Tattooed Chef. Ever hear of them? Let’s take a very brief tour.

This is a company which sells vegan food. Is your mouth watering yet? Well, I can put a stop to that with their slogan: For People Who Give a Crop.

That’s right. Of all the possible slogans they might have chosen, a food company landed on one which is a pun based on the word “crap.” Not only that, it actually takes a bit of brain processing to tease out the lame pun they are making. That is to say, if you give a crap, that means you care about the planet, so you eat food based on crops.

Get it? They even trademarked this travesty:

And if the image of “crap” in your mind wasn’t lucid enough, you can seal the deal with the images of their work-product on their website.

Plus, just to put a bow on the whole package, here is the eponymous tattooed chef. Doesn’t look like someone you’d want to tangle with, does she?

All of which leads us to the performance of the stock. As you can see below, this was one of the countless pieces of SPAC crap foisted onto the unwitting public during the lunacy of 2020/2021. As with every other SPAC stock on the planet, it shot higher, giving the founders and executives time to dump it all, after which time it ground away to the Land Of Capital Losses.

Between Tattooed Chef, Oatly, and Beyond Meat, I’d say the endlessly self-congratulatory vegans are having a lousy run of it on Wall Street, wouldn’t you?
