What size mini-coffee-cup would these fit over? Maybe in a doll-house?
I actually do like the originals quite a bit. But the idea of just grabbing a bag and tossing them in your mouth just seems to ruin the experience. No challenge in that.
I say this whenever stroop waffles appeared during the initial Covid surge: As one of the mainstay snacks of United Airlines, it makes sense that this was offered at a steep (stroop?) discount on meh.
However, the waffles appearing this late in the game is very concerning. I could just be panicking and it has something to do with the January expiration date… But, do the Airlines see the writing on the wall and anticipate a Delta (variant, not the airline) surge will incapacitate air travel once again?
Edit: I just read the meh writeup. Maybe I’m just making mountains out of mini-waffles.
@shiranissosexy@tinamarie1974
United is still using the regular ones on their flights as of a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think this particular variety/size is an airline staple.
@robson If you intend to warm/soften them on top of a cup of coffee, vs. letting them disintegrate into an unappetizing sludge in your morning coffee then, yes, size absolutely does matter!
My wife corrected me on the pronunciation (she is actually Dutch). Stroop rimes with rope. Oh & you gotta kina flutter your tongue a bit at the str. SttrrOPe waffles’!
She (my wife Ingrid) has now informed me that “rimes” is spelled “rhymes”. My defense is “rimes” is a word, that is spelled correctly. However, it is the wrong word.
Enough with this product! Ugh. Bring back useful products & even though I’m a member for s &h at $4.99 monthly, I’d pay more if I could choose which shipping methods I want bc I’m Not receiving my packages. Why doesn’t MEH give me an option for them to HOLD MY PKG AT Either FedEx, USPS? I don’t mind paying a little more s&h if I could go pick up my PKG. Better than not receiving it at all!
OK, since meh decided not to provide this info:
from the Daelmans website
Zip bag with approx. 20 Mini Caramel Stroopwafels
The Stroopwafels have a diameter of 4.5 cm / 1.77 in
The net weight of the bag is 150 g / 5.29 oz
A value multi pack contains 10 zip bags
since the ‘regular’ stroop is about 3.14 inch in diameter, these are about a third the surface area of the regulars. So… the total area of the included waffels is about the same as 70 regulars.
@chienfou main difference is you cannot sit the mini ones on top of your coffee cup to warm up. Which, any fellow European will tell you, is how you’re meant to serve them!
Even with import costs, I’m paying an average of $2 per pack of miniStroop (joys of dual citizenship). With 10 packs. I’m already saving $4 not buying this “deal”… Meh!
I randomly found a single pack of these at the local grocery store on the clearance end cap. I paid $2.39 for them. So the price seems pretty solid. As far as taste goes - these things are pretty dangerous. Serious diet wreckers. Would be flipping amazing slightly warmed (8 seconds in the microwave) and on top of vanilla ice cream
So I got (96) one oz stroopwafels, individually wrapped, for $24. This is the approximate equivalent of (53) 1 oz stroopwafels, NOT individually wrapped, and packaged in a way that will probably cause me to eat the whole bag in two or maybe three sittings. Nah. I’ll pass.
@Thinkerer
see the above imbedded sidedeal link (but generally this offer “expires” soon) BUT that being said, I have easily kept eating mine MONTHS after the “best by” date…
@chienfou@Thinkerer
Yeah the « best by » date on these is not that important. They will never match one you get freshly made from a Markt in Holland, but that said, these are made to be packaged and shipped around the world. and tolerate dozens of take-offs and landings too. if they are already designed to be « best » for months, a few more months really won’t affect them much.
@chienfou@Thinkerer
I’ve also exceeded the “best buy” dates on stroopwafels routinely, and didn’t notice any significant degradation. I bought some at Aldi once that got buried under a pile of Stuff Being Piled Up For a Few Minutes While I Clean Up This Other Thing, and didn’t find them for almost a year. They were still plenty good.
@chienfou@Thinkerer Best by date:
Honey (10.23 oz) Best By 10/20 - 11/18 2021
Chocolate (10.23 oz) Best By 9/24 - 10/15 2021
Maple (10.94 oz.) Best By 9/3 - 10/15 2021
Companies that stamp expiration dates on super-processed foods like breakfast cereal and potato chips and frozen pizza are angling for that same implication. The “best-by” date prods you to think a) there’s actually some nutritional value in there; and b) you’d better hurry up and ingest it before it’s too late
@chienfou Ooo, they’ve got the maple ones again - they’re the best! Thank you! (My bathroom scale does NOT thank you, though.)
EDIT: No, they don’t - they’re all sold out. Sigh.
“…and nine hours of miserable travel, dealing with grueling delays and layovers, packed like sardines inside an aged 737…”
Hate to be that guy, but if you set out for Schipol airport from the US in a 737 (particularly an aged one) you’d either be visiting Newfoundland, Keflavik, and Dublin airports for fuel or swimming a lot.
@werehatrack I was going with the older routes because of the reference to very old versions of the 37. The new-ish models can have ETOPS certification which should get them quite a ways - were you looking at cargo or people?
Hey, yeah - I wanna stroop, baby
(Oooo, how you doin’, baby?
No, not you
You, the waffle-ironed one, (ha-ha) yeah
What’s your name?
Damn, that sounds sexy)
Here I go, here I go, gonna catch some hell (again?)
Girls, what’s my weakness? (Caramel!)
Ok then, chillin’, chillin’, mindin’ my business (word)
Yo, Salt, I checked my lunch, and I couldn’t believe this
I swear, I stared, Irk is my witness
The waffle had it goin’ on with somethin’ kinda… uh
Wicked, wicked (oooo) - my goods kinda smelly
In a sweet good way like that girl in HR - Kelly
A snack ho? No, that don’t make me
See what I wanna bit into it swifty
Going straight to my hips so I dipped back to my bag of tricks
Then I flipped for a tip, make me wanna do tricks for it
Lick it like a Oreo cookie should be licked
Came to my senses and I chilled for a bit
Don’t know how you do the voodoo that you do
So well it’s a spell, hell, hungry now make me want a stroop stroop stroop.
I saw these on Meh previously and wondered what they were. The ones I saw before were the large ones. These were mini’s so I decided to order figuring that mini meant fewer calories. Well that is not exactly true - mini means you eat more of them. These things are delicious. I gave some the USP delivery driver and he thought they were delicious. I gave some to friends and now they are hooked. These things are addictive. I just ordered more directly from the company that makes them.

STROOOOOOOOOOOP!!!
@yakkoTDI Stroop there it is!
/giphy 200
I got these last time. I will not Stroop that low again.
@hchavers I’m still working on mine, but … hm.
I can’t believe meh has strooped to selling mini-waffles.
I still have the regular and jumbo sizes, I don’t think I can stroop this much wafel.
@housepage916
Honey-filled waffle
Retaining stock indicates

What size mini-coffee-cup would these fit over? Maybe in a doll-house?

@pmarin
Then hunt stroopwafels
In their Holland habitat
Or espresso cup

Divining market forces
Or enjoy some stroop
@shiranissosexy maybe google what is happening in China right now for cargo and passenger flights…

Again?
Not today, Satan!
@jmoor783 It’s spelled “Santa.”
@jmoor783 @tweezak “Satin”.
@blaineg @jmoor783 @tweezak
We Satinists are all about shiny, slippery fabrics, preferably soft ones.
@blaineg @jmoor783 @tweezak @werehatrack
Santana!!
Stroop me before I buy again!
I really feel like we need to establish a safeword before I engage in rough stroops.
@brainmist Scheveningen
I guess the real question raised in the write-up on these stroopwafles is this:
Does size matter?
@robson If you intend to warm/soften them on top of a cup of coffee, vs. letting them disintegrate into an unappetizing sludge in your morning coffee then, yes, size absolutely does matter!
@ciabelle @robson
Improved morning fare
Trade coffee for espresso
The cups are smaller
@ciabelle @replicacobra @robson
Or Cuban coffee; the cups are dissolving, drink it fast.
On one hand, I want to get these. On the other hand, the the aching reaction from the root canal I had earlier says no.
@JT954 STROOP There it is!
@JT954
Give it a few days
And several more for shipping
Mouth preparedness
@JT954 @replicacobra
But if Pitney-Bowes
Wait for Christmas holiday
Maybe they arrive
You ask why so long
where did you go all that time
visit Canada
Best by January! Giving the family Stroop for xmas
My wife corrected me on the pronunciation (she is actually Dutch). Stroop rimes with rope. Oh & you gotta kina flutter your tongue a bit at the str. SttrrOPe waffles’!
@Joedetroit
Hope-rhymed confection
Sets my heart all a-flutter
And also my tongue
@Joedetroit And done forget the w is pronounced like a v.
@clarinetbob @Joedetroit
There is much amusement in pronouncing Waffle House as it would be in a North Cental European language. Pick one.
@clarinetbob @Joedetroit @werehatrack
vaafel-haus
or in Swiss-German, -huus
She (my wife Ingrid) has now informed me that “rimes” is spelled “rhymes”. My defense is “rimes” is a word, that is spelled correctly. However, it is the wrong word.

YW.
@chienfou main difference is you cannot sit the mini ones on top of your coffee cup to warm up. Which, any fellow European will tell you, is how you’re meant to serve them!
@Farstrydr
Mais oui!
Unless you are in a cafe having an expresso… maybe…
@chienfou @Farstrydr Based on the weight of the bag, there are about (5) 1 oz Stroopwafels per bag. Or 50 regular Stroopwafels.
@Trinityscrew
good point… so maybe these are thicker/denser?
Even with import costs, I’m paying an average of $2 per pack of miniStroop (joys of dual citizenship). With 10 packs. I’m already saving $4 not buying this “deal”… Meh!

Biscoff cookies (the best). Bischoff is a surname.
I am not yet at the end of my Meh stroop. May. Voteffer.
So I got (96) one oz stroopwafels, individually wrapped, for $24. This is the approximate equivalent of (53) 1 oz stroopwafels, NOT individually wrapped, and packaged in a way that will probably cause me to eat the whole bag in two or maybe three sittings. Nah. I’ll pass.
Or you can get THESE at the sister site
(64 jumbo for $29)
@chienfou “Best by” date? These are often near the end of their sales shelf-life.

@Thinkerer I was wondering about that long-range 737…
@Thinkerer
Oddly enough, I had to research that very topic for someone recently. Newfoundland and Oslo also works for the less-ancient models.
@Thinkerer … Keflavik …
gdi, I want to travel again. What is wrong with these horrible people.
@werehatrack I was going with the older routes because of the reference to very old versions of the 37. The new-ish models can have ETOPS certification which should get them quite a ways - were you looking at cargo or people?
