Fruit Gushers Are They Vegan?

Are Gushers Vegan? (2023)

Gushers were always that one item that made you the lad everyone wanted to be friends with, even if just for lunchtime.  I must say I was one of those folks who brought multiple packs just to hand out because…

Smarties Vegan Candy Rockets

Are Smarties Vegan? (2023)

Smarties are a simple sugary candy that I definitely like, probably mostly because they’re a candy that is so easily portioned and one I don’t tend to eat an entire bag of at a time. But they’re pretty good, and…

Peeps Original Non-vegan Marshmallow Chicks

Are Peeps Vegan? (2023)

Peeps are arguably one of the most unhealthy calorie-dense nutrition-lacking things you can eat. But I have many fond memories of going into drugstores with my mother and buying them, as she always loved them. They were a little too…

Altoids were my favorite mint behind Tic Tacs, but much like them they are and in this case somewhat shockingly to me, not vegan. Original Peppermint Altoids are not vegan because they contain Gelatin, an animal product made from boiling…

Vegan Dum Dums

Original Mike And Ikes

Are Mike and Ikes Vegan? (2023)
