Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Even then, oat milk could be sold cheaper than real milk. But they know their target customer is willing to pay a premium for a plant based product
Does anyone remember margarine? It’s mostly as good as any other butter, was historically much cheaper, and actually better in things like butter cream frosting (makes it lighter and fluffier).
My wife has developed an allergy to dairy in the last 5 years and all these alternative butters are ridiculously overpriced, but many of them seem to just be margarine with vegan butter branding Some of them like Miyokos are kinda terrible sometimes, or smell like fish oil when heated in a pan.
Remember? Why would people forget about it?
Is it rare where you're from? Here in Australia, I consider margarine the norm. To the point that if I say I'm having "vegemite and butter" or "jam and butter" on bread/toast, I expect people will know that I actually mean margarine, not butter. In any context other than baking, in fact, I'd expect "butter" to actually mean margarine.
I've been exclusively using margarine with butter aroma for years, that stuff is pretty good. Not sure if that aroma would trigger a dairy allergy or if it's actually vegan, though.
It’s like an acid response for her that causes her throat to swell. Not quite an allergy but feels similar to one i guess (she has a strong pine nuts allergy that she carries an EpiPen for).
I started buying that because it's half the price of butter and tastes okay but it's certainly not as nice as butter.
do you have a favorite brand of margarine for popcorn? we have a friend who recently became lactose intolerant and i still want to be able to make her good popcorn when she and hers are over.
Melt brand vegan butter is decent, though it’s pretty much just margarine from memory. Or I think the Trader Joe’s brand too, but I haven’t been there in a while so I’m not sure.
They do make the popcorn a bit more soggy than real butter though from what I’ve noticed.
We add brewers yeast and salt as well, adds a nice umami flavor and soaks up some of the margarine.
