I reach for the margarine shelf personally.

A.) I'm incredibly lazy and very much enjoy how margarine is nice and soft even when straight out of the fridge.

B.) I kinda prefer the taste tbh.

both exist in vegan variants.

I would argue there are decent alternatives but truthfully I only tried vegan margarine. Which was totally ok

Isn't all margarine vegan as it's synthesized from vegetable oils?

I’ve seen some brands that use milk anyway because fuck you

The amount of food that shouldn't contain milk but does is also a joke.

Don't get me started on how we force milk down the throats of student. (Or.... Well I guess you could get me started.)

"Oh what's that? You want water instead of milk? Well fuck you, pay for it loser!"

Really annoyed me back when I was still in school. And I'm lactose tolerant! I just.... Stopped liking milk as a drink.

Oh yeah i've always hated the taste too. Cutting out dairy helped my intolerance, I get less acid and digestive issues.

Almost all of them sprinkle in a little milk powder specifically to spite me.
