Every time I go to the store, I see a rack of these things that haven't moved in 2 years. The only thing that confuses me is that these two dipshits thought their stupid mugs made for a good company logo. Or that no one in marketing or graphic design told them that having 30% of the packaging be obscured by a giant wad of pube hair wouldn't be appetizing

I bought one last week, that exact double chocolate variety there. I didn't know it was supposed to vegan health food or whatever until I bit into it. No chocolate taste at all and its texture was very much unlike what a cookie should be.

The creators of such a terrible product ought to be ashamed of themselves, both for making something so bad as well as for putting two Eric Andres on their packaging.

Oh, I know. While not vegan myself, I make vegan sugar cookies (or vegan fruit crumbles) for family gettogethers because my SiL can't have any sort of dairy and my brother has inexplicably developed an egg allergy in his middle age.
Every time I've had an actual vegan's baked """"""""good"""""""" they were more like baked bads, they were so awful. It's like they don't understand the chemistry behind baking at all. They wanna swap eggs out for fucking apple sauce?

To be fair, it's basically a protein shake in "cookie" form. You're supposed to be buying it for the protein and enjoying whatever resemblance to a cookie it might have. I haven't had that brand but I've had ones like that and they taste okay.

Good point. Aren't all store-bought cookies made with palm oil and partially hydrogenated soybean oil and thus vegan already?

It can have dairy ingredients, but you're right that there's nothing stopping a company from putting dairy or meat in a product that's mostly flour and calling it plant based.
