Wait, you mean *that* is vegan?

Sunday night, after the meeting, a few of the OTCA organizers went on a mini field trip to Safeway. The mission: Map out the store for next week's shopping trip. The reward: +1 EXP for finding things I forgot were vegan.

The evening's top treasure:











Safeway's store brand Fudge Stripes! They're not organic, they're not home made, and they sure aren't healthy. But they *are* free of eggs, milk, honey, and lots of the other animal ingredients in many store-bought desserts! They're also pretty tasty.

Grocery Store Treasure Hunt runners up included chocolate sorbet that tastes just like old-school Fudgesicles (dip a Fudge Stripe in it for bonus points!), Tresemme's large line of non-animal-tested products, St. Ives apricot face scrub that has been reformulated (yay!) to remove the lanolin, and chocolate-covered graham crackers. (If you've noticed a theme, yes I love chocolate, and yes, I love scrubby and shampoo-y things. And also parentheses.)

What surprisingly vegan-friendly items have you found on your own treasure hunt?

  1. Good to know! The fudge-dipped and fudge stripe 7-11 brand cookies are also "accidentally vegan!"
