      If my coffee had to be vegan, I would be kinda upset because it means I couldn’t have any dairy cream in it.

      If my coffee couldn’t be vegan (even served black), I would be even more upset because WTF would they be doing to it to make it inherently not-vegan‽

          Yeah, they usually contain gelatin, which is extracted from animal skins and bones.

          Vegan gelling agents are available (and in fact, marshmallows originally used marshmallow roots), but I guess, gelatin is just so cheap, because it’s a waste product from animal slaughter.

              Bread often contains L-Cysteine, made from hog hair or poultry feathers, as a baking aid. It is labelled as food additive E920.
              Potato chips often contain whey powder, and some aromas contain animal products even if you wouldn’t expect it.

          So no more jello in my coffee either?
