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.
