Brother I don't know what to tell you. Chick'n, Bac'n, Be'ef etc. are well-known vegan susbtitutes for the pun'd meats. Most of them explicitly say they're vegan on the box. That's not shrinkflation, you just didn't read the package.

My Brother in Christ I don't know why anyone would assume Bac'n bits are not made of Bacon...

I am reading the container it says

Bac'n Pieces BACON FLAVORED BITS Great Bacon Flavor! artificially flavored

Yeah, most wasabi is basically just colored horseradish.

I've had real wasabi and it's just a completely different flavor profile. The heat is less pronounced, and just has far better flavor overall.
