>>Nobody actually wants to eat artificial meat

Are you just projecting your own preference on others maybe? Both me and my wife are meat eaters and we happily get "meat-like" burger patties and sausages at least once a week - it makes for a nice break from having meat all the time, even though we both like meat. And the options nowadays are pretty good, so why not eat them?

No, he means that it never got PMF. Not that 0 people want to eat it. If it had PMF it wouldn't be called a flop.

What's PMF?

Also - "nobody" doesn't mean "most people don't". It literally means 0 people.

PMF = product market fit

>It literally means 0 people.

Not everything is literal.
