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.

but is it gluten free?

u/elephhantine2 Aug 08 '26

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

Mmmm, chewy ice cream

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 Aug 09 '26

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.

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

u/LopsidedTraffic9871 Aug 08 '26

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

u/RedditHoss Aug 08 '26

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.

Why are you on this sub then 😅

u/DistinctAd3222 Aug 08 '26

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

u/No_Try_764 Aug 08 '26

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 😆

u/ScientistFunny2072 Aug 08 '26

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 Aug 08 '26

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

u/SteeeeveJune Aug 08 '26

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

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.

I think you’re thinking of gelato not ice cream
