One of the stocking fillers I got for Christmas was a bag of Maple Bacon flavoured mixed nuts. I have just looked at the package and it says "suitable for vegetarians"! WTF!!? There is no maple syrup (meh) and no bacon listed in the ingredients. The nearest it has been to a pig is probably when the delivery truck drove within 50 miles of a farm on its way to Tesco.
How can they get away with stuff like that?

Just curious: Did they actually taste anything like maple and bacon? And if so: How the Hill did they manage to get it to do that?

No - slightly smoky and a bit sweet, but not bacon-like at all.
Ingredients of the seasoning:
Smoked dextrose
Demerara sugar
Yeast extract
Sugar
Salt
Thyme
Onion powder
Citric acid
Paprika (for colour)

That's why it says "suitable for vegetarians". Presumably, those who actually eat bacon would know the difference...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I tried bacon toothpaste[^] bought on Amazon once (and never again!).
It also just tasted smoky, but no bacon. Strange that some people seem to think that that's the same thing?!?!?
As far as the toothpaste is concerned, it didn't foam at all, so it was useless as toothpaste all the same, bacon or no bacon taste...

It's aimed at the Muslim Halal market I guess.

I think it is not just limited for "Muslim Halal Market". Is it?

I wouldn't think it was suitable for Muslims as it mentions bacon. I was being facetious about a bacon flavour snack being vegetarian and as it contained no meat (especially pig) it could be used by Muslims.

Like Baconnaise[^], which doesn't taste like bacon either!
I'm very septic to anything claiming to taste like bacon without any actual bacon in it!

Get away with what? 'Flavoured' products are not required to contain any of the ingredients which they are meant to taste like. Even the endless screeds of EU regulations don't demand it. There's no banana in most banana milk shakes, no hedgehog in hedgehog crisps, and probably no butter in your butter biscuits. Caveat emptor, amice, caveat emptor!

Yeah, and no chefs in Chef Salad!

That's because it's Chef's Salad.
Lack of punctuation can kill. There's a big difference between "Let's eat, Grandma" and "Let's eat Grandma".
