I'm glad these exist. Vegan pet products can be hard to find. Maybe I'm just a cynical middle-aged man, but since my dogs don't know who Snow White or Crush are I realize this is just to entice me to purchase them but in an underserved market, it's pretty superfluous... Ugh, the future is complicated!… Continue reading Disney Corporation sells vegan dog treats

Fried pumpkin seeds
After following this video to turn our pumpkins into puree https://youtube.com/shorts/Tj6Pgg4fWBE?si=dYCz4CGI1lN-OMG4 I then followed this video to fry the pumpkin seeds rather than bake them https://youtube.com/shorts/e4WfGxiheoM?si=psaNI4pZKwttunC0 I used less oil and I seasoned with salt pepper and rosemary. I put the rosemary in immediately with the sesame oil. I'm super happy with how they turned… Continue reading Fried pumpkin seeds
Trader Joe’s Sweet Cinnamon Filled Korean Pancakes
You never know when you're going to find an accidently vegan item at Trader Joe's. Hotteok, as the packaging explains, is a traditional Korean street snack.
Uptown Coffee Co, Maywood NJ
I finally wandered into Uptown Coffee Co on Pleasant Ave in Maywood, NJ. This casual coffee shop has a number of vegan options and deceptively comfy chairs. Today (I'm not sure if this is always the case), they have two vegan muffin options and a vegan roasted tomato soup. Pretty nice! They also have a… Continue reading Uptown Coffee Co, Maywood NJ
I love Just Egg BUT I won’t pay $6.79 for a frozen breakfast burrito
A fridge too far In most instances in life, there's a proverbial line. When it's crossed, I'm gonna make a thing about it - especially when it's in the name of profits. Look, you can't convince me that a frozen breakfast burrito, even one that's Just Egg based, is worth $6.79. On sale for $5.69?… Continue reading I love Just Egg BUT I won’t pay $6.79 for a frozen breakfast burrito
Burger King Impossible Burger meal price and small vs medium
I'm rarely in need of fast food. And just to be clear, I'm an out of touch middle-aged man. However, I am on TikTok and the internet in general, but even that did not truly prepare me for the greed-flation and shrinkflation at Burger King, a one two punch from which I am still reeling.… Continue reading Burger King Impossible Burger meal price and small vs medium
Just Egg just changed their packaging again
The previous version on the left had, I think, been a victim of its own cleverness. We get what a Just Egg is, of course, but the new packaging on the right eliminates this problem. Now, it clearly does what it says on the box. Also, Just Egg is fantastic and I love it.
Whole Foods Paramus NJ vegan items (October 3, 2024)
I didn't do a full store accounting, just a limited stop in the frozen section. The idea that Gardein products are on sale at $5.29 is MADNESS. I just got a bunch of Gardein products at Stop And Shop Teaneck for under $5 just the other day!
Impossible Sliders at White Castle in Little Ferry, NJ
🎵 Impossible! For a tiny little hamburger to become vegan sandwich! 🎵 https://youtu.be/wTwxMoWNa4Y Ok, I'll stop. This isn't news - in fact, I think White Castle has had Impossible Sliders since 2018, but it's worth mentioning. And if you haven't had them yet, then the thing you're probably wondering is how do they taste? I… Continue reading Impossible Sliders at White Castle in Little Ferry, NJ
The Vegan Death Rattle of Whole Foods Market, Paramus NJ
This image was generated by AI. I asked it create an image of a "whole foods market screaming in pain" and I guess that W and D certainly at least made me wince. A long time ago in a town, far, far away (Edgewater), I went to my first Whole Foods and had the delight… Continue reading The Vegan Death Rattle of Whole Foods Market, Paramus NJ
