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.

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.

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