      I am still trying to parse why you would need milk for vegan chips. I get that some chips aren't vegan because lard is used. But milk? Like is milk vinegar a thing? Do they extract salt from milk instead of oh I don't know grabbing some sea water?

      The world makes less sense everyday.

        A lot of chips use whey as a binder and for texture. 🙃

          Yeah whey is really sticky so it's an easy and cheap way to make flavors stick better to chips. I've found that Great Value S&V chips don't go this route and more expensive bands don't as well but Lay's and Pringles are pretty big on using whey.

    Vegan products for decades: wow we don't happen to have dairy! lovely!

    Vegan products around 2019-2024: what if I add 0.5% milk powder for that sweet, sweet state dairy subsidy
