I feel like this would be a much easier buy if it was priced at fiddy and zero cents a packet. (but in all fairness, i probably am not their target audience to begin with)
Here’s the problem. My wife works in this industry and reminds me of this when I see cheap chocolate. If the expiration is in April, that means these have been sitting for up to 18 to 24 months. Organic could have a shorter shelf life, but the bottom line is, this is old chocolate.
@axemurderer The standard issue stones, BUT during the pandemic I was eating alot of peanut butter crackers and cup o’ noodles. If I had hydrated correctly during that time, then it would have been a non-issue. I can totally eat peanut-butter, but I am NOT going to pay for it, especially a 24 pack.
@JT954 Given the history of meltable things sold by Meh, I would imagine there is little chance they aren’t melted. Maybe they can include a knife to help cut chunks off…
Theo’s flagship factory store was my FAVORITE place to take friends visiting Seattle- the tour was interesting, the samples were abundant, and it was a source of pride to have such an ethical, thoughtful company selling my favorite food right here in my city. When it was sold to the American Licorice Company a few years ago, it was a blow- production moved out of state, everyone was laid off. It’s still sometimes touted as a local company. I can’t speak to whether the quality of the chocolate has changed since the company that produces Red Vines took over, since I’ve moved on to other local chocolate brands for my hoity toity chocolate consumption, but I did love the dark chocolate PB cups for a long time especially because the PB they used was local CB’s Nuts peanut butter.
All of this to say: this is probably still an excellent peanut butter cup, but the nostalgia of what they once were will keep me from buying 24 of them to find out.

@mediocrebot @medz Those little peanut critters are creepy-good.

@somf69 Peanut butter was one of my kidney stone vectors, so peanut butter is verboten.
@somf69 “My wife works in this industry”
@somf69 “sitting for up to 18 to 24 months.”
THE HORROR
@cfg83
??? how? what kind of stones do you develop?
pb isn’t exactly high in oxalates (unlike chocolate)

@cfg83 seriously? between pb, crackers, and cup o’noodles, you concluded that pb was the problem? come on, man.
@axemurderer You must be one of those secret pb boosters that big-pb is paying on the sly. How many cups are they paying you per post,
?
I’m literally not gonna bite.
@somf69 well said. There is always a reason something is so “cheap.”
Hard pass.
I would buy these if I knew they would not be melted from the Florida heat on arrival.

Best by they won’t last that long on this house….

Time for the obligatory
Peanuts are organic??? Who knew?
Like these?
At one time, Theo was my favorite brand.
Peanut butter and chocolate together is something I dislike.
Instant pass.

@ItalianScallion @werehatrack Same.
@werehatrack It’s ok to be wrong, you can still be forgiven
Oh yeah! In for 48. Gotta make sure I don’t run out before the expiration date.
