Veganism: there’s a lot of it about

With veganism still very much A Thing, plenty of retailers have had a go at improving the range of vegan-friendly products they carry in-store. Often this can mean having to go to specialist suppliers, but it turns out that many of the products you probably already stock are unintentionally vegan.

For some unexplained reason, comparison website Uswitch has been trawling c-stores and supermarkets in search of common products that are accidentally vegan.

So, time to test yourself. How many of these products did you know were vegan? Jammie Dodgers, Warburtons Crumpets, Fruit Pastilles, Coco Shreddies, Kettle Sea Salt and Balsamic Vinegar Crisps, Cadbury Bournville Plain Chocolate, Jacobs Cream Crackers, Lotus Biscoff Smooth Caramelised Biscuit Spread, and Mr Kipling Apple and Blackcurrant Pies.

And not forgetting Pot Noodle Chow Mein.

That’s the ticket

Hat’s off to a Londis store in Weymouth for this bit of footyinspired creativity. Was is just bizarre luck? Or perhaps a staff member with too much time on their hands? You choose.

Gazza drops by

Meanwhile, Londis Stour Road in Christchurch had a day to remember when two unlikely things occurred on the same day: England beat Germany at football and Paul Gascoigne dropped into the store.
