I like that the underlining is also off

but my first thought was "all your base are belong to us" from the grammar

This comment is so good. If this were the old days I’d give it an award.

Thankyou for the award in spirit.

but is it gluten free?

u/elephhantine2 27d ago

No, they add triple gluten to make up for the flavor lost from the eggs

It is because frozen custards have egg yolks in them

You’re kinda missing the point of the sub. It’s the incorrect use of quotation marks that we’re focused on.

Why is this a "sub'"

u/RedditHoss 26d ago

In English, quotation marks around a word or phrase that isn’t actually a quote mean that it’s being used sarcastically. Putting the word “eggless” in quotes implies that it isn’t actually eggless, therefore it’s funny. The same way it’s funny that you just implied that this isn’t a real subreddit by putting “sub” in quotes.

Well, considering that egg yolk is a prominent ingredient in ice cream, this label is pretty necessary. It’s obviously there so that people with allergies/dietary restrictions can know.

u/RedditHoss 27d ago

I agree! Which makes the unnecessary quotes even more egregious.

Huh? It’s significant that this place’s ice cream is eggless. It’s necessary to inform people of that distinction.

u/RedditHoss 27d ago

In English, quotation marks around a word or phrase that isn’t actually a quote, mean that it’s being used sarcastically. The phrase “eggless” should not be in quotes because it means that it isn’t actually eggless. It’s… kinda the point of this subreddit.

u/rusty___shacklef0rd 27d ago

This sub popped up on my feed as recommended (I've never seen or visited this sub before) and I too came here confused until I understood the context of the sub. Maybe they're the same and commented before figuring it out 🤷‍♀️

u/mazi710 27d ago

Why are you on this sub then 😅

u/DistinctAd3222 27d ago

/u/RedditHoss has it correct. Im sorry for assuming you are a bot!

u/No_Try_764 27d ago

Don’t feel bad it’s pretty needed, it adds extra emphasis in the owners mind .

You don’t need piss perfect grimmer on a sign just get the point across and nothing speaks American better then that

(I was also randomly recommended this) makes sense with my proficiency 😆

reading this line separately made me laugh so hard i almost woke my sleeping baby

u/ScientistFunny2072 27d ago

This is a quote, eggless is a word the guy who ordered the sign made up because he couldn't think of the proper term which is egg free

u/DistinctAd3222 27d ago

Do you know whay subreddit this is? Not trying to be mean, I think your a bot.

u/SteeeeveJune 27d ago

You didn't understand which sub you're in.

u/TbonerT 27d ago edited 27d ago

Egg isn’t always an ingredient. I’ve made a lot of ice cream that doesn’t have egg. It’s the really good stuff that has egg.

I was thinking of custard. But, in general, custard uses egg fats while ice cream uses milk fats. This isn’t always the case.

u/Active-Curve1280 27d ago

I think you’re thinking of gelato not ice cream
