@caffeineguy Made in the same factory as stuff with possibly any of those nuts, so they list them all to cover liability. I mean, they list 10 kinds of nuts, soy, milk, gluten, and milk is the only one of those things in the ingredients, unless they are using whole cans of mixed nuts, soy and flour in the natural and artificial flavoring.
I’ve had these. They are very delicious. Warn all the exercise equipment you have purchased here that it needs to be on standby by for immediate response.
@cfg83@tongo Actually the picture of the back of the package at Walmart says that there are 4 servings of 4 marshmallows per bag. So 16 per bag in total. I don’t care or anything, since I’m not buying these. I just supply math for those who wish to accurately count marshmallows…
It takes stones to link to the product at Walmart, where three reviewers have given it a lofty 2.7 star rating. I’m going to pass, but I enjoy the unusual offering.
@jeffcohen feel the need to jump in here, we too were concerned by those reviews so before we placed this buy, we did some major investigative journalism and tried them. I would like to meet these people who gave bad reviews. They have no taste buds.
Yep I think that’s my surprise, though. Why not link to Amazon’s reviews if they’re better?
And yes, 3 is indeed a small sample size. I was just having fun with the post. To be clear, the 2.7 rating is not the reason I’m not buying them. I just can’t use that many, especially with that best-by date.

I actually have a manual version, a 22" Challenge, out in my garage/shop. Which reminds me, I need to cut a ream of paper into eighths for trivia night answer slips.
There are nights when I wonder why some product stooped so low that it was being sold on meh. I started to wonder about that tonight, then I saw the word coconut.
@phelmurh
And candy corn was still better than the horrible “Bit-O-Honey” things that were far too often inflicted on the trick-or-treaters back when I was a kid.
I’d put today’s Meh item several steps up from that level, but it’s all a matter of taste. I’m sure that there is someone, somewhere, who likes every single one of the atrocities in a Whitman’s Sampler, for that matter.
@dam091 It is in the header, don’t want to chance it. I have a package of something similar, but with strawberry flavored marshmallow just sitting in my cabinet until I find someone who likes dark chocolate. I went by the picture in that case, and dark wasn’t mentioned.
Guys. I’m the buyer here again so I have to say I’m biased, but I’m really not. Do you like dark chocolate? Do you like coconut? Do you like marshmallows? If the answer is yes, you will love these. Seriously, they’re delish.
@sammydog01 I mean, to each their own but I was a big fan of these and so were pretty much everyone else that tasted them, both in our office and my household. That being said, I’m a huge coconut fan, mounds and almond joys are my jam.
$2 at big lots down the street, or $1.50 on meh with uncertain delivery time and a fast approaching sell-by date. Going to pass on these. I need more of a deal to pull the trigger. Hoping for good stocking stuffer treats to come though!
Love dark chocolate and coconut. Unsure about the marshmallow but am assuming it will work out. Will disperse among friends so I’m not the only one eating it lol
Or maybe the marketing department wanted to keep it simple. Who knows?
Or maybe the marketing people all went silent and dark during the long days of plague, and the honest folks in Manufacturing did the description instead. I hate fluff in product blurbs even more than I hate indestructible overinflated finger-slashing heat-sealed multilayer clamshell packaging. This has neither; kudoes for that.
Wandering further afield, there are many things I do not want to find contaminating my chocolate, and while I will put up with marshmallow if I know that the chocolate is plentiful enough and of desirable dark goodness, the presence of marshmallow is not a plus. OTOH, list “nougat” as an ingredient and I’m almost always outa there, usually at about Warp 6. Caramel; ick. Nuts aside from coconut, just not gonna fly. Can you tell that my reaction to a Milky Way or a Snickers is “I should prefer not to”?
Happily, this year’s T|T handout stash here is a bag of mostly the stuff I disdain, so my waistline will most likely reach Turkey Week unexpanded.
I would eat today’s Meh selection if it were before me, but I won’t go out of my way to acquire it.
@werehatrack For a moment there, I was intrigued by the idea of a tit handout, then I cleaned my glasses and looked a little closer. [I suggest use of the actual word “or” next time, when encased in t’s (tease?)]
Hey, anyone at Meh: @mandirose, @ChadP.? Thanks for sending these out by FedEx. And, wow, so fast. Anyway, I have high hopes that they won’t all be smashed into nothing less blobs.
Got mine about 4 hours ago and had to try them posthaste. Was going to eat only four of them. First couple tasted pretty good. Scarfed down two more and had to grab another four. By then, the artificial flavors and meager amount of dry coconut were becoming more obvious. Didn’t want anymore after those eight. i put the bag away for later sampling.
Definitely best to ration these.
Overall, 3 out of 5 stars for the candy. But 5 of 5 for Meh’s speedy delivery service. Arrived quite in time for Halloween, though they are not packaged well for that. I’d say they are worth the money Meh charged, but I wouldn’t rush to the store for more, even at this price. I have better dark chocolate available for my fix. But if I see some on closeout next week, I’ll pick up some more.
They’re good! But anyone who passed on them because of the coconut - it’s almost undetectable, just kind of a decorative sprinkle on the outside and a barely noticeable texture; no coconut flavor at all. It’s still hard to stop scarfing them though!
Instant self loathing for not grabbing this delicious deal… Also loath that I felt compelled to share my self loathing… Oh beautiful marshmallows- you’re covered in chocolate but I’m covered in shame…

@caffeineguy @Kyeh they are in a snack vending machine out in the employee lunchroom.
Nobody in their right mind would think about using these for trick-or-treat too good that’s what tootsie rolls are for
I’ve had these. They are very delicious. Warn all the exercise equipment you have purchased here that it needs to be on standby by for immediate response.
12 marshmallows for 18 bucks? That’s $1.5 dollars per marshmallow. No thanks, meh.
@cfg83 think of Walmart @ $3.28 per marsh!
@cfg83 each package had four marshmallows. Still pricey, but you also get chocolate and coconut with said marshmallow.
@cfg83 @tongo Actually the picture of the back of the package at Walmart says that there are 4 servings of 4 marshmallows per bag. So 16 per bag in total. I don’t care or anything, since I’m not buying these. I just supply math for those who wish to accurately count marshmallows…
@cfg83 @shahnm @tongo so in total it is 18/(12x16)… or $.09375 per mallow
@cfg83 @mbersiam @shahnm @tongo And the marsh is thrown in for free? What a deal!

There are nights when I wonder why some product stooped so low that it was being sold on meh. I started to wonder about that tonight, then I saw the word coconut.
I no longer wonder.
Tempted but it is too much of an unknown.
Maybe there will be a pack in my IRK that shipped today.
To paraphrase the song, these have 2 of my least favorite things! (Marshmallow & coconut…
)
Well, that seems like a nice sna- oh. Coconut. Sometimes you get a reminder of why something winds up on a clearance reseller website.

@Faffs is it actually dark chocolate? Doesn’t say so on the package, and it doesn’t look like it in the pics

@mandirose In order, No. Yes. Yes.
@sammydog01 I mean, to each their own but I was a big fan of these and so were pretty much everyone else that tasted them, both in our office and my household. That being said, I’m a huge coconut fan, mounds and almond joys are my jam.
@mandirose I love both almond joy and mounds but the best would be almond joy with dark chocolate.
@sammydog01
I’m pretty particular about my dark chocolate. I don’t like when it’s too bitter.
@mandirose That’s a lot of marshmallows, but I love dark chocolate and coconut. I wonder if they can be frozen for later?
@Barney that’s a great question. I honestly think they be delicious frozen too now that you say that
@mandirose I’ll probably give it a try.
@Barney @mandirose I give them a solid 4 out of 10. Which is lower than my leftover halloween candy. But I’ve eaten worse things.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Barney @sammydog01I don’t know if I trust someone who says they don’t like them…
@mandirose To be fair, @sammydog01 didn’t exactly say that she doesn’t like them.
@Barney @mandirose I do like them. Sort of. I have very low standards in candy.
@mandirose See? @sammydog01 does like them. Sort of…
Sadly, the presence of dark chocolate and coconut is not enough to redeem the marshmallow contamination. I’ll pass.

So I got a little more curious than maybe I should, and ordered them anyway.
They have arrived.
They have been sampled.
Meh. Basically, sugar fluff with too little chocolate or coconut to assert a dominant presence. Not outstanding in any direction whatsoever.
This includes “Not outstandingly bad or disappointing”; they are edible, but pretty much unremarkable in every way.
Got mine about 4 hours ago and had to try them posthaste. Was going to eat only four of them. First couple tasted pretty good. Scarfed down two more and had to grab another four.
