Maybe that's what happened? I had v2 later and liked it better?
The first time I had it the smell was off, and the outside was too crisp so it didn't taste like a burger - it was closer than a veggie patty or something but the experience was like eating beef that had something off with it (not pleasant). I was disappointed since everyone said you couldn't tell the difference and to me it was immediately obvious.
After being a vegetarian for a while I tried again and this time it was better. The smell is still a little off, but other than that with condiments and stuff inside a bun it's easy to forget it's not a real burger. Though it's hard to know if it's just because I haven't had one in a long time.
It satisfies enough of what it feels like to eat a burger to enjoy them at a cookout. It also makes it easier for me to be a vegetarian since burgers were my favorite food.
