OMG this is great! I found myself nodding my head to most of those things. The deserted island one is the best! And of course the protein pic.

Here is a fun game to play. Make some mention of "vegan oreos" to an omnivore. Give yourself two points when you hear "eww", "disgusting", "gross" or similar. Give yourself one point when you hear "that doesn't sound like it would be good" or similar.

Great article. I must add it to my favourites even if I'm not a vegan !

I like the mushroom one and the one about the Boca burgers which may have some truth to it ! I had a Sainsbury's vegetarian burger last night and thought that it really did taste like beef !

Oreos are one of the worst cookies that I have ever tasted. There are other biscuits/cookies that are also vegan that
are never mentionned !

I do quite like uncooked tofu, straight from the fridge.(I'm not vegan)

But I like the texture of mushroom. Maybe it's because I've never eaten unprocessed meat, but I quite like meaty textures.

The 'ingredient list' thing is SO true! Boyfriend will study one for five minutes before declaring it vegan friendly, and I'll give it a quick glance after and find the hidden milk

The deserted island pic is hilarious. Thanks for sharing!

I haven't forgotten my Vit B12 supplement but can't see the deserted island.

ROFL! I love the "tofu package opener." I actually didn't know that Pilsbury crescent rolls were vegan. Not that I would likely eat them, but still, nice to know if I'm at some family function (where these might be prepared), I can have one.

Read the ingredients - they have a ton of different types, and a lot of them include butter.

Indeed, that's why I never thought they were vegan because so many other varieties have nonvegan indredients.

 

[RascalsMom]

The "low fat", "original", "butter flavored" and etc all have different ingredients. I've found store brand vegan ones, a few times. Not sure if the pillsbury had milk or if I just wasnt willing to pay what they cost vs store brand so never checked them.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

I couldn't relate to most of them, I've clearly not been vegan long enough!

A couple made me laugh though.

I eat those crescent rolls that are vegan whichever ones those are. I eat all of them.

Didn't know Doritos or SaraLee cherry pie could be vegan.
Good to know

Yes I seen that list and thought of the forum thanks for the thread.

I like seasoned tofu raw out of the package, but plain I need frozen, thawed and cooked. I also like the meaty texture of mushrooms and meat substitutes. I think the majority of meat substitutes and even some vegan cheeses taste like the real things.

I love Braggs and it's one of my staple food condiments. I despise Veganaise though, but I've always hated the texture of mayo.

Have you tried the high-protein tofu? It might change your life. I used to say the same thing, til a friend introduced me to high-protein tofu. He thought we were all making fun of him because it was so ******* awesome straight out of the package, but we were just in awe.

No I've picked it up in the store many times and was curious about it, but I always put it back and got my usual regular tofu. I didn't realize there was such a big flavor difference between the high protein and the regular tofu.
