i don't wish to be picky but do you know that although Pringles are vegan as far as ingredients go, they're made by Procter & Gamble (massive animal testers)?

good news about the chocolate digestives! :) the only other brand i've seen is Rakusen's and they're about £1.50 a pack.

I've seen something similar to pringles in the corner shop that aren't actually pringles. I will buy them and judge them accordingly.

[pie]

hadn't thought about the makers of the pringles, feel bad now

[bradders]

the pringle issue is something of a debate as there is question over boycotting whole companies vs steering them in the right direction through purchasing their good products, it's a decision for each person to make themselves.

please don't feel bad!
we all have our own criteria with these things - persoanlly i take medicine made by a horrible pharmaceutical so i wouldn't feel crappy about buying Pringles :cool:

[Gorilla]

it is down to the individual when it comes to boycotting particular companies, but i think there's a difference between accepting having to take medication for one's health and choosing to eat a snack made by a company that funds a large amount of animal testing just because they taste nice.

just my opinion, not getting at anyone. i merely pointed out who the makers of Pringles were for anyone who didn't know.

[cobweb]

i do see your point Gorilla (personally i hate Pringles anyway so it's an easy choice for me! :D), i have just got to the point where i wonder what the point of boycotting is?.
If i could totally do it, and ONLY buy from ethical vegan companies, then i would most certainly do so, but otherwise i can't see the point in, for instance, supporting Tesco, and boycotting pharmaceuticals.
My opinion can and may change though, it has been known :rolleyes:.

[Gorilla]

for me boycotting is about going as far as i can. i can't boycott all companies that i believe to be unethical - i can't always shop in veg*n shops, i can't avoid medications at the moment, etc. but if i can easily avoid a product/service from a company that totally goes against my beliefs then i will.

[cobweb]

yep, i totally get you and that is exactly what i used to.........maybe i am feeling a bit jaded/cynical atm.

Please don't feel bad about it. It's a non vegan world remember.

Many people say that pringles themselves are actually tested on animals but thats a load of crap. Just don't buy them anymore if you don't want your money to go to P&G. :)

[RossClement]

Tesco's chilli topped houmous is better than life itself.

I tried some. It does taste very nice indeed.

There was a tub of it in Currant Affairs in Leicester today. But I'd already bought the neopolitan tub, and there's only a certain amount of space in our freezer.

No use to you of course, but it is around.

Round here it seems i can only get vanilla swedish glace, sometimes chocolate. Tesco have recently started doing neopolitan though. Wish places round here would stock more varieties.

[convectuoso]

my local health shop sells the blueberry one
it's delicious, if slightly sickly

lidl do vegan dark chocolate digestives, 58p, wonderful!

:D Fantastic, I have been searching for vegan choc digestives for ages!! They always have milk in, can't wait to pop up to lidl and get some.

Found a few things I didn't realise were vegan lately.
Aldi's bake at home croissants that come in a tin in the fridge section (very yum)
Waitrose do a Belgian whole nut chocolate bar
Ben and jerrys fruit sorbets
Tesco finest plain chocolate and ginger cereal bars
Tesco brandy liqour chocolates (only 99p too :))
9 bar from wholebake do a vegan variety, I think its the nutty one (all the others contain honey) It's a carob coated nut and seed bar
