Incogmeato™ by MorningStar Farms Enlists Spokesanimals to Challenge People to Eat Plant-Based Ahead of Labor Day Cookouts

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Aug. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Incogmeato is the latest challenger in the plant-based category here to show skeptics there is nothing to fear about plant-based… unless you're afraid of big flavor. But while sixty percent of Americans want to eat more plant-based¹ many are scared that it won't taste as good as meat. That's why, this Labor Day, Incogmeato is enlisting spokes-animals to challenge taste skeptics to try Incogmeato burgers, brats and sausages – and giving away free product coupons as incentive for people to try them. Why not, afraid you might like it?

Some of Instagram's most beloved animal influencers including @SammiTheChicken, @Prissy_Pig and @BuckleyTheHighlandCow are endorsing Incogmeato as the brand they can finally get behind. This week the spokes-animals are going undercover in Incogmeato's signature bowler hat, monocle and mustaches to encourage customers to face their fear and try Incogmeato's delicious plant-based proteins that look, cook and taste just like meat.

"We're challenging people to try plant-based and see how delicious Incogmeato really is," said Sara Young, General Manager, Plant-Based Proteins at Kellogg Company. "And who better to convince skeptics than animal influencers? It's brings Incogmeato characters to life – and gets Incogmeato on the plates of skeptics in a really unique way."

Starting today, just in time for the lead up to Labor Day and end-of-summer barbecues, the disguised animals will appear throughout social media and pose a simple question - what are you waiting for, afraid you might like it? Incogmeato is giving away thousands of free product coupons to those who accept the challenge.
