(I’m supposed to be swearing off carbs, I have to hope I can clear some freezer space to stash these in.)(Doan gimme that chocosnob stuff about tempachers. Ima no what Ima do.)
@jmrobinett I don’t know why giphy picked up this particular moment of Fred Astaire about to mow down a line of dancers with a cane, but this is the second this week and it makes me happy every time.
@jmrobinett@mossygreen Hey, i thought giphy thought i was special! Oh well, I’ll have to get my self-esteem boost elsewhere. On a side note, i find this gif kinda creepy, the way the chorus line marches up into view like a gang of automatons or something. I wondered if it was from a movie, i need to plan for my next Halloween streaming binge.
@ircon96@jmrobinett It’s from Top Hat, and the end of the number is literally him pretending to shoot them all one by one with his cane, so while it’s not Halloween-y as such, it definitely reads as creepy today.
PS Of COURSE you’re special, how many people get weird Fred Astaire gifs?
@mossygreen Thanks, I’ll have to add that to my unending watchlist! I’m woefully underinformed about Fred Astaire numbers, Irving Berlin, and musicals in general, especially pre-WWII, apparently. That clip was very entertaining, although i agree, the finale definitely has a different tint to it now, in light of the sickeningly quotidian incidence of mass shootings these days!
@katbyter@troy Yeah I was disappointed with the Brookside once I realized what they really were (and were not). Overall they were Meh! So if today’s product is better than Meh, that’s not very Meh-diocre at all.
Appreciate the option to mix dark and light chocolate. Mehtizens usually complain when you have to buy all of one. So I’ll just be a pain and complain that I’d like to pick fruit flavors. Don’t like chocolate with apricot.
I’m not the greatest mathemat-ician, but I noticed the 90oz & the 5.6Lbs. Well, the packets shown are 70g x .0353=.248+oz & that’s close to ¼oz, so 4 pkts would equal close to 1oz. That .means ya gotta have 90x4, or 360 packets to make 90oz of your choice of Frookits. So, tell me where my math is off, and where does 36 fit into the fn equation¿? I wanna buy these for the Probiotic benefits, but I would like to get what I pay for!! I just bought 100 Gal of damn Propane, so I ain’t in the best of moods!!
@OutbackJon, Okay, Thanks, for setting me straight. I just couldn’t figure out where I was going wrong. That’s what happens as ya get old, take medications, then wake up after midnight & try to do a bit of math. LOL,…My Bad!!
@ladyhawke001, 1st of all, It Was And Honor To Serve For You & I Sincerely Appreciate The Grand Offer, But, Please, Do Give Them To A Child, Or A Homeless Veteran & Thank You Kind Lady!
@megalomani Unless you like the idea of those various strains of bacteria in your gut battling it out in a Darwinian cage match to the death.

@Mavyn, it says it may [so it does] contain tree nuts, or nuts grown in trees, or Peanuts, which are nuts grown in the ground. Ya probably need to stay away from these!!
@mwoody450 Besides, they all have Confectioner’s glaze to seal them, and give them their shine. This material is a resin secreted by the female lac bug, which is collected, purified, and used for a multitude of purposes. It is also known as shellac.
So these, and many other similar shaped individual candies on the market are not vegan, solely because they are coated with confectioner’s glaze…
@lm404, Yeah, me too, but I am definitely happy they quit pushing that darn God forsaken Candy Corn!! I still have some from two years ago!! Really¿? Really!!
I’m impressed that meh had the restraint not to compare to the price on the product website, which would have totaled $162. https://www.frookits.com/products.php
Also, all the product details on that site have $800 crossed out, which is a bit weird, but you could go really nuts and claim today’s deal is worth $4800.
Mine arrived, and have been subjected to Initial Quality Control Testing.
APPROVED!
The fruit is fruity, and the chocolate is decent choccy. as for the probiotic part, I can’t really tell if it’s significant, but it might be working, and it certainly did not cause me any problems.
Just got our Frookits and that was my Meh.com maiden voyage. They’re delicious! If they’re all as good as the apricot ones I’m fully onboard. They’re going in everyone’s Christmas stocking. Pleased with the quick shipping, too. Meh gets an A for effort!
Received my order of Frookits Dark Chocolate Covered Fruit today. Dug into the Cherry first and loved it!! I am very impressed with the quality and taste of these. Looking forward to getting more and sharing them with others.
I got mine and they are really good! The apricot is my favorite though I did find a little piece of a pit or something, thankfully I didn’t bite down hard on it. That would’ve been funny, considering I didn’t buy the corn snacks do to tooth crackin’ fears.
The packaging had some Arabic and when I Googled the name “فروكتس” a different product came up… so I’m taking a wild guess that these couldn’t be imported due to a trademark conflict and that’s how Meh ended up with them??

These fruit chocolate combinations are guaranteed to make you poop or puke, just pick your poison!
@Num1Zero nice alliteration
@awk @Num1Zero You’ll be a true poopy pants!
Alliteration, new word for me.
It’s very simple, when Meh offers food, I buy (except for candy corn).
/giphy happy-stuffed-ralphie
So… These aren’t like whole dried fruit chunks, right? Are they shredded and pressed into those neat jelly bean shapes?
@medz I feel like you’re not really embracing the spirit of Frookit.
@azfang I want whole fruit chunks. If this is not real fruit, I send it back.
@azfang @medz But what if the salad comes on top?
How much is in each packet ? Is a packet one portion ?
@jmbunkin check ingredients links above. Milk chocolate apricot says 25 pieces per serving, 2.5 servings in a pouch.
@medz Thanks
@jmbunkin @medz So 2 pouches will feed a family of 5. Got it!

Are they like the Brookside chocolate fruit (flavored) nuggets?
@katbyter Brookside are 33¢/oz at Sam’s Club if you’re comparing. These are 27¢ (not including shipping).
@katbyter these are real fruit, whereas brookside is fruit juice
@katbyter @troy Yeah I was disappointed with the Brookside once I realized what they really were (and were not). Overall they were Meh! So if today’s product is better than Meh, that’s not very Meh-diocre at all.

Chocolate is from a bean, right? What better way to get your serving of fruits and vegetables.

@1DisabledWarVet You’re converting incorrectly. Grams/28.35 = ounces. So 70g/28.35 = 2.47 ounces.
@OutbackJon, Okay, Thanks, for setting me straight. I just couldn’t figure out where I was going wrong. That’s what happens as ya get old, take medications, then wake up after midnight & try to do a bit of math. LOL,…My Bad!!

@1DisabledWarVet
Thank you for your service, sincerely. I love to send these to you if you want them.

Damn. I was thinking antioxidants not probiotics. Too late to cancel now.
/giphy well-shit
@medz I think they’ve got antioxidants too, like all dark fruit.
@Kyeh @medz But do they have electrolytes?
/youtube idiocracy electrolytes are good
Probiotics are useless if ingesting with a bunch of sugar
@megalomani Unless you like the idea of those various strains of bacteria in your gut battling it out in a Darwinian cage match to the death.
/giphy anticipatory popcorn munching
@megalomani, maybe the secret word is ‘bunch’. That word is never mentioned in the specs, or ingredients.
@ircon96 @megalomani I can almost hear their screams of battle rage and agony.
/giphy enjoyable-familiar-snowglobe
I wish they’d specify what kind of nuts. Sigh. Allergen-based pass.
@Mavyn Obligatory “What about Deez Nuts?”
/giphy deez nuts
@Mavyn, it says it may [so it does] contain tree nuts, or nuts grown in trees, or Peanuts, which are nuts grown in the ground. Ya probably need to stay away from these!!
Chocolate covered probiotic fruit = chocolate covered bacteria. I am in for three.
/giphy resplendent-freezing-feast
To save others the trouble: according to their website, the dark chocolate does still have milk in it, so not vegan.
@mwoody450 Besides, they all have Confectioner’s glaze to seal them, and give them their shine. This material is a resin secreted by the female lac bug, which is collected, purified, and used for a multitude of purposes. It is also known as shellac.

Bought.
Semi healthy sweet snack.

@TurtleTamer Leave the “f” on for WTFrookit?! Their manufacturing plant must be near a cannabis shop!

Got it first try, only one green bar.
Mine arrived, and have been subjected to Initial Quality Control Testing.

I would buy these again at this price.

Ditto. I have only tried the apricot milk chocolate ones and those are pretty tasty.
I got mine and they are really good! The apricot is my favorite though I did find a little piece of a pit or something, thankfully I didn’t bite down hard on it. That would’ve been funny, considering I didn’t buy the corn snacks do to tooth crackin’ fears.

@awk Google translate resolved it as “Fructs” for me, which is probably as close as one can get to “Frookits” in Arabic.
Disclaimer: I am not fluent in Arabic.
these make me really gassy. I am contributing to global warming at the same rate as cows.
