Vegan Has Unforgettable Experience When She Discovers Mayonnaise Isn’t Vegan
In the United States alone, more than 7 million individuals openly embrace a vegetarian-based diet. Of this population, a significant portion, around 1 million, are dedicated vegans who abstain from any form of animal products or their derivatives. The global landscape mirrors this trend, with a considerable prevalence of veganism, if not surpassing it.
While outspoken organizations like PETA, often enmeshed in contentious debates, contribute to the perception, it’s worth noting that the majority of vegans are laid-back individuals striving to live a life that minimizes harm to animals. Despite this, there’s a crucial mantra that resonates among vegans: scrutinize the ingredients. The discreet infiltration of animal byproducts into everyday foods prompts vigilant scrutiny, an essential aspect of maintaining their ethically-driven lifestyle.
1. The Genesis: Ingredients Unveiled
A recent narrative surfaces from the vegan community, recounting a disconcerting revelation about a cherished sandwich ingredient.
A candid online testimony emerges, shared by an anonymous Subway employee, blurring the line between cringe-worthy and amusing.

The employee recounts:
Yesterday I had a chick come in, she told me she wanted a Veggie Delight, as I went to get the bread she asked me if I could change my gloves cause she was vegan and I had been handling meat. I did that, no problem, perfectly reasonable request. I get her breast, toast it and put all the veggies she wants on it, I start to wrap up her sandwich when she says, ‘Can I get some mayo?’

In a gesture of goodwill, the employee, surprised by her mayo request, hesitated and ventured:
THIS. GIRL. JUST. STOOD. THERE. SILENT. Then she said: “N-no it doesn’t, I get mayo every time, are you sure?”

With unwavering clarity, he confirmed the mayo-egg connection, prompting a visible shift in her demeanor:
[she] stood there with such a distraught and defeated face. I had shattered this poor girl’s world.
However, the story doesn’t culminate here; it takes an intriguing turn.

In the wake of this egg-infused revelation, he inquired once more if she still desired mayo on her sandwich. To the astonishment of many, she responded with a resounding YES.
So I gave her her mayo, wrapped her sandwich up and charged her for her sandwich, she was silent the whole time.
As she departed, he cordially uttered:
Have a nice day!

He recollected:
She just looked at me, sighed, ‘yea, I’ll try’ and walked out. And that’s the story of how I taught a vegan that mayonnaise is, in fact, not vegan.
7.
As we part ways, let’s leave you with this nugget of knowledge. While vegan-friendly mayonnaise does exist, it’s essential to note that traditional mayonnaise, including the variety found at Subway (and many other eateries), is typically composed of basic ingredients: eggs, oil, lemon, vinegar, and seasoning.
Certainly not within the confines of veganism.
