OK I looked back at my last few orders and shockingly they all made it up here to the Seattle area in just over a week. So what the heck, I’ll take the risk.
@Num1Zero IMO, the original caramel are the best of the flavors (at least for the bigger-sized cookies). But I also ate the chocolate and the honey-flavored ones in past orders.
@Num1Zero@Trinityscrew They were OK, but not up to my expectations, compared to the caramel.
To me, caramel > maple > honey > chocolate. (But I still ate and enjoyed the chocolate – all good with coffee.)
Too much danger that there would be leftovers here, as we typically get less than a dozen kids all evening. And we’re cutting way back on this kind of thing for ourselves. Pass, though I might still have grabbed it if the maple flavor was an option.
@Euniceandrich@werehatrack Make the kids answer quiz questions for extras – math and/or history. (I think that should make you even more famous …)
Though that might not solve the problem of leftovers.
Check out this introspective story of a displaced Dutch person in Canada, a stroopwafel desert until recently, yearning for a taste of her youth. Good read
It seems you take ordinary things for granted until you can no longer have them or get poor imitations which lack the essence you seek. Examples are your Mother/Grandmother’s cooking, breads, pies, cakes, etc., common regional foods of youth, and so on.
There are folks to whom a stroopwafel is a touch point to their forever lost past. And then there are Meh customers who only know stroopwafels because of Covid induced market changes, but who love them anyway as a new found delight.
I know the feeling. Having been raised in the South, when I lived in the Northeast, I missed turnip greens, bacon rinds, cracklin corn bread, Krispy Kreme doughnuts fresh from the fryer, certain fresh vegetables such as okra. When I moved back South forty years later, I missed hoagies and mushroom cheese steak subs on an Italian roll, TastyKakes, lemon ice, and more.
I love these things, but if you’re looking at these even though you don’t give out Halloween treats, it’s not a good deal. 200 individually wrapped 0.28 oz. cookies may be good for handing out, but you’re only getting 56 net ounces for each set purchased. At $29, that’s almost 52¢ per ounce. On Sept 23, 2021, I purchased through Meh some mini-SW’s which also cost $29, however, there were twelve bags of twenty five mini’s, with each bag weighing 7.04 oz., for a total weight of 84.48 oz. This works out to just over 34¢ per oz., which means that this offering costs almost 17.5¢ more per oz. than the non-individually wrapped prior offering. To me, I’d rather not spend all that additional money for individually wrapped cookies unless I NEEDED to have them individually wrapped. Since I don’t, there’s no need to pay for all that individual packaging.
“you know and enjoy on select Continental flights.” Only with a time machine since Continental flights disappeared when they merged with United in 2012. I believe United does serve them at times, or did.
@x2o Sorry to hear you are flying so much! Well, maybe you actually like it. I used to enjoy flights but they are much less enjoyable (putting it mildly) for me now. Since our March 10, 2020 (the edge of the pandemic) flight home we have flown twice and I don’t think United had these on our flights; we may just have been unlucky.
These are really good, I’ve bought them from meh 2 or 3 times. But I think I’ve got to stop & not order this time, they are freakin good & I eat too many
Stroopwafels are my personal tragedy. I have never found a brand for sale that did not contain soy flour, and I have a soy intolerance. I have therefore never tasted a stroopwafel. Every time I see a stroopwafel, I look hopefully at its ingredients list, and my hopes are dashed yet again. Around me, I see my friends speaking rapturously of stroopwafels. It is a joy I shall never share.
@heartny@YannaUsagi Wow! Good find! I searched a little but wasn’t successful. I did find a brand that uses “lupin flour” but it turns out that lupin seeds are related to soy beans.
As a kid in the 90’s growing up with the name Stroop, Stroop Dog was a commonly heard phrase. Also heard a lot was “Stroop, there it is!” and the follow up to the question of “Who let the dogs out?” was certainly not barking, but my name shouted repeatedly.
This has invested me with the power to unequivocally state that these treats are tasty. Buy some.
Been waiting for mine for nearly two weeks now. They’ve been “in transit” from a facility 10 miles from my house for a week.
Was hoping to have them for Halloween at work. Guess I’m stupid for thinking they’d get here by then.
Fedex sucks and has always been terrible.

These are also edible.
Hmm. Do I really trust these will make it here in less than two weeks?
OK I looked back at my last few orders and shockingly they all made it up here to the Seattle area in just over a week. So what the heck, I’ll take the risk.
/giphy merry-boring-ant
@The_Tim I just ordered mine a few minutes ago, so they can put them into the delivery vans tonight!
(I’m also optimistic that our beloved Congressmen will work together, for the good of the country.)
@phendrick @The_Tim
To hand out on Halloween…of this year??
@JvB Not if DeVoss has anything to say about it.
/giphy sporty-costly-koala
@aarond12 @JvB
*DeJoy. DeVos was the one ruining the Department of Education. DeJoy is the one running the USPS into the ground.
$0.145 each little package – not too bad for handouts. (And wouldn’t feel too guilty for eating a bunch, mice elf.)
@phendrick
At this price I am willing to fatten up my kids. Are the chocolate any good?
@Num1Zero IMO, the original caramel are the best of the flavors (at least for the bigger-sized cookies). But I also ate the chocolate and the honey-flavored ones in past orders.
@Num1Zero @phendrick And when you ate the chocolate and honey ones, what did you think of them?
@Num1Zero they are all good, but the chocolate is by far my least favorite
@Commonwealth109 @Num1Zero
Same here - the chocolate is not great.
@Commonwealth109 @Kyeh @Num1Zero Kind of chocolate flavored dirt.
@Num1Zero @Trinityscrew They were OK, but not up to my expectations, compared to the caramel.
To me, caramel > maple > honey > chocolate. (But I still ate and enjoyed the chocolate – all good with coffee.)
Expiration date next year – not too liable to have any left past this year.
So close to pulling the trigger until i noticed you can only get 200 of the same flavor, i wish it was assorted
@Hojeij47 Can you order 200 of each flavor?
Would buy if this was a variety pack for $29.
Ungh, why no variety pack?
Probably gonna do it anyway, because we are at stroopwafel season.
I’ve never tried these and don’t REALLY want to, but kinda do. But I’m also insulin dependent, so screw you, Meh!
RIP OFF NO MELTED CANDY CORN??? So disappointed in you meh
/giphy melted candy corn
Too much danger that there would be leftovers here, as we typically get less than a dozen kids all evening. And we’re cutting way back on this kind of thing for ourselves. Pass, though I might still have grabbed it if the maple flavor was an option.
@werehatrack Same here, the maple is the best!
@werehatrack Give each kid 10. You’ll be famous. And have fewer leftovers.
@Euniceandrich @werehatrack Make the kids answer quiz questions for extras – math and/or history. (I think that should make you even more famous …)

@Jackinga a tale so sad I actually just cried
Stroop, there it is! (Someone had to do it)
@hchavers But how did you pronounce it?

@CatFriend Thanks for doing the math, 34¢ is also about the going rate per oz on the Walmart site, where you can get these shipped to store.
It’s sweets week at Meh!
“you know and enjoy on select Continental flights.” Only with a time machine since Continental flights disappeared when they merged with United in 2012. I believe United does serve them at times, or did.
@andyw Can confirm they are still handing these out, fly w/ United multiple times a month and see these on 90% of flights.
@x2o Sorry to hear you are flying so much! Well, maybe you actually like it. I used to enjoy flights but they are much less enjoyable (putting it mildly) for me now. Since our March 10, 2020 (the edge of the pandemic) flight home we have flown twice and I don’t think United had these on our flights; we may just have been unlucky.
Can anyone give me a diameter for the mini size? Or a comparison? I really have no idea how small these are?
@wootcat They’re about the size of a 50 cent piece.
Went for it. A different thing for Halloween this year.
Thanks for keeping my sack tight, meh!
My sack full of stroopwafels of course!
/giphy tight-advanced-sack

Palm oil = no sale

@YannaUsagi These are soy free:

@heartny @YannaUsagi Wow! Good find! I searched a little but wasn’t successful. I did find a brand that uses “lupin flour” but it turns out that lupin seeds are related to soy beans.
I’m on a diet, and right now I could probably eat 100 of these in one pop
@Hiz … and recycle, in one poop…

Just about finished with the other mini stroopwaffels, so must buy more!
/giphy trusted-blonde-dancer
I see a same price offering at MorningSave.com
If you have a coupon or VMP you can save a little by buying there.
@Euniceandrich I should have looked there. But those are not individually wrapped so giving out for halloween wouldn’t work as well.
@Euniceandrich @raccoon81 They are individually wrapped but it’s a daybreak sale so coupons and VMP don’t work.
@Euniceandrich @raccoon81 @sammydog01 And amusingly, the Bonus Deal is this - to make sure you don’t eat them all yourself before Halloween, I guess?
Received shipping notification today. So now it’s up to FedEx. Uh-oh…
Update: My stroopwafels arrived this afternoon! Thanks, Meh!
WOW! Me, too - they’ve already shipped! Well; tie me up & slap me silly, it looks like they really will be here in time for Halloween.
Mine are already here in Florida.
Been waiting for mine for nearly two weeks now. They’ve been “in transit” from a facility 10 miles from my house for a week.
Was hoping to have them for Halloween at work. Guess I’m stupid for thinking they’d get here by then.
