in the form of cash only, they don't even do debit cards).

1. Are boca burgers any good? I have been curious but strangely afraid

[Deja Q]

2. They're tasty, but I'll be happy to eat dead farm poultry instead...

I always thought $4 for 4 patties was a lot (the 'health food' biz has a habit of fleecing its consumer base). But today I saw the proof. The bastards are fleecing their customers. Big-time.

Gardenburger brand is the best; partly because it's 100% organic and thus almost worth its price.

3. Good but way overpriced...how much can soybeans be these days?

4 patties for $4 plus...come on.

[Deja Q]

4. It's true though. Indeed,

you'd be amazed at what 1oz of soy-based snack chips costs.

Atkins must be rolling in his grave. Rolling around on his mattress of money.

7. I'm a vegetarian and I do not care for Boca Burgers.

The Morningstar brand is much tastier.

8. Are you damning by faint praise? Or are they really good?

IS there a really good one? What do they taste like, compared to the former cow product?

15. Gardenburgers, out of Portland have some tasty ones

I switched after Kraft bought Boca in 2000

16. I agree. They are my least favorite brand

Veggie Patch (refrigerated, not frozen) makes a tasty burger too. Though Costco doesn't seem to have them anymore :-(

12. Ah, the cigarette company. Thanks much for the edification.

They can wrap up their dollar bills and smoke 'em where the sun don't shine.

11. I agree with you on the plasma TV thing

Chech out LCS if you want a truly great television.

[Deja Q]

13. Heh. That samsung was so bad,

it made a standard TV set playing a 2nd generation VHS tape look pristrine by comparison.

They were playing the Star Wars Empire Strikes Back DVD and, whew boy, even the foreground details were fuzzy. Background details were horrendous.

I'd be embarrassed to have set it up.

I prefer the HDTV back-projection sets. Better viewed with the lights off, but the glass sets (my #2 choice) are heavy and plasma and even LCD are expensive and of varied quality. And, especially with LCD, I will not tolerate even a single dead pixel.

17. Soybean prices....Iowa....$4.83 per bushel

How many soybeans get mushed into one patty?
