METneks

METneks is a fictional company that appears in the animated television series Futurama. It is depicted as a purveyor of artificial meat products, often with a focus on novelty or extreme flavors. The company's name is a portmanteau of "meat" and "neks," suggesting its synthetic origins and perhaps a connection to next-generation food technology.

Throughout the series, METneks products are frequently shown as unappetizing or even repulsive to the characters, despite their marketed appeal. Examples include "meat-flavored chewing gum" and "mystery meat" patties. The company's advertising often employs aggressive or misleading tactics, highlighting its dubious reputation. METneks serves as a source of humor and social commentary within Futurama, satirizing the food industry's pursuit of profit through often questionable means and the public's sometimes gullible consumption habits. The brand's presence underscores the show's broader themes of technological advancement and its potential for both progress and absurdity.
