I wouldn't call it ironic that they stock the fake meat with the real meat. It's designed to look like meat and compete with meat. Well if I was the store manager out of respect for my customers I wouldn't put it near the meat.

irony - (Gk - dissimulation) First recorded in Plato's "New Republic" where it had approximately the meaning of a glib and underhand way of taking people in.
For the Roman rhetoricians, (in particular Cicero and Quintilian) ironia denoted a rhetorical figure and a manner of discourse, in which, for the most part, the meaning was contrary to the words. This double edgeness appears to be a diachronic feature of irony.
I almost never use this word; primarily because I don't fully understand its meaning.
