Definitely a thing. Vegan can be hidden somewhere on some products, or they might use different language.

I ran an experiment a few years ago at a party I hosted. I had two trays of Oreos. One labeled 'Oreos', the other labeled 'Vegan Oreos'. Now, Oreos are vegan, but aren't labeled as such. I had to refill the standard Oreos a couple times throughout the night. The 'Vegan' labeled tray ended the night with more than half still there. Vegan definitely plays a role in sales, and not always for the best.

Not a randomized double-blind test, but science enough.

Huh. I always thought the white stuff was derived from milk

That’s why it’s spelled creme and not cream. The FDA has standards for milk content in anything labeled cream, but creme doesn’t mean anything.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
