    I enjoy how that hotdog really doesn’t look edible, but it was created in 2014, so it’s anyone’s guess whether that’s a rubber prop or an actual state-of-the-art vegan hotdog from back then.

      looks like a perfectly normal tofu sausage to me

      From the color and shape it looks like it could be a Mini Wiener by Taifun. I couldn’t find any non-packaged images of it online, but here is an image of the longer version:

        Hmm, I gotta admit, I haven’t really dabbled with the sausage alternatives, so I was not aware that the wieners still look similar to that. I was comparing it to the other sausage kinds, which look virtually identical to the original these days…

          i don’t think they are supposed to mimic meat wieners

          there are probably other companies that make wieners that look and taste exactly like meat wieners

          taifun just makes good tofu products
