Vegan Mayo vs. Non-Vegan Mayo // BLIND TASTE TEST
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2018
- Duncan has long said that vegan mayonnaise is just as good if not BETTER than regular mayo, and therefore there is zero reason for regular mayo to exist. But can he tell the difference in a blind taste test? Time to put the... mayo... where his mouth is. Yeah.
Why vegan mayo? Traditional mayonnaise contains eggs; egg-laying hens suffer tremendously, even on "cage free" farms.

_So You Wanna Trigger a Bunch of Vegans_
graypaint 😂😂😂😂
:)
THANK YOU! My thoughts exactly. He's going to catch allot of flack for this
hhahahahahaha
Hahaha 😂
Disregard the bewilderment and disappointment in the comment section. We all know you didn't support animal suffering. The non-vegan mayo was already purchased by a neighbor. And we also know that a literal teaspoon of that unhealthy shit is not going to kill you. It doesn't matter what anyone else says they'd do. Your channel is actually making a difference and turning a l lot of folks on to the plant based vegan lifestyle. I found your channel super supportive when I made the instant jump from omnivore to vegan. Keep it up, you rock!
crustyflatonion, You've made a massive oversight. He made a video that has reached 41,000 people so far. His neighbour may be amongst them. We can actually calculate how much his relative contribution to the animal industry would be. I did a quick online search Hellmann's mayo costs $3.48 per jar. A jar contains 30oz of mayo. 30oz is 180 teaspoons. It's more likely he consumed half a teaspoon, which is 1/360th of the jar. This means his relative contribution to the cost of the jar was in fact a ninth-tenths of a cent. His relative contribution to the animal industry was less than a penny, his contribution to veganism potentially out-weighed it many-fold. -You're welcome.
Crustyflatonion I'm sorry, what is the difference between a neighbor discarding it or lending it? I don't see the logic at all, and you made no argument or case to back up that statement. Say more on that please. The second point you make I also disagree with. If even one non-vegan watched it and decided to switch to a vegan mayo then that is a clear win. How is it not a win to change one mind at a time? Your argument is reminiscent of so many people saying "my vote doesn't matter because it's just one vote." That's how Trump was elected.
crustyflatonion Oh, I think I understand what you're saying now, but I do disagree. You're imbuing the product itself with the value intention of the person who purchased it. Gosh, I so disagree. The value intention of the purchaser does not inherently transfer to the second hand consumer in my worldview. With that logic, a pair of pants purchased from a charity shop like Goodwill would carry the karma of the sweat shop it was initially made in, through who knows how many owners, until it finally arrived at Goodwill for sale. The purchaser of that product, even though that consumer made a conscious choice to support a charity to which the item was donated, would be seen by you as betraying a value we all share. I just don't think that line of thinking is in alignment with producing the change we're all trying to make in the world.
Aelfwynn, I had the exact some charity thought. I also buy clothing second hand to avoid sweatshops. The relative value of the half a teaspoon of mayo only exists in the case of repurchase, and it's an assumption we have no basis to make. Also, if they are saying they don't support it at all: Do you buy vegan mayo from companies that sell non-vegan mayo? Do you only purchase from vegan brands? Do you shop at grocery stores that sell non-vegan products? Do you only eat at all vegan restaurants? Do you drive a car? Do you own a cell phone? This kind of 'perfectionist' logic is easily picked apart. Veganism is not about perfection. Batteries are not vegan, yet Crustyflatonion is still online, probably wearing pants, and probably eating food purchased from a shop, and probably hasn't had much influence on 41,000 viewers.
Lmao mayonnaise is now a unhealthy shit. Vegans are crazy 😜
Duncan is HELPING veganism because he understands the priority of principles over rules in this case. The principle is maximizing reduction of harm to animals, not orthorexic adherence to rules. The principle is connecting with non-vegans, not preaching to the choir.
earthpet good point. 👌🏼
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
calm down everyone. the real mayo was borrowed from their neighbors - so they didn't contribute by buying it. furthermore, mayo is almost pure oil and the egg is insignificant for your body when trying literally 1/4 teaspoon. if you wouldn't try it, don't. but don't expect something from other people especially when it's about trace amounts
- ✌️ from a 8 year vegan that's been through the militant phase 😜
veridian roots so is it then okay as a “vegan” to eat free hot dogs at a neighbors bbq? or free eggs from a neighbors chickens? where does that logic end. I just can’t get behind purposely eating nonvegan things unless it’s a very dire situation.
you just said it "you can't get behind" that doesn't mean everyone sets their boundaries that way. with the attitude of all or nothing you ostracize more people than attract them. how great would it be if everyone just ate 1/4 teaspoon of mayo in years?
In general when non vegans see vegans "making exceptions" they tend to view veganism as a diet that people can "cheat" on. People cutting back or limiting their consumptions of animal products is great, but if you're vegan it is all or nothing when it comes to diet, you can't willingly and knowingly eat animal products sometimes and be vegan.
i personally am for people calling themselves whateverthefuck they want if they try to make more ethical choices. a label is good and all but if it's alienating others it doesn't make any sense.
and let's not exaggerate what happened in this video. they made a video about which mayo is better and if there's even a need for a non-vegan variety anymore. their conclusion was that vegan mayo is superior in their minds. that's a video that could potentially bring non-vegans to buy a vegan mayo
I would argue that him trying mayonnaise once is justified because the video shows that the vegan alternatives are at least on par or better than the real mayonnaise and could thus result in non-vegans reducing their animal product consumption.
I'm not at all shocked that you tried non-vegan mayo for science. I broke training the one time I visited New Orleans to taste a beignet, because there were no vegan beignets at the time. Then I went home and veganized the hell out of it. Veganism is a choice, not a superstition.
Liz Mednick there are vegan beignets! I found that at a place called Seed in New Orleans.
I did the same in Japan. I did try to keep to vegan, but there was very little option and god damn it I wanted to try real Japanese food. So for 10 days, I went pescatarian(sp?) and enjoyed the Japanese culture and food as much as I was willing to go (didn't eat any beef/chicken/pork, still) after I'd already been vegan for a year at that point, and when I got back, I went directly back to being vegan. It's incredibly irritating that there are vegans that will hate on other vegans just because they're "not vegan enough" but yet, they're still using electronics which if they really thought they were perfect, they wouldn't even be doing that. They'd be off the grid, living off the land 100%. Hmpf.
Ma Bean you can live off the grid and still use a cellphone
Chai nut, but that's not 100% vegan. Cell phones are made from the abuse of humans and that's not vegan. Fight me. Lol.
You are technically saying not being vegan is a choice. Eating animal products is not a choice to be respected when there is a innocent victim involved. We can give person respect, but not respect the decision. This is what he is creating, thinking that you can choose either animal mayo or vegan mayo, all ‘personal’ choice.🧐
I agree, literally NO reason for non vegan mayo to exist! My mom has made many dishes using vegan mayo for work parties and family gatherings that use mayo as a main ingredient, like potato salad, and macaroni salads. She never mentions that they are vegan but people always rave about her food and ask for the recipe and she gets a kick out of telling them it’s vegan once they’ve ate it 😌
Love this 🥰
Which one does she use ?
This is good! With you having tasted the Hellman's Real mayo, there's no "you don't remember what actual mayo tastes like, so you can't say vegan mayo is just as good" argument, because you DO know what it tastes like. Love it!
Honestly, I would've done it too! (But not with mayo because the thought of eating mayo by itself makes me want to gag lmao)
Party Hard Potato same! It’s so cringey that they can do that 😂
Wow the people in the comments need to get a grip. Duncan, please don't take their comments harshly, these people are being hardcore non-sense. Thank you for this experiment, thank you for putting this out there, probably knowing full well that a lot of people would go nuts over half a teaspoon of real mayo. Geez vegans, why do you always seem to attack inwards twice as hard than outwards? And this is coming from a vegan as well... I just can't believe the extremism sometimes.
I'm good, thanks. As someone who has had my share of frustration with people over this issue... i get it. Yet surprisingly I didn't anticipate this reaction at all. Live and learn 🌈
maybe they are secret meat industry agents and just trying to get people to ditch the vegan label and slide back into omnivore diet?
I don't condemn especially because this is more likely to help bring people to veganism. The stronger reaction inward is perhaps because vegans are aware while non-vegans are not, so less is expected.
Yeah they are secret agents...just because he licked Hellmanns mayo 😂😂
well he knows exactly what that is made out of: cruelty. So why would he have some? For views? not sure🧐
Vegan polices on the comment section is hilarious! Dude, it's just a taste test for the show. Oh well... I have no words...
tw lol seriously! People are nuts.
To all the angry commentators: You've made a massive oversight. He made a video that has reached 41,000 people so far. His neighbour may be amongst them. We can actually calculate how much his relative contribution to the animal industry would be. I did a quick online search and Hellmann's mayo costs $3.48 per jar (HEB). A jar contains 30oz of mayo. 30oz is 180 teaspoons. It's more likely he consumed half a teaspoon, which is 1/360th of the jar. This means his relative contribution to the cost of the jar was in fact ninth-tenths of a cent. His relative contribution to the animal industry was less than a penny, his contribution to veganism potentially out-weighed it many-fold. Furthermore, his potential contribution is only calculated under the assumption of repurchase of the product. -You're welcome.
Betsy Smith haha, awesome.
Like a Rainman of goodness. That’s awesome!
Betsy Smith you could also take it further and estimate that the animal contents of the jar is likely no more than 4 egg yolks (probably less, considering the pale color). The amount of real mayo he ate is likely less than 1% of an egg yolk
Justdege but you do realize that the number of people this likely convinces to switch to vegan mayo probably saves hundreds of male chickens, right?
Justdege he didn’t compromise his values though, he simply did something that’s inconsistent with *your* values, which is his right, that actually has more potential for positive impact (in the form of getting non-plant-based people to adopt vegan alternatives) than comparing vegan products amongst themselves. In fact, that kind of self-righteous “you’re a murderer if you veer off this path for even a moment” attitude is a huge reason why so many people don’t stick to vegan and vegetarian diets in the long term (this attitude is also ineffective advocacy that can even deter people from adopting plant-based diets). By shaming people for not living up to some unrealistic, pristinely warped ideal of purity, you make veganism rigid and unsustainable. I’m sure you use plenty of things you don’t realize aren’t vegan (e.g., tires, white sugar, glycerin in pretty much any personal care product, certain kinds of glue, etc). Using some non-vegan things is pretty unavoidable, as are consuming non-vegan things when you have no way of knowing how every ingredient was derived; to spend one’s life obsessing and criticizing over these tiny things that have minimal impact is unnecessary, emotionally exhausting, and not sustainable. It’s much more effective to focus on the larger things that have significant impact (i.e., mostly or completely abstaining from meat consumption in the long-term) and avoiding shaming people for maybe consuming a rare bite or few (whether intentional or not) of animal-product containing food, because it makes people feel less restricted and judged so they can better see themselves seamlessly incorporating plant-based eating into their life.
This is so cool. I love how open minded he is. Its not about preaching about Vegan lisftyle wihtout havnig an understading for others. To beat your ''enemies'' you have to know them. Hehe. Great video!!!
Non-vegans are not our "enemies". Almost all vegans were once non-vegans. It's my sincere hope that non-vegans will make the switch as I did. I understand the hesitancy, but I wish non-vegans could understand the happiness that awaits them.
If you are a vegan and look at non vegans as enemies that is not a good way to look at them the best way to look at them is maybe uninformed.
Jayyy Zeee I will never go vegan and I respect your decision to be a vegan.
Awesome. I’m not vegan but I do my best to choose vegan.
Hey! Here's something. My son is going on a Youth Service Project to New Orleans to help the people that are still suffering from the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and we just did a big New Orleans themed fundraiser for which I made you tuber, Sweet Potato Soul's, Potato salad recipe for 80 people , yes I said 80! I used Veganaise and it was awesome. Most of it was eaten. No one was told about it and consequently no one noticed the difference or talked about it and for that I am pretty freakin proud. I used Reduced fat Veganaise from Whole Foods and it would take a pretty amazing product to sway me away from veganaise. Great video guys! You bring up- no joke- a very important topic- Mayonaise. It's real real real serious. All my best to you both.
hurricane katrina, more like hurricane TORTILLA
Regular Veganaise is so freakin' delicious, my carnivorous parents eat that and don't buy regular mayo at all.
This video made me want to replace my regular mayo with vegan mayo tbh
Thanks for doing this Duncan. This helps me recommend vegan alternatives to my family members who aren't vegans, knowing the taste might be similar to what they are used to.
I read some of those comments condemning you for trying your neighbors mayo. That's a tough spot to be in, because in one hand you're trying to attract new people to explore vegan alternatives but at the same time existing vegans can come out as too strong and judgemental. I guess finding that middle ground where you're not too soft or too strong on veganism while still veganizing people can be complicated at times. I just want to motivate you to keep doing what you're doing, because some people need this kind of content to ease their transition to veganism.
Everyone has their own style of activism and not everyone will approve lol. As can be evident in this video lol. But thanks for this Duncan. Some of us have family that do better with this kind of approach at the beginning of their vegan journey.
Duncan, I am so sorry that you had to go to that extreme to prove a point!
P.S. Don't believe any of the haters who are saying that you "reset the counter". Veganism has no "counter".
I just wanted to say that i have been vegan for 6 months today and i cannot stop watching your videos! You guys are hilarious!!! Keep the videos coming!!!!
I'm scared now...
that Just Mayo wasn't your fave. :'(
I haven't seen that new label in Canada yet. It's different than before maybe?
Mary's Test Kitchen // Vegan Cooking just is my fave too. I saw a couple of just haters in the comments and I "just" don't get it. No other does justice, right?
Totally agree... I love just mayo, it's the closest to what I used to eat for non vegan mayo.
And yeah, the wrap on the bottle is now clear.
I use veganese in Canada. Love it. I use the regular one though. They also have different flavours.
But in Canada I only seen Hellmans and Veganase.
I found Veganase better than Hellmans.
the spicy mayo one from just mayo is my fav
I liked this video it shows great options to consider.
Right?! There are so many great alternatives out there that taste highly similar to the real deal. I grew up on Hellmans and their vegan version is just as good. My grocery stores only carry Just and Vegenaise. For ethical/moral purposes, I choose Hampton Creek's Just mayo since Hellman's tried to bully them (but the Hellman's one is good when I tried it).
GREAT video!! Informative and love how open minded you two are!!
**countless vegans contribute to the killing of marine life through plastic bags**
Other vegans:
**literally just one guy eats half a spoon of mayonnaise to get more people to eat vegan mayo**
Other vegans: OMGGGG THAT'S SO UNETHICAL!!!!
I drink almond milk. But almond milk is so horrible for the environment. I hate vegans that are so judgmental and self righteous yet they're not waste free and they buy vegetables from the store which were farmed by people who arent paid enough and are abused.
“I’m so excited. Nothing’s gonna bring me down!” 😂
Cue vegan border patrol in 3, 2, 1...
Please don't make all vegans your enemy. It's a sincere wish that everyone could become vegan, but most of us were once non-vegan, so there should be understanding and patience.
I am vegan; 15 years and counting. This is by no means a comment on all vegans, merely on the policing that is associated with some, even against other vegans.
Well because he is technically saying that, yeah cruelty was involved in this mayo, but lets just have some for the video? 🧐
Is there anything more intimate than sharing a spoonful of mayonnaise? I didn't say sexy. I said intimate. I didn't say NOT disturbing. I said intimate. LOL!! Love you guys.
Wow. Thanks for taking one for the team, Duncan. I could NEVER taste a non vegan mayo again. Just. Can’t. Do. It. Blech!!! Just thinking about the egg in it. Eww 😷 But now you know. So thanks! 💖
"thanks for taking one for the team" who's team is that exactly? lol certainly not the baby chicks team, whom get ground up alive in the egg industry, just saying.
Alternative Vegan you think I don’t know this? By ‘team’ I meant vegans. Thought that was obvious. I could never knowingly ingest something that isn’t vegan- by Duncan doing so- I NEVER have to.
you would never have to regardless of if Duncan did this or not.
Nova, I'm not sure if i agree 100% if this would be better if non vegans did it. Like most people know what non vegan mayo tastes like, there's no reason (even for taste test reasons) to give a platform to a companies that actively use products which send baby male chicks to be ground up alive.
Alternative Vegan, honey just stop it. You're making us look like assholes. For the tiny little drop he put in his mouth, thousands of people were shown that they could make the switch and many probably did! Stop being a shit.
Granted I've only been vegan a month or so now and I personally wouldn't want to willingly have real mayo, but at the same time I do think that a) It's just a spoonful of borrowed mayo (nice thouch) and b) I think for the purposes of an experiment like this, the good it does is greater than the harm it does.
But I also think that if we're asking meat eaters to try a vegan diet then a little spoonful of mayo is kind of a small concession to make. Maybe I'm wrong. I still probably wouldn't have done it even for the video but w/e. It'll be interesting to see how much people argue about this in the comments I guess.
Everyone is freaking out that he had a taste of non-vegan mayo, no one said anything about that fact they’re eating straight mayo off a spoon 🤢🤮
Just Mayo is my favorite!
I'm a big meat eater. I try to cut down on dairy, but basically buy lactose free milk. Whole Foods has Follow Your Heart mayonnaise, and I can seriously use that as regular mayonnaise with zero problem. That stuff actually taste as good or better than regular Hellman's Mayo. Seriously, major props from a major non vegan.
I really liked this video! We don't really have any vegan mayo options in my country yet, I just make my own, but this was fun.
I was also a bit surprised you tried the 'real' mayo, Duncan, but I can understand the point of the video. Please don't get discouraged! I love you guys and this channel. Keep it up :)
You guys are seriously the best. I was a hardcore meat eater who has been striving towards being vegan around two years... Your channel has been a major encouragement and motivation! I have been eating vegan food exclusively for about a month, I watch your videos for inspiration! I so relate with Liz, it's so hard when it's engrained in your system and watching her journey has been essential! My husband ( whose given up meat as well) will watch your videos exclusively because he is a videographer and enjoys the filming style. Thank you for what you do! 🎉
Guys you're the best, I've been vegan for 3 years and now I have many friends that ask me for help to become vegan and I always recommend your channel.
Hey thanks Tania!
Nova Gaia77 Jesus Christ, calm your tits! I would always send anyone here because Duncan is a normal, non judgemental, not militant vegan who actually projects an image of a normal person into the world which helps the movement a lot. And he does a great deal for veganism, you can't say he doesn't. You on the other hand....
I love Duncan's humor. Find a guy like Duncan.
Love this Duncan! Quite the sponsorship you guys got there ;D Just mayo is personally my favorite. I really really think you two should try their Garlic Just Mayo. It's game changing. Had it out at a nonvegan BBQ and everyone loved it and didn't suspect its veganness. It's cheap on amazon!
Vegan trying non vegan products = science and good activism. Thank you for challenging non vegans to try vegan mayo!!
Your videos make me smile and laugh. Thanks for doing what you do!
You guys are great, keep the activism going, keep doing great content.
Random comment cos i know it supports your channel😊 💜 you guys
I didn't even know Hellmans did a vegan mayo - where has this been?! (Just googled and I can't buy it in the UK... boo) Also, thank you for doing a test. Vegan mayo is expensive and I can't afford to buy them all and try them, so I appreciate the comparison to the real thing!
This was a great video!!! My fave is the regular Vegennaise :) Glad you tasted the non-veg one for fairness, hope you didn't get flayed too bad.
Thank you for this!
I'm not vegan, but I've been thinking about eating less animal products and this has encouraged me to try vegan mayo! thanks!
i never really ate mayo, what would you say is the best thing to use vegan mayo for, other than sandwiches..?
Potato salad, maybe salad dressing, or mix it with ketchup for a yummy dip (my fave is with Trader Joe's Meatless Meatballs
I am confused
Trader Joe's has a crazy tasty, cheap vegan mayo. That's my favorite :D
it's pretty good, agreed!
Does it taste like any of the mayos in this taste test. I want to try it but afraid I won't like it. Thank you for any opinion on this matter.
It tastes like plastic to me 😥
It’s ok veganaise is best
I love tjs but the vegan mayo isn’t my go to
Just Mayo used to be my favorite but I feel like it changed when the labels changed, ha. Best Foods (Hellman's out there) Vegan is my new fav. Fun video :)
This channel has probably turned so many viewers into vegans!!! Thank you Duncan and Liz for showing us that vegan food tastes amazing, and it's a lifestyle that is accessible for all. :)
Thanks for sharing, and I'm confident this video will have a big impact on non-vegans consumer choices. Would you have done something similar with "real" burgers vs. Vegan burgers, or "real" nuggets vs. Vegan nuggets. If not, why not? I can assume, but I thought I'd ask. Much love, Duncan.
agreed
This was so fun to watch. 😂 Been vegetarian 13 years and just made the full switch to vegan a month ago. You guys are so cute and hilarious together!
This comment section is in such a state. You did a good video guys. I don't think it is such a big deal. And ultimately it is your guys' decision what to try and what not to try. Everyone is acting like they have a say in what you can do or not. And it's not like you were contributing towards animal cruelty, and ultimately you made a compelling argument against animal product based mayo.
I love this video. I’ve been vegan for a year, but the past few months I’ve been struggling and thinking about going back to being vegetarian/mostly vegan. I feel so much internal pressure and worry about backlash from vegans for slipping back. Or other people not respecting my own boundaries if I go back to being vegetarian but still want a mainly vegan diet. I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders sometimes as a vegan and I occasionally crumble when my depression/anxiety are worse off for the day. This video helps me not give up and to keep doing my best regardless of what others say. Keep questioning and keep exploring ways to make the world a better place. Love you guys 😊
I know this is from a year ago but I hate to see the emotional turmoil this was causing you. You absolutely can't let people influence your mental health like that. You need to eat the way that is doable for you. The fact that you are aware that your choices make a difference is what is important. The militant vegan movement is doing a disservice to the concept of a plant based diet. So many people are intimidated by the "rules" that they don't even try. You just do the best you can for your circumstances and lifestyle and don't worry about the social pressure. Good luck.
Glim246 fun story I actually did go back to vegetarian for 6 months and am currently back to a month of being vegan just because I missed it after working out some toxic thought patterns, I’m much happier now and feel no pressure from myself or others. :)
@@theizzyinsane So good to hear that! I have been a vegetarian with a vegan lifestyle ( no leather, down pillows etc.)for over 35 years. I haven't gone completely vegan for personal reasons but I read and watch a lot of vegan info. The judgement makes me crazy. It changes what is a positive world changing effort in to a mean girls lunch table. I am so glad you have found your own way in the movement. It's a real accomplishment to work through a psychological issue and be happy with your choices. Keep at it and you'll be your best self.
Noice! Hellman's is my absolute favorite, so thank you Liz, I will try the vegan hellman's. I wasnt sure if it would be as good as the non vegan version 😁
Vegan hellmann's is my favorite of ANY mayo.
Joanne Kebort definitely put this on my monthly grocery list 😄
It tastes almost exactly as the non vegan version. My favorite before going vegan was the regular and would never eat any other. Rest assured that the vegan Hellmans is as good tasting but better cause it's vegan. Enjoy!
c g awesome, I can hardly wait. I should be getting it next week. Thank you for the feedback 🤗
Mosca Froglover You are very welcome, be blessed.
The regular veganaise is my favorite too - yall already know about the whole thing with hellmans, and just mayo is too thick (if you buy the squeeze bottle one, it's really difficult to get out)
edit: is everyone really this mad...about half a spoon...of egg mayonnaise.....I get it's a bit uncomfortable but it's not like he paid for it. Non-vegans watching this video will be able to see an honest, non biased review of these mayos, isn't that a good thing?
Eating mayo with nothing makes me want to gag
I have a question. I've been a vegetarian for about a year. The only problem is why did I gained so much weight. Sometimes, I eat eggs and cheese. Only because my doctor says I'm anemic. But the weight gain is killing me. Liz, what am I doing wrong?
Domestic_Goddess Artist i am not liz but i suggest to start a healthy diet. you can gain weight by a vegetarian or a plant based diet. it doesn't matter. the important thing is that you need to eat healthy food. i recommend you a whole food vegan diet.
Pterodactyl thanks for the advice.
Another awesome episode! xo
Wow. My phone died right after the “sponsor” announcement and Duncan said “I think number 3 is -“
I've been vegan for four years and I love this video :D Keep them coming!!!
I support this! Vegan mayo has come such a long way (the Hellman's Vegan is my personal fave and it's cheaper than the rest) and I think this video is great because you could literally send it to a non-vegan friend and they would actually watch it because it's a little spicy with the vegan-guy-eating-the-non-vegan-mayo option thrown in there. Anyway, thanks for another awesome video guys!
God I love this channel!😊❤️
I don’t even like mayo vegan or not, but I just watched the whole video. 😂
I love the Hellman’s vegan mayo! So so good!
you guys are just the best
As someone who is RECENTLY having problems with Mayo and egg products (but cant go fully vegan for other bleh reasons) I've got two options! I'm gonna try Sir Kensington and the Hellman's! Heck yes!
What I like about vegan mayo is that even if I think it tastes a little off when I try it alone, on a sandwich I really can’t taste a difference at all. That’s for all the ones I’ve tried except for the Trader Joe’s sandwich spread. Idk if they even sell it anymore, but I think they were emulating miracle whip which has always tasted kinda gross to me 🤷🏻♀️
Bian Dancy Does the Trader Joe brand of vegan mayo taste like Miracle Whip or not? I hated Miracle Whip as a non vegan.
I would love to watch differents vegan breakfast around the world! Or those type of vids. Pleaseeee make it happen!!!
loved this
I'm devoted to the Follow Your Heart veg but I'll have to try the sir Kensington
Just Mayo is my fav!!!
My name is Duncan omggggg!!! I’m subscribing now!!!and I’m pescatarian
That was amayonazing? Nice one. Can you do again this time have a home made one?
Great work Duncan. Ignore the nay-sayers. I think it was a valid experiment. I couldn't test real mayonaise myself and love the follow your heart vegenaise (I've only tasted the blue jar though).Thanks Duncan. Keep up the good activism and great work. x
Well damn, Duncan. You just reset the counter. You've been vegan for 45 minutes.
Actually we shot this on Saturday, so vegan for a few days. But then a bug crawled into my mouth last night, so I guess about eight hours.
Labels suck.
I don’t know if you meant this to be funny but I laughed so hard. I think they said they borrowed this from their neighbors so they didn’t actually pay for factory farmed eggs. Not that I would personally eat animal products on purpose, even in the context of a UA-cam video. But I don’t think it’s necessarily harmful if he didn’t actually buy the product and it was a one time occurance.
You are simply looking at this too black and white. He created the video in the hopes of detering people from buying regular Hellmans, in that he demonstrated how the vegan version has better taste and is therefore a better product to purchase. However, if he were to simply state this to a non vegan, it would not be a credible source because of his bias. Thus, he did a blind taste test, eliminating the bias.
As to your point about borrowing the chicken nuggets, that would only be valid if he borrowed the mayo for the simple pleasure of enjoying the mayo, which he did not. His undertaking was to pursude nonvegans to purchase a vegan product in the future.
So if you do the math, one teaspoon of consumed nonvegan mayo could prevent the purchase of larger quantities of said mayo in the future. And that would snowball into less product being manufactured since we live in a capitalist society.
This is analogous to the vegan food scientists at Beyod Foods who state they do sample real meat during the production of the Beyond Burger and other products. In doing so, they can create a product that discourages the purchase of real meat in the future by consumers, therefore ultimately benefitting the vegan movement and the animals.
Alternative Vegan I think you should be able to see the vast difference between “lols going to borrow some chicken nuggets” and a taste test with a literal teaspoon
Any good “non tangy” vegan mayo out there?
The hellmans one is pretty non-tangy. I probably use that word too much
honestly could take or leave mayo as a whole but hellman's vegan mayo is great because it is pretty much everywhere hellman's is available for roughly the same price as their eggy mayo (leaves me more $$$ for field roast)
Thanks guys! You can send me one of those vegan mayos! Lol
So glad you picked the non vegan mayo as the worst! Hehehe.
I feel weird about this video. I don't think it's a shame or anything, cause I think you did far more for veganism with this channel than many other "strict" vegan did. And I think your work is usefull and super cool ! Just... It still bothers me. It's as if (and maybe it wasn't your intention at all) veganism was a matter of taste. Well I'm sure you didn't stop eating regular mayo cause vegan mayo was tastier... Maybe a quick reminder in the video of why you originally stopped eating animal products would have been useful to people not particularly close to veganism who would watch this video ? (I'm not english, sorry for my mistakes) Thanks for what you do for veganism :)
For some people it is. You need to broaden your perspective. Someone just starting and wanting to become Vegan.. For a lot of these people it's going to be important that the products they're buying taste as good as what they're sacrificing. It will make the transition easier. Plus, it's for science.
Ok so reading the comments was a mistake. Usually so fun and light hearted. D&L, I'll say this: you, and maybe a handful of other youTubers , really do the hard work of fighting back against the perception people have that vegans are hateful, irrational, and (eating) disordered. Someone said it way deep in the muck below---it's about the living by principles not rules. Living by principles requires critical thinking. Without it, I can see how it would be hard to grasp the net positive of this experiment.
I will say I usually eat vegan mayo over the regular mayo, but I can't buy the same brand twice in a row because it's weird to my taste buda. I also find that different mayos are better for different applications. Some are good for salads and dressing while others are great on sandwiches
JUST MAYO is my all time fav! (Though I haven't tried Kensington!)
Scandalous! But...not sure I believe this since I didn’t see the non-vegan mayo spoon travel from the container to Duncan’s mouth...😼
Love your videos and creativity!
I’m glad you used regular Mayo because other taste tests don’t and I’m thinking they don’t remember the taste of regular to compare it too…
i never bought any except the vegan hellmann's. I like the "buttery" taste. I may want to try vegenaise next.
Mykasan The original Veganaise is the best of that brand to try. It's my second favorite my first being vegan Hellmans. Enjoy!
Interesting....just mayo is usually my fave ❤️💕😋
Never liked mayo but then I discovered the wonders of vegan mayo (Vegenaise). I sometimes ate it with with a spoon on a bowl because it was so creamy good. Maybe I need to try more.
Wow amazing sponsorship!
you look pretty good with a bandana as an accessory!
So tense
I just discovered that Hellmans have a vegan mayonnaise. If I find it some day at a good price I will give it a try. I love when carnist companies enter the vegan area and I try to support their effort however I can.
We did it!
Awesome! Please ask the neighbors who let you borrowed theirs do the taste test!
Gah! I don't have any of those vegan mayos being sold near me. (Rural UK) :-( I do just make my own silken tofu mayo though, and it's good. It would be convenient to be able to just pick up a jar of pre-made once in a while though. I'm very lazy.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Especially taste test episodes. I personally don't find it wrong to taste real mayo that you BORROWED from a neighbor...it's not like you paid for it and supported the industry with your money. I don't think I could do it but thanks for doing it for my viewing pleasure :)
MyxiMoo, so if he borrows a steak and only eats a sliver to compare it to a vegan friendly version is that okay? Male chicks died for that mayo, just like a cow died for the steak. What’s the difference?
MyxiMoo it’s not that he didn’t pay for it it’s just gross - why would you want chicken period in your mouth?
Alex, Yeah I agree. It's totally gross and I wouldn't do it. My comment was more about the ethics of it.
Cycling Vids- Again, if he is just borrowing a piece and isn't supporting the industry of animal suffering with his money then I think it's okay. However, I personally couldn't do that because the idea of eating dead animal (and mayo) repulses me.
Whelp, at least you're consistent with what you're okay with. I personally find it completely unethical to knowingly eat animal products no matter where they come from, unless you're doing it for survival. I appreciate the response
I love the Just mayo! Which is a good thing since that’s the only vegan mayo avail in my area! Lol. But I only use that and it (to me) is no different than any other mayo. I have tried the Veganaise and liked it too.
Yaaay, you did it! 😂
I guess SOMEone had to do it. Better you than me...👀 better YOU than ME!😂
