@jake5snooze@mediocrebot A reference to a fun show - the Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir . Two high-schoolers who turn into superheros to save Paris - again and again. A cute love triangle that’s actually two (or maybe four) characters.
(Quick aside, why do we have heroes and heroines but only superheros - no superheroines?).
@jmoor783@RiotDemon, JSYK, you don’t get Diabetes II from eating Stoopwafels! I got mine in Vietnam from fn Agent Orange, which is a herbicide!! FYI, always wash your fruits & vegetables very thouroughly & you’ll be just fine!!
Mine were delivered yesterday, and they’re pretty good. This morning I tried to warm one atop my fancy IRK mug. The mug’s opening was much larger than the waffle, so I balanced it on the lip of the mug. Unfortunately, the top of the mug is sloped at about 10 degrees, and my waffle fell into my coffee , so I dunked my backup waffle .

@GLaDOS@grammycakes@Lynnerizer That is cool; I did not know that! Clearly an appropriate use (perhaps one of the few appropriate uses) of a Poo emoji. Wait, how do you become ex-VMP? I thought you were in forever if you were in originally. I missed the first part so I am just a “member” so if I stop paying my monthly fee, do I get a Poo emoji too? Tempted to cancel just to try it.
First time it’s “Sugar, ah, Honey, Honey”; second time it’s “Honey, ah, Sugar, Sugar”.
When I was nine I was downtown with my mother shopping at the Colonial supermarket. I convinced her to give me a dollar, and I crossed the street (alone, downtown!) to buy this record.
I grabbed the 45 from the rack and took it to the register.
“Are you sure this is the one you want, Honey?” the woman asked.
“Yes, ma’am,” I answered.
“Maybe we should play it to make sure,” she said, because in those days there were turntables on the counter.
I was furious. I was nine years old and this hag was treating me like a baby who couldn’t read.
@jdude727@mehcuda67@MrMikenIkes@tweezak, No, not really! It’s either, brown, or auburn, so actually it is dyed!! Sorry, if I burst your bubble, but to deflate it even more, she had a boob job, ergo, the boobs aren’t real either!!
@chienfou, in medical terminolog, she had implants crammed into her two breasts!! No Special FX, or CGI needed!! BTW, I received my Stroopwafels today, 10-20-20 @ 10ish this morning via Fedx!! They took 5 long days to be fn delivered!! Oh, Well,…
@awk wonderful to donate to a great cause. I hope you’re using them for a waffle walk to the Fairae Compound in your back yard, just before the Fairae Diabetes Clinic.
how do these compare to the other stroopwafels that have been on sale on the site before? Our supply of those is almost gone and considering replacements.
People always complain these give you gas like crazy. Are those the healthier version that have that side effect? I finally caved and bought these, hoping they aren’t that kind lol
@blaineg@gary566 I absolutely read the description, but I still was curious IF these had the same effect. We all know Meh can’t be trusted. Heck, Meh sold us all the other type so happily and now they are throwing them under the bus to sell these ones. Be smart my fellow Mehricans.
@ponagathos idk how you are using them but if you make coffee, tea or hot chocolate. You put it on top of the mug like a lid. It keeps the drink hot and also melts the caramel. It changes the taste. You can also dip it in your drink.
@Aschdrw@ponagathos This is the correct usage. The only issue is if you have a slightly larger than average diameter hot beverage mug. In that case, if you leave the stroop waffle on top too long you can have structural integrity issues. That can result in you having to fish pieces of the waffle out of your beverage. It still tastes awesome but can be a little messy.
I don’t actually want these, but am only trying to justify my VMP. I plan to serve them when we have house guests or maybe give them to trick-or-treaters. Unless we don’t have house guests or Halloween visitors this fall. Then I’ll just use them to cover my coffee mug so the coffee doesn’t get cold.
It’s not right to let coffee get cold.
@jakeline@mediocrebot@ShotgunX@ThunderChicken Is “slop” good or bad in this context? And by “bad” I mean “not good,” as opposed to the way “bad” can mean “really good.” As @gary566 said a few posts ago, “words are hard.”
@Superllama7@xfox100 Glucose syrup (aka corn syrup in the US), Sugar, and treacle syrup (whatever that is) in the first few ingredients – my teeth hurt just reading that.
@highonpez I have to say there were not bad at all. Definitely a matter of taste and preference though. These sound like the much more traditional gooey syrupy thing.
As someone who has flown United
Airlines many, many times, I can confirm that these are the exact stroopwaffles that they give away during breakfast hours.
The pictured packaging looks suspiciously similar as well. With how few people have been flying the last few months, I think I might have an idea as to how Meh came about this deal…
@blaineg@etingel@ShotgunX I bet that theory (surplus airline packets) is correct, in which case this might be pastadrop all over again. Except it would be spelled this way: stroopdroop. (and my wife tells me that the “oo” is an “oh” sound, as in “d’oh!” not an “oo” sound as in “boo.”
@blaineg@etingel@pmarin Well that sucks. That means they can’t hire Snoop Dogg to do a TV spot for them using his alter ego, “Stroop Hogg”, who “hogs” all the Dutch desserts for himself.
“Ey yo this is Stroop Hogg, drop me a sick beat to hear some rhymes, but if you try’na take any of my waffles away, I’ma make you sick with this Louisville Slugger, ya feel me? Fo’ rizzle.”
lifts waffle from cup, and takes a big hit of the fresh coffee aroma
@mediocrebot@SnDMommy Co-incidentally I was taking out some heavy recycling stuff this AM and re-injured my left knee which gives me problems sometimes. At least it’s not puffy, yet. And definitely no jumping.
In for one and still had a Pasta Drop coupon to use. Still kinda bummed these aren’t the “other” Tesla/Zoom/Stroop2 with WiFi capabilities but I’m sure these will eat just the same.
@mcvick I don’t visualize the “asiago,” or else we’ve have a cheese-dog. A few days ago we had a bagel-dog, so I guess giphy is on a dog-named-food trend.
@mehbee I ate them at room temp. 77°. When warm the caramel is runny. If I had individually wrapped ones, I would sometimes hold them between my hands for a moment.
Moon pies, like every other gas station convenience snack cake, are an interesting taste. I don’t mind them, every once in awhile. Marshmallow, cheap cake, frosting similar to a little debbie.
@mehbee@RiotDemon Moon Pies are one of those things that you should try if you get the chance, just like turkey dinner candy corn. I recommend you don’t buy a box of 48 though.
@mehbee@RiotDemon@sammydog01 yes, for microwaving these (the stroop things), 5 seconds in the microwave is a traditional quick-warm-up, especially if they are at a cooler room temp to start with. It really changes the flavor and texture.
Moon pies, on the other hand, I don’t think I’ve ever had one. I just know about it from a song with something like “an RC cola and a Moon pie.” Is RC cola still around?
@RiotDemon@sammydog01 Now no Southern girl worth her salt would not know what a Moon Pie is, especially paired with RC Cola but the post had mentioned Moon Cake, which exists and until I go to sleep and forget everything from today, I have a good bit of knowledge on, and the traditional does look similar as far as coloring, if nothing else. Even if I don’t buy the Stoops from Meh, I feel like I got something from them today! Hope y’all are both doing well.
Three kinds of sugar, three kinds of fat (including heart-clogging “palm fat”), highly refined flour, plus emulsifiers (bad for your gut lining)… Whatta great snack!
@kns I think those had the same unhealthy ingredients except for sugars: replaced by bowel-cramping sugar alcohols…
These are probably fine if you’re 18 and have your whole life to heal, or 80 and just don’t give a damn. In between, you’re better off with a piece of fruit.
@pixelated@RiotDemon@sammydog01 I would say sweet but without the negative extreme of “cloyingly.” I’d say it’s a chewy soft center that is basically sugary (well, like caramel), in between two thin layers that are not too sweet. How soft the center is varies by temperature, hence the hints about warming over hot coffee, or microwaving for 5 seconds (not more!).
You set one of these on top of your hot cup of coffee and let it slightly melt…and then voila…molten caramel goodness all over your mouth. These things might be the best thing ever sold on meh.
@mike808, unless you’re a vet like me, then they’re free!! But, of course, I did have to do a tour in a war zone, but hey, it coulda been a lot worse!!
@mike808, not hardly, my Dad did not have the money to pay a doc for a ‘bone spur’ diagnoses like Cheeto did. Plus, I actually had a reason to go to war, I went to help get my American brothers-in-arms outta an unjust war, Of course, if you’ve never served your country you probably don’t understand. As far as any insults, I’m used to it. I have heard much fn worse from those who let others sacrifice & protect them, their families, and their freedom(s), Mike.
@decoratedwarvet When you said it could be worse, I was agreeing, and gave an example of something perhaps worse.
If we had universal healthcare, there wouldn’t be a need for Tri-Care or the VA. It would just be “healthcare”, and the same coverages for everyone, including mental health care - PTSD, depression, anxiety, TBI, etc.
@mike808, my bad, I think that I sorta over-reacted. Nonetheless, I don’t think ‘Bone Spurs’ are worse than any deseases that’s caused by Agent Orange, of which Diabetes II is 1 of the less serious ones. But, as a matter of fact, in Mr. Cheeto’s case, the Bone Spurs disability was fn fake just like his coward ass is, was & will always be!! BTW, Not all VA meds are free; only the meds which are Service-Connected are free. Whereas, the other meds are supplied under a co-pay program. Anyway, back to our misunder-standing; we’re good, so no harm, no foul!!
@pmarin@txag96, you probably would because I’ve heard that a baboon can fight, or kill either 4, or 7 men barehanded! I forgot which, but either way, it IS more than I could ever kill, unlessin I had a few fuckin firearms. Gimmi an M60, an M16, a knife, a couple of grenades & All bets are off!!
@The_Tim, mine did, $1.05, but I chose Enhanced Delivery, $o, since they even taxed the carrier fee, it went up to $1.19! BTW, Enhanced Dilivery is just normal USPS processed from their fukn warehouse a bit quicker!! They Fool Nobody!!
These are pretty good, but I actually like the texture and flavor of the Rip Van branded ones more. But this comes from someone that’s been drinking Soylent since the 1.0 powder crowdfunding days.
@j8048188 I have to agree with you those weren’t so bad. (the poopwafels, I mean). I’ve also had the authentic ones fresh from Holland which are definitely gooier when fresh, which is a good thing.
Honestly I haven’t tried this brand but already ordered so I’ll find out in 1-7 weeks depending on Pitney-Bowes shipment schedule.
@j8048188@pmarin, I always get all my stuff via regular USPS. That isn’t an any higher bar than Pitney whoever, but my pkgs do turn up within their allotted time frame… My question is why would even regular delivery take a month, Oct 19th in this case, for delivery in a US to US delivery¿?
@blaineg, yeah, your halfway right & halfway wrong. They’re identicle comments, though I did try hard to remove one of them. 1st, I went back by pressing the icon to edit my comment, then fn hit ‘Cancel’, but that did nothing, so I clicked back & tried to manuelly remove each letter, but that, as you can see, didn’t work either. As wee all know, once a comment is posted you only have a few minutes to edit it, after that, it’s there for all prosperity! Why niether of my fn attempts worked is beyond me, as is why meh posted my fuckin comment twice! Nonetheless, this is not an ‘Oxymoron’. Had I fn done this intentionally it might be a bit moronic, but the two matters are Not the same!! Anyway, My Bad! BTW, they mailed my Bacteria Wipes via Fedex!! As long as they didn’t us ‘Smart Choice’ with Fed Ex, it’ll get here Sep 24th. I Had to sneak this in, or fukn risk having it quoted twice, so for that I, again, apologize!!
@blaineg, yeah, I do need to learn how to take unserious comments more lightly, or with a grain of salt & maybe even a little pepper. As I said, within that 5 min window, I tried two ways to delet/cancel the comment, but never could. So, I ask you, is there another way to wipe the comment off the page that I don’t know about¿?
@decoratedwarvet@RiotDemon They’re people that moderate the threads without getting paid. I don’t know why they do that. Maybe it gets them invited to the holiday party? Anyway @RiotDemon is one. And @ignorant. If you want a demo on tagging I just tagged both of them.
@Ignorant@RiotDemon@sammydog01, Thanks, Sammy, Thankya, Thankyaverymuch!! I still don’t know how to ‘tag’ them cause I don’t know what ‘tagging’ means?¿?.. I gots, ‘Old Timers
Desease’!!
@decoratedwarvet@Ignorant@RiotDemon Put a user name with @ in front of it somewhere in your post and they’ll get an email. You just did that for ignorant, RiotDemon, and me.
@blaineg, yeah, I received my stroops on Tues, the 29th & they came in 2 sleeves of 24. They Were individually wraped, but not in a package of two [which the description made no sence,… 'individually wraped in a package of two,…yeah, right!! ] if they meant in a package of 2, 24 in each fn package & individually wraped then they really shoulda described them more clearly, ass, of course, I fn did!! BTW, they do taste awesomely delicious, but I’m LOL [Low On Liquor]!!
I got my package delivered confirmation and I was unjustifiably excited. I raced to my porch and…
They must have delivered my box of stroopwafels to someone else. The package left on my doorstep was from an entirely different company for an entirely different person at a completely dissimilar address two blocks away from my house.
I re-delivered their package, but no one has yet done me the same favor.
I’ll give it a couple stroopwafel-free days before I complain to meh.
When I opened these in front of the SIGNIFICANT OTHER, there were great peals of laughter at the fact that I bought United’s sloppy seconds. I ate one. It is as advertised.
@pmarin@RiotDemon Pleasantly surprised! I had my first but it wasn’t too warm, I placed it over a coffee cup but I was in a rush so it hardly heated up.
The kids loved it too. Next time, its going in microwave to get it nice and warmed up, thanks for the tip.
My order says delivered at 6:20 pm yesterday. They are not here. Fingers crossed they are still on the truck. If not I hope which ever mother fucking neighbor has them enjoys them.
Wondering exactly how well can I expect these to survive two days of +100ºF temps in a USPS outdoor dropbox?
Generally work delivery is superior, except when it’s on a Saturday…
@rjquillin they’ll probably be gooey, but ok. I’ve had these delivered in Florida (when I ordered them previously) so once they reached Florida they were in 90°+ weather for a couple of days.
Mine were delivered yesterday. The mailman conveniently folded up the shipping bag and crammed them in my mailbox so I thought they were going to be ruined, but it looks like they were saved by gooey softness. Some of them are not flat but I picked some of the roughest looking ones to open and they were not broken. They are delicious as advertised.
Also, a few hours in a warm mailbox would seem an acceptable means for warming these up to optimum temperature if you find the need to treat these like a time lock safe to slow consumption
Umm…mine are apparently on a trip around the country. They have gone from Texas NJ my local post office in PA and then back to NJ. I can only suppose their next stop will be back in Texas? I’m not holding out hope that the cookies will be in one piece when (or if) they ever get here, lol! I’ll wait a few more days before contacting Meh…but I do still hope they find their way back here because I really want to try these…
@RiotDemon VMP membership $60, and not a damned thing worth buying or tangible good delivered in exchange for membership (for which Meh lies about why they charge sales tax on VMP).
@RiotDemon You’re just mad because you don’t have a Costco 10 minutes away and have to settle for these more expensive Stroopwaffels plus shipping. Enjoying the benefits of urban life means you have to get along with your neighbors. {Superman}.
@mike808 i get that 2020 has been a rough year, but i swear i used to not think you were a complete {dionysus}. I hope you get square with whomever has pooped in your punchbowl and can find a reason to smile again.
Then what’s up with the cancel posting? Whomever pooped in your punchbowl doesn’t mean you should work it out here. It’s not my fault you live 3+ hours from a Costco. Others live close to one like I do, and find that helpful. And if you want to take advantage of better deals at Costco, only you can decide to move closer to one.
@djslack What’s your point? To wave your virtue signaling flag high?
@mike808 my point is that you’re being a {dirigible plum}. No more, no less. Wait, no, a little more. You’ve been being a {Daidarabotchi} for long enough that it’s become tedious. And when people ask for an ignore function, it’s at least in part because of you.
I understood @riotdemon’s response to your vmp complaint, and it had nothing to do with costco. But that can be between y’all. And I believe at the beginning of a sentence it would be “whoever pooped in your punchbowl.”
@djslack RD brought up that Costco has a membership fee as something against a Costco alternate deal. I think a worthless Membership fee is similarly against the Meh deal.
And the giphy that RD chose to leave in place (since she’s explained elsewhere how to edit them for the one you want) was intentionally bitchy and a snide dog whistle to cancel culture.
Lastly, If you’re going to name call being a dick, and RD lets the whole reply thread stay or biases her ex post facto edits as a volmod, neither of you have grounds to get all sanctimonious about calling you both out for being {Bagiennik}. And the folks that “liked” your posts for doing it as well. Which was precisely my point about your “virtue signaling” and ad hominems.
My original Costco comment was light hearted. It wasn’t a jab at what you said Mike. I even had a gif that said “I has a sad” as in, it sucks there’s no Costco close by me and even if I did, there’s still a membership fee… So they’re not really $9 unless you already have it.
I left my other gif as how it came because you came back at me all pissy. I put cancel as in cancel your vmp if you think it’s worthless or too much money or whatever your point was. It wasn’t cancel culture. The gif seemed fitting because you seem to be trolling people constantly.
Then you took it however you wanted to take it. Calling me a snowflake and talking about getting along with my neighbors? What? Are you my neighbor?
@RiotDemon You said you were 3+ hours from a Costco. If you lived in an sub/urban area, that wouldn’t be the case, and you don’t have to get along with neighbors because you don’t have any as you would if you lived in a high density sub/urban area, such as those with nearby Costcos. Q.E.D. I find it hard to sympatize with folks that choose live in rural areas and then complain about the things that aren’t available in the rural areas they chose to live in.
As I hinted at earlier, as volmod, you are free to truncate the entire sub-thread, replies and all if you feel it sullies Meh’s decorum.
my nearest costco is a 5-6 hour round trip. My nearest neighbor, 20 yards? I live in a suburban development in a metro area of 250K+ people. But i do have a Tractor Supply, For Life Out Here. They have Mallo Cups and those weird neapolitan coconut slices, but no stroopwafels.
@RiotDemon the coconut slices are ok. I get one maybe once every couple of years, and they’re not bad but not as good as I think. They’re like nostalgic for a time before me, like they somehow nonspecifically remind me of my grandparents. But they are very visually interesting so they draw me in. @sammydog01 yeah mallow cups are just ok. Most of that vintage candy is that way.
@djslack@RiotDemon There’s a place where I grew up that makes candy. My Easter basket always had a fried egg and bacon. The fried egg was made out of that creamy stuff they make into wafers and was really good. The bacon was made out of a brick of coconut not unlike those things you’re talking about. They always went in the trash but I would have been disappointed if they were missing.
@djslack@sammydog01 I think that’s how I feel every time I get something like a zebra cake. I remember liking them when I was younger, but now they just taste like flavored shortening.
Box of 40 at Costco, $9+tax.
Online is a 3-pack for ~$45? shipping included.
Just checked these out and they are a different brand – at least on-line (Le Chic Patissier). Reviews are good overall, but several said they preferred the Daelmans brand Stroopwafels (and some mentioned not having butter in them). Have you tried both, and what did you think about the difference between them? I hesitate to buy 120 wafels then not be happy with them… Also these are bulk packed in bags with a twist tie (10 to a bag if I am not mistaken) so how do they hold up for freshness?
(on the plus side though they are a bit bigger than the ones on meh)
Thanks for any input you might have. I have a Costco about 35 minutes from the house but not sure if they would even carry these since I am in Central Alabama… not exactly a culinary mecca.
@chienfou If you’re not sure if you like them Target carries an 8 pack of the Daelman’s for I think four bucks and a two pack as well. The Target ones are a bit bigger than the Meh ones. They’re really filling too so you might not want an excessive number. The Meh ones are individually wrapped so they’re easy to toss into a lunch or travel bag. The Target ones are not but seem to stay fresh.
@chienfou
I saw stroopwaffels at Trader Joe’s, but I know they don’t have one in Central Alabama. And the Costco is on the East side of Montgomery and the other is in Birmingham. Target might be a source to get some to try.
@mike808
thanks. We are members of the Costco and use that store (in Eastchase) normally. The Target is actually just down the road from the Costco. I may check it out next time I am in ‘the big city’
@chienfou Thanks! I’ll put a pin for it in my nav system for me next drive down to Montgomery or further South. I hope it’s near the Costco, as I make a pit stop there. My relatives couldn’t get the TJs goodies I brought them in years past.
@mrsharm There’s a bug in the system where it says picked up and processed by the destination when it means info sent. And I used to live in Waynesboro!
/giphy wave
@jeffnnc If you go there and ask the workers about them, they will tell you they were delicious couldn’t locate the package in question, and that it must be a computer error.
For $20, you can grab 64 maple and cinnamon jumbo stroopwafels, around 300 mini chocolate or mini honey wafers, or try out some almond thins. Their best buy dates are coming up soon, but nothing a little coffee steam can’t help.
@dave Could Meh maybe give us a way to just disable the @customers pings while keeping on replies aimed specifically to me? Emailing everybody who bought a deal literally 3.5 years ago seems like a bit much, right? Surely I’m not the only one who finds this advertising strategy to be fairly bonkers.
I don’t really participate in the forum so I just turned off all emails, but man, what a way to run a railroad. Guess my participation will continue to be limited.

@mehrrychristmas @sammydog01 yep, target 50¢ each. This is a good price if you want a bunch.

She played it anyway.

Whew! Thanks for clarifying, meh!
Why do people like these things? They are slightly better than moon cakes, which are disgusting.
@ponagathos idk how you are using them but if you make coffee, tea or hot chocolate. You put it on top of the mug like a lid. It keeps the drink hot and also melts the caramel. It changes the taste. You can also dip it in your drink.
@Aschdrw @ponagathos I think that’s the traditional use
@Aschdrw @ponagathos This is the correct usage. The only issue is if you have a slightly larger than average diameter hot beverage mug. In that case, if you leave the stroop waffle on top too long you can have structural integrity issues. That can result in you having to fish pieces of the waffle out of your beverage. It still tastes awesome but can be a little messy.
DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
@ponagathos, I never had Moon-cakes, but I likes Moonpies!!
@ponagathos Moon pies are terrible dry things that make graham crackers seem moist.
These are gooey caramel goodness.
I don’t actually want these, but am only trying to justify my VMP. I plan to serve them when we have house guests or maybe give them to trick-or-treaters. Unless we don’t have house guests or Halloween visitors this fall. Then I’ll just use them to cover my coffee mug so the coffee doesn’t get cold.
It’s not right to let coffee get cold.

@Superllama7 @xfox100 Glucose syrup (aka corn syrup in the US), Sugar, and treacle syrup (whatever that is) in the first few ingredients – my teeth hurt just reading that.

If I don’t drink hot beverages, can I warm them up in the microwave? I don’t know what a moon cake is but if it’s yucky, I don’t want it!
@mehbee I looked up moon cakes. I don’t know if they are any good but they are cool looking.
@mehbee I ate them at room temp. 77°. When warm the caramel is runny. If I had individually wrapped ones, I would sometimes hold them between my hands for a moment.
Moon pies, like every other gas station convenience snack cake, are an interesting taste. I don’t mind them, every once in awhile. Marshmallow, cheap cake, frosting similar to a little debbie.
@mehbee @RiotDemon Moon Pies are one of those things that you should try if you get the chance, just like turkey dinner candy corn. I recommend you don’t buy a box of 48 though.
@mehbee @RiotDemon @sammydog01 yes, for microwaving these (the stroop things), 5 seconds in the microwave is a traditional quick-warm-up, especially if they are at a cooler room temp to start with. It really changes the flavor and texture.
Moon pies, on the other hand, I don’t think I’ve ever had one. I just know about it from a song with something like “an RC cola and a Moon pie.” Is RC cola still around?
@mehbee @RiotDemon, pies, cakes,…am I black, or white¿ I forgot how to write, or even fuckin comprehend what I’m writing!!
@mehbee @pmarin @sammydog01 you can still find RC cola in some places. I think.

Even if I don’t buy the Stoops from Meh, I feel like I got something from them today! Hope y’all are both doing well.

It looks good but how sweet are these?
Not too sweet (like Japanese pastry) or cloyingly sweet (like American pastry)?
Asking for a friend.
@pixelated they’re pretty sweet, I’d say. Definitely not like Japanese pastries.
@pixelated @RiotDemon I would say cloyingly sweet is pretty accurate. In a good way?
@pixelated @RiotDemon @sammydog01 I would say sweet but without the negative extreme of “cloyingly.” I’d say it’s a chewy soft center that is basically sugary (well, like caramel), in between two thin layers that are not too sweet. How soft the center is varies by temperature, hence the hints about warming over hot coffee, or microwaving for 5 seconds (not more!).
I’ll be honest, the picture with the ice cream is making me want to buy these. I better stop looking at it.

@decoratedwarvet
You bet. You could be suffering from an untreated excruciating bone spur disability.
@mike808, not hardly, my Dad did not have the money to pay a doc for a ‘bone spur’ diagnoses like Cheeto did. Plus, I actually had a reason to go to war, I went to help get my American brothers-in-arms outta an unjust war, Of course, if you’ve never served your country you probably don’t understand. As far as any insults, I’m used to it. I have heard much fn worse from those who let others sacrifice & protect them, their families, and their freedom(s), Mike.
@decoratedwarvet When you said it could be worse, I was agreeing, and gave an example of something perhaps worse.
If we had universal healthcare, there wouldn’t be a need for Tri-Care or the VA. It would just be “healthcare”, and the same coverages for everyone, including mental health care - PTSD, depression, anxiety, TBI, etc.
@mike808, my bad, I think that I sorta over-reacted. Nonetheless, I don’t think ‘Bone Spurs’ are worse than any deseases that’s caused by Agent Orange, of which Diabetes II is 1 of the less serious ones. But, as a matter of fact, in Mr. Cheeto’s case, the Bone Spurs disability was fn fake just like his coward ass is, was & will always be!! BTW, Not all VA meds are free; only the meds which are Service-Connected are free. Whereas, the other meds are supplied under a co-pay program. Anyway, back to our misunder-standing; we’re good, so no harm, no foul!!

@RiotDemon Helpful, thanks. Perhaps Ill try some chilling or freezer time to help them out.
Still waiting for my order. Good thing I have VMP - I would be pissed if I had to pay for 2 week shipping.
Mine were delivered yesterday. The mailman conveniently folded up the shipping bag and crammed them in my mailbox so I thought they were going to be ruined, but it looks like they were saved by gooey softness. Some of them are not flat but I picked some of the roughest looking ones to open and they were not broken. They are delicious as advertised.
Also, a few hours in a warm mailbox would seem an acceptable means for warming these up to optimum temperature if you find the need to treat these like a time lock safe to slow consumption
Mine seem to have been 200 miles away since last week. It’s a three hour drive… kicks a rock
Umm…mine are apparently on a trip around the country. They have gone from Texas
NJ 
my local post office in PA 
and then back to NJ. I can only suppose their next stop will be back in Texas? I’m not holding out hope that the cookies will be in one piece when (or if) they ever get here, lol! I’ll wait a few more days before contacting Meh…but I do still hope they find their way back here because I really want to try these…
Never mind…they were delivered today. Yay!

Box of 40 at Costco, $9+tax.
Total time: 10 minutes.
They’re delicious.
@mike808
Round trip to Costco, 3.5 hours
Membership fee, $45+?
/image gif I has a sad
@RiotDemon VMP membership $60, and not a damned thing worth buying or tangible good delivered in exchange for membership (for which Meh lies about why they charge sales tax on VMP).

@RiotDemon You’re just mad because you don’t have a Costco 10 minutes away and have to settle for these more expensive Stroopwaffels plus shipping. Enjoying the benefits of urban life means you have to get along with your neighbors. {Superman}.
@mike808 I didn’t even buy any.
@mike808 i get that 2020 has been a rough year, but i swear i used to not think you were a complete {dionysus}. I hope you get square with whomever has pooped in your punchbowl and can find a reason to smile again.
@RiotDemon
Then what’s up with the cancel posting? Whomever pooped in your punchbowl doesn’t mean you should work it out here. It’s not my fault you live 3+ hours from a Costco. Others live close to one like I do, and find that helpful. And if you want to take advantage of better deals at Costco, only you can decide to move closer to one.
@djslack What’s your point? To wave your virtue signaling flag high?
@mike808 my point is that you’re being a {dirigible plum}. No more, no less. Wait, no, a little more. You’ve been being a {Daidarabotchi} for long enough that it’s become tedious. And when people ask for an ignore function, it’s at least in part because of you.
I understood @riotdemon’s response to your vmp complaint, and it had nothing to do with costco. But that can be between y’all. And I believe at the beginning of a sentence it would be “whoever pooped in your punchbowl.”
@djslack RD brought up that Costco has a membership fee as something against a Costco alternate deal. I think a worthless Membership fee is similarly against the Meh deal.
And the giphy that RD chose to leave in place (since she’s explained elsewhere how to edit them for the one you want) was intentionally bitchy and a snide dog whistle to cancel culture.
Lastly, If you’re going to name call being a dick, and RD lets the whole reply thread stay or biases her ex post facto edits as a volmod, neither of you have grounds to get all sanctimonious about calling you both out for being {Bagiennik}. And the folks that “liked” your posts for doing it as well. Which was precisely my point about your “virtue signaling” and ad hominems.
@djslack @mike808 geez y’all. Let me back up here for a second.
My original Costco comment was light hearted. It wasn’t a jab at what you said Mike. I even had a gif that said “I has a sad” as in, it sucks there’s no Costco close by me and even if I did, there’s still a membership fee… So they’re not really $9 unless you already have it.
I left my other gif as how it came because you came back at me all pissy. I put cancel as in cancel your vmp if you think it’s worthless or too much money or whatever your point was. It wasn’t cancel culture. The gif seemed fitting because you seem to be trolling people constantly.
Then you took it however you wanted to take it. Calling me a snowflake and talking about getting along with my neighbors? What? Are you my neighbor?
As for the rest. Jesus. I’m fucking tired.
@RiotDemon You said you were 3+ hours from a Costco. If you lived in an sub/urban area, that wouldn’t be the case, and you don’t have to get along with neighbors because you don’t have any as you would if you lived in a high density sub/urban area, such as those with nearby Costcos. Q.E.D. I find it hard to sympatize with folks that choose live in rural areas and then complain about the things that aren’t available in the rural areas they chose to live in.
As I hinted at earlier, as volmod, you are free to truncate the entire sub-thread, replies and all if you feel it sullies Meh’s decorum.
@mike808 Thanks for the round of buzzword bingo but maybe take your outrage over to a thread about politics and let me read about cookies in peace?
@mike808 geez. I said 3.5 hours round trip. Turns out it’s about 1.5 hours round trip. MY BAD GUYS! I DIDN’T KNOW THERE WAS ONE CLOSER!
my nearest costco is a 5-6 hour round trip. My nearest neighbor, 20 yards? I live in a suburban development in a metro area of 250K+ people. But i do have a Tractor Supply, For Life Out Here. They have Mallo Cups and those weird neapolitan coconut slices, but no stroopwafels.
@djslack @sammydog01 @RiotDemon
Then the deal I posted about Costco having a better price on these isn’t for any of you. Move on.
@djslack and how do you feel about those weird neaopolitan coconut slices?
@djslack @RiotDemon I just bought a bag of mini mallow cups but I don’t remember where. Maybe a convenience store? They were so-so.
@djslack @RiotDemon I just remembered it was the Christmas Tree Shop. In case anyone cares. Although I’m pretty sure we have a Tractor Store here too.
@RiotDemon the coconut slices are ok. I get one maybe once every couple of years, and they’re not bad but not as good as I think. They’re like nostalgic for a time before me, like they somehow nonspecifically remind me of my grandparents. But they are very visually interesting so they draw me in. @sammydog01 yeah mallow cups are just ok. Most of that vintage candy is that way.
@djslack @RiotDemon There’s a place where I grew up that makes candy. My Easter basket always had a fried egg and bacon. The fried egg was made out of that creamy stuff they make into wafers and was really good. The bacon was made out of a brick of coconut not unlike those things you’re talking about. They always went in the trash but I would have been disappointed if they were missing.
@djslack @sammydog01 I think that’s how I feel every time I get something like a zebra cake. I remember liking them when I was younger, but now they just taste like flavored shortening.
@djslack @RiotDemon @sammydog01 I remember as a kid loving ding dongs and twinkies. Now I can’t believe I ever did. Far too sweet.
I edited some comments for name calling.
never received, took a trip around the country?
I had hopes these would show up in the mehrathon, but alas… no such luck.
@chienfou
Box of 40 at Costco, $9+tax.
Online is a 3-pack for ~$45? shipping included.
If you don’t have a Costco nearby, or aren’t a member, then keep looking/waiting.
I shouldn’t have to explain that in a deal discussion topic, but apparently I do.
Lol
@mike808
WTF? Where did that come from based on my comment??
@chienfou The sister sites have them- code VMP for 10% off. Which is great if you hate having neighbors.
@sammydog01
cool. I hadn’t made the effort to track them down there since I think I am subconsciously trying to resist the temptation…
@sammydog01
Just checked these out and they are a different brand – at least on-line (Le Chic Patissier). Reviews are good overall, but several said they preferred the Daelmans brand Stroopwafels (and some mentioned not having butter in them). Have you tried both, and what did you think about the difference between them? I hesitate to buy 120 wafels then not be happy with them… Also these are bulk packed in bags with a twist tie (10 to a bag if I am not mistaken) so how do they hold up for freshness?
(on the plus side though they are a bit bigger than the ones on meh)
Thanks for any input you might have. I have a Costco about 35 minutes from the house but not sure if they would even carry these since I am in Central Alabama… not exactly a culinary mecca.
@chienfou If you’re not sure if you like them Target carries an 8 pack of the Daelman’s for I think four bucks and a two pack as well. The Target ones are a bit bigger than the Meh ones. They’re really filling too so you might not want an excessive number. The Meh ones are individually wrapped so they’re easy to toss into a lunch or travel bag. The Target ones are not but seem to stay fresh.
I have no experience with the ones from Costco.
@chienfou @sammydog01 Sammy just eats all ten at once.
@chienfou
I saw stroopwaffels at Trader Joe’s, but I know they don’t have one in Central Alabama. And the Costco is on the East side of Montgomery and the other is in Birmingham. Target might be a source to get some to try.
@mike808
thanks. We are members of the Costco and use that store (in Eastchase) normally. The Target is actually just down the road from the Costco. I may check it out next time I am in ‘the big city’
@mike808
closest TJ is in B’ham
@chienfou Thanks! I’ll put a pin for it in my nav system for me next drive down to Montgomery or further South. I hope it’s near the Costco, as I make a pit stop there. My relatives couldn’t get the TJs goodies I brought them in years past.
@mike808
Patience is a
virginvirtue!come to papa!
@chienfou See below. Costco has their $9 for 4x10 pack on sale, $3 off starting Oct 28 (I think). It is in the sale mailer that arrived today.
@mike808 I may have to ummm… try them out so I can make a valid comparison…
Mine must really like NJ, especially since they were “picked up by agent” in my town and then headed there over a week ago.
@mrsharm There’s a bug in the system where it says picked up and processed by the destination when it means info sent. And I used to live in Waynesboro!
/giphy wave
@sammydog01 small world!
/giphy wave
Mine arrived yesterday!
Still waiting. It’s been sitting in a facility in my home town since September 29th.
@jeffnnc If you go there and ask the workers about them, they will tell you they
were deliciouscouldn’t locate the package in question, and that it must be a computer error.Coming up on the 28th, Costco has their 4x10-count packs at $6 if the $3 off sale is on the $9 price it is now.
@customers Heads up stroopwafel-fans, we’ve got a ton of Stroopwafels cheap over at SideDeal today.
For $20, you can grab 64 maple and cinnamon jumbo stroopwafels, around 300 mini chocolate or mini honey wafers, or try out some almond thins. Their best buy dates are coming up soon, but nothing a little coffee steam can’t help.
@dave Could Meh maybe give us a way to just disable the @customers pings while keeping on replies aimed specifically to me? Emailing everybody who bought a deal literally 3.5 years ago seems like a bit much, right? Surely I’m not the only one who finds this advertising strategy to be fairly bonkers.
I don’t really participate in the forum so I just turned off all emails, but man, what a way to run a railroad. Guess my participation will continue to be limited.
@dave Is this the ultimate thread necro?
@dave hey, fuck off. I’m deleting my Meh account now.
@kryndis I’d like that, I’m going to talk with our team and see if we can get that added. Oh, I guess you won’t see this, so never mind.
