Greetings everyone, Woolworths has today dropped the price on the new Vegan Flavours of the Drumstick. This is the first time it's been reduced since being implemented in November from what I can see :)
Peters Drumstick Vegan Vanilla Bean Choc Almond Cones 4 pack
Thanks to Price Hipster for the price drop notification.
As always, enjoy :)
You’re right, it isn’t, but it is complementary - you can thank karma for that - that’s what’s eating at meat eaters, otherwise, they’d dismiss as a fad and stop with derogatory commentary.
Why are there people like you going on every post about vegan junk food to tell people they're not healthy as though it's new information? To save you the trouble of telling everyone next time, vegans are not buying ice cream or Hungry Jack's or any other junk food to be healthy. Nobody is buying ice cream or Hungry Jack's or any other junk food to be healthy. It's really simple, some people just like junk food sometimes. Or always.
Because vegans try to associate veganism with being healthy. At least it's becoming more apparent that veganism =/= healthy. That is why.
Whole food plant based is healthy, veganism is not necessarily, it's up to the individual. Much like people who eat animal products, there are people who are concerned about healthy eating and others who are not.
I consider myself a junk food vegan, though I do eat healthier than when I ate animal products because most of the junk food options I used to eat are not available to me anymore, so I go without or make it myself. That doesn't mean that if I do occasionally replace something like meat with mock meat that I think the mock meat is healthy. Or if I had an ice cream that that it is healthy. I'm yet to come across a vegan who thinks that vegan junk food is healthy.
Holy Pickle Rickle. Soy for the Goy!. No more milk for me.
Ingredients: Water, Sugar, Reconstituted Coconut Milk (12%), Vegetable Oil, Glucose Syrup, Wheat Flour, Almonds (5.2%), Cocoa Solids (4.3%), Dextrose Monohydrate, Emulsifiers [322 (From Soy), 471 (From Soy)], Modified Starch (1442, 1450), Vegetable Gums (410, 412, 440), Colours (153, 160b), Maltodextrin, Mineral Salts (504, 551), Flavours, Vanilla Bean (0.013%), Preservative (220).
don't bother
The only difference to the normal version is you replace the reconstituted coconut cream with reconstituted skim milk
don't bother with all mass produced ice cream. Vegan, dairy, non-dairy. Agreed it is a big effort to make your own ice cream. At least you have a chance of processing it.
You could say that for a lot of things. That's why I scratch make many of my own meals. Anything mass produced has to have stuff in it to make it last.
Err…why? Don't bother because it has ingredients?
The Vegan Drumstick is not trully Vegan unless it tells you its Vegan each time you unwrap it…
Thanks OP, got the Raspberry and Coconut. Wow, it was very nice.
Thank you!
The affogato ones are so good!!!
what about the raspberry thing?
It never ceases to amaze me how gullible and unscientific people are when it comes to diet and nutrition (perhaps no wonder: nutrition "science" is the ultimate pseudo-science). First we fell for the "saturated fat/eggs/cholesterol is bad" scam, then it was the "polyunsaturated vegetable and seed oil is good" scam and now the "meat is bad, vegan good" scam. Sad.
I think this is just providing an option for people who choose to go vegan, which is generally for an ethical or environmental reason, not a health reason.
Yeah, except that when you look at it form the environmental angle, you also find that things are more complex than they first appear. Feedlots / CAFO operations are arguably bad for the environment. But so are modern agricultural practices that are required to sustain vegan lifestyles: herbal monoculture staples required to feed everyone if we all turned vegan and copious amounts of pesticides, herbicides and insecticides required not to mention artificial fertilisers. How is that any better for the environment? Do you know what these chemicals do to animals and insects especially bees, which are essential to our environment? Watch Magic Pill doco if you have Netflix, where a formerly vegan lady explains it better than I can be bothered right now (somewhere in the last third of it). Use your brain to think deeply, question everything and most importantly follow the money trail and ask who ultimately benefits. Dills who are negging my comments are most likely not capable of that…
I think my brain just had an aneurysm trying to follow your train of thought.
There's no herbal mono-culture associated with axing meat out of one's diet. The sheer volume of livestock that are bred for consumption is an absolute blight on our natural resources via waste-production, fresh water usage, methane-output and uptake of industrial anti-biotics.
The whole goal of the vegan movement is to simply find alternatives - and it's working: Dairy industries worldwide reported a loss of $2 Billion, Australian Dairy Farmers have reduced production by 9% in 2019 and that reduction is increasing year on year from lower demand.

It is impossible to do absolutely no harm to anything or anyone while sustaining food production, but it is absolutely possible to do less harm.
Jokes on you I like going to the toilet after eating it works as a laxative and treat all in one come on people where is your ozbargain spirit!
what makes these vegan?
i had a beer at lunch today, it didnt have any meat.
so does that mean my beer was vegan also?
It doesn't have any dairy products in it. Veganism isn't just no meat.
Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals
Yes beer might be vegan. Some are, some arent. Its typical ingredients are certainly vegan, but it depends on the brewer and their technique to clarify the end product as to if its truly vegan. Some use plant products to clarify, some use an animal derived product. The former would meet the criteria as a vegan beer, the latter does not.
As well as some of the new style craft beer may contain lactose, such as these "juicy/milkshake IPAs" and the like. But the brewer should always call that out on the label.
VEGANISM = Extreme vegetarianism
Ice cream typically contains dairy, an animal product.
Technically many things are vegan but it's only when it's not obvious it's worth mentioning. I.e. vegan mayonnaise since it typically contains egg, also an animal product.
Vegan means no animal products including meat and other byproducts.
Beer may contain gelatin to make it nice and clear (compared to my hazy home brew). Gelatin comes from animals. There are vegan alternatives tho!
To me it's funny there's always vegan hate on this site but this deal has so many upvotes.
You only need to see how the multinationals are scrambling for market share. The annual growth of the Vegan market is staggering. Plant-based food sales have jumped by 31% in the past two years! Haters are much slower on the uptake because they are not losing marketshare if they keep their closed minds, well, closed. Many of the market leaders with vegan products are traditional meat and dairy companies (like these ice-cream companies).
Amazingly Burger King (HJs) in Australia has always been an early adopter of the veggie burger and now vegan / rebel options. Both KFC and McDs have been trialling vegan options for some time too. McDs now have the McVeggie here but all McDs in Finland and Sweden have McVegan burgers since 2017.
Subway have been advertising their meatless meatball sub in the UK but i'm yet to see it here. It's a billion dollar industry but as you say so many key players have been slow on the uptake.
Because it's not actually a bad deal, for vegan ice cream to its normal price.
There's not much that's good about this ingredient list. Thanks but no thanks.
Ingredients: Water, Sugar, Reconstituted Coconut Milk (12%), Vegetable Oil, Glucose Syrup, Wheat Flour, Almonds (5.2%), Cocoa Solids (4.3%), Dextrose Monohydrate, Emulsifiers [322 (From Soy), 471 (From Soy)], Modified Starch (1442, 1450), Vegetable Gums (410, 412, 440), Colours (153, 160b), Maltodextrin, Mineral Salts (504, 551), Flavours, Vanilla Bean (0.013%), Preservative (220).
What do you find on the ingredient list that is particularly bad?
that it’s vegan, I suspect.
The number one ingredient is dihydrogen monoxide. Tells you everything, really.
Lol
Is the deal still on?
Two different Woolworths do not have the sale price for vegan Drumstick, and also the same for the new Magnum Luxe sticks for $6.50
Yeah, I bought it 11pm last night when they were removing the Specials tags. Expired today, as the website reflects.
Yes, expired at Woolworths, but available for the next week at Coles, also the Messina Drumsticks are $5 at Coles this week.
i just had the Affogato, tastes like those Coffee candies sold at every Asian grocer.
not sure if it's the ice cream, or my fridge, but it was bit mushy, half was brown, the other half was white and slightly icier.
The wafer cone was dark brown awesomeness
@bmerigan: Yeah my point there was we are all addicted to foods regardless of vegan or non-vegan. We all like treats sometimes, even if we know they are not good.
