What is Thingtesting?
We’re on a mission to build the corner of the internet where people can come together to talk honestly about new things. At Thingtesting, we believe that with the ever increasing number of brands launching online, coupled with the rise of fake reviews, paid influencers, and cherry-picked endorsements, it’s becoming outright impossible to know who and what to trust.
As a place to discover and authenticate new brands, Thingtesting is not sponsored or paid by the brands in our directory. Our only incentive is to help you make more informed purchase decisions. Our success is based on participation from people like you and we’re excited you’re here to test things with us!

Raw VeganismGive your stove a break with this diet that excludes all food and products of animal origin, as well as food cooked at a temperature above 48°C (118°F). The idea is that heating food destroys its nutrients and natural enzymes that boost digestion and fight chronic disease.
FruitarianismThis very controversial diet is a subset of raw veganism and involves—as its name suggests—a diet consisting of about 75% raw fruit by weight, and 25% nuts and seeds. Managed improperly, you will not be able to get all your nutritional needs from this diet. The late Steve Jobs adopted fruitarianism for some time claiming it fueled his creativity, but when actor Ashton Kutcher tried it for a month before playing Jobs in a film, he wound up in hospital.
Ovo-vegetarianism“Ovo” is the Latin word for egg and this type of vegetarianism allows for the consumption of eggs but not dairy products. The driving motivations are based on the perceived cruelty of the industrial practice of keeping a cow constantly lactating and slaughtering unwanted male calves, as opposed to egg-laying hens which produce unfertilized eggs for consumption.
Lacto-vegetarianismConversely, lacto-vegetarians (“lacto” from the Latin root word for milk) do consume dairy products but cut out eggs from their diets. Lacto-vegetarian diets are popular with many followers of the Eastern religious traditions such as Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism.
Ovo-lacto-vegetarianism/VegetarianismWhen someone says they’re vegetarian, this is what they usually mean. General vegetarians do not consume meat of any kind, but eat both dairy and egg products. This is a great starting point if you want to go green and it is a relatively easy diet to follow with adequate calcium and protein intake.
PescetarianismA pescetarian’s diet includes fish and seafood in addition to vegetarian foods such as beans, vegetables, fruits, dairy and grains. Looking for sustainable seafood sources benefits the environment, while including fish in a vegetarian diet will ensure a healthy amount of iron.
FlexitarianismHere’s one for those not quite ready to commit. You can still do your part for the environment and your health by reducing meat consumption through movements like Meatless Monday which has been embraced around the world. This diet is more about adopting a healthier eating habit by including more vegetarian meals and seeing meat as more of an occasional accompaniment.
