@glarue yes, they are delicious!
They have been a special treat for me for several years, as they are normally difficult for me to find locally, but now meh has totally spoiled me with these massive quantity bundles.
@Fuzzalini@Kidsandliz@Kyeh@mthlmw@troy Yup, even though it smelled chocolaty, the taste definitely didn’t compliment it. I’m not going to throw them away, but it’ll be awhile before I make it through the other 7 boxes.
@Fuzzalini@Kidsandliz@kuoh@mthlmw@troy Same here - they’re okay, just not as good as the others. I took some to work; they’re good for back-up food, not so great that I’ll eat them all too fast.
@Kidsandliz@Kyeh@mehbee@mthlmw@troy My boyfriend loves Mexican hot chocolate, and we generally argue about the cinnamon and chocolate thing. To me they are flavors that don’t really mix. Cinnamon overpowers the chocolate. I’m also one of those people who can’t use cinnamon toothpaste because it kills my taste buds. Probably related.
@lhbaker I usually get stuff from Meh in about a week or so. Some of the stuff last year took awhile thanks to covid, but usually they are pretty quick these days.
I’ve tried a few flavors (I’m not sure whether all are from this brand), and surprisingly to me, my favorite has been the coffee flavored ones. I’ve found the honey to be a little too sweet.
oof I am still slogging my way through the stroopwafels I bought in December. Apparently I am the only person in the house who likes them so…a stroopwafel a day means I still have two more months to go.
@lumpthar I hear you! I bought them in September of last year and used them for Halloween treats. They went over so well that I bought a gross in December. I’m only 2/3 of the way through (they technically expired in February), so I have to sit this one out.
Still have some boxes from the last order. Allegedly “maple” flavor. I think they were packaged by someone named Maple. That’s about as close to tasting maple to me. But, for slightly cinnamonly caramelly goodness they are still pretty darn good.
But, I am going to hold out for just plain caramel tyvm.
Your evil ways can not tempt me Meh. I am on a diet and sticking to it. Time for covid weight gain to go. I want a jawline again so I can shave my beard.
Already feeling better about myself and nothing you can do can change that you evil evil tempting corporation.
Hmm, approx. 25% of the listed ingredients are sugar, and sugar content per waffle is 38.4%. Healthy!!
Besides, aren’t these what happens when your barber can’t decide whether to sharpen his straight razor before shaving you? Oh, no sorry, that’s the strop-waffle…
@MrNews I mean it’s filled with caramel or honey. Those are basically just different forms of sugar. A high sugar content isn’t surprising at all when you’re buying an item that’s supposed to be filled with sugar.
@halcyoncmdr@MrNews Well, the actual caramel (caramelized sugar) is far healthier than the sugar itself (and tastier, in my opinion, too), not as caloric. Although in this case it is likely just a flavouring, not the real stuff. I am also turned off by the glucose syrup that is listed first.

Anyone feeling stroopid?
Are these things any good?
@glarue I got the caramel, and really liked them.
@glarue yes, they are delicious!

I was very disappointed with the chocolate ones.
@Kyeh I had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised
@raive I like the maple so much better; those are sold out now though.
@Kyeh Me too Apparently I’m one of the few people that thinks that chocolate and cinnamon don’t go together.
@Fuzzalini @Kyeh Only very dark chocolate and cinnamon for me!
@Fuzzalini @Kyeh I’d agree those flavors don’t go together too.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh You guys are nuts! Mexican Mocha’s are the shit
Give me all the cinnamon & chocolate!
Best cereal ever? Chocolate Toast Crunch. They need to bring it back
@Fuzzalini @Kidsandliz @troy @mthlmw
It wasn’t the cinnamon for me - it was just that the chocolate was not very chocolatey!
@Fuzzalini @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @mthlmw @troy I was thinking as I read the other comment, guess they’ve never had Mexican chocolate!!!
@Fuzzalini @Kyeh @mehbee @mthlmw @troy well now I know never to buy Mexican chocolate. Lol
@Fuzzalini @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @mthlmw @troy Yup, even though it smelled chocolaty, the taste definitely didn’t compliment it. I’m not going to throw them away, but it’ll be awhile before I make it through the other 7 boxes.

Meh
Am I reading that fake model name right?
/giphy looks both ways
@Fodder650 It refers to the write-up, but I think it’s kind of gross. Subliminally discouraging, even.
How do these compare to the kind they have at Costco? Those are the only stroopwafels I’m familiar with.
I got the caramel a while back. So I am ready for the next really bad lockdown.
Does that concern anyone else?
@tinamarie1974 Now it does.
@tinamarie1974
Maybe they don’t really want them to sell!
@tinamarie1974 It’s just the obvious final destination
@tinamarie1974 I just pinched out a toilet waffle after my coffee…
Hold on, I still haven’t finished the ones from September…
@awk of what year?
@awk @hchavers
Of what year they expired or what year meh sold them? Oh wait. Those years might be the same.
@hchavers how long have they been selling these damn things?
The thing with Meh.com is this: The shipping bites. I want these right now, not in two months.
@lhbaker I usually get stuff from Meh in about a week or so. Some of the stuff last year took awhile thanks to covid, but usually they are pretty quick these days.
@lhbaker once that was true. They’re pretty fast now. Not Amazon fast , but pretty fast.
I’ve tried a few flavors (I’m not sure whether all are from this brand), and surprisingly to me, my favorite has been the coffee flavored ones. I’ve found the honey to be a little too sweet.
/giphy courteous-flowery-act
Let’s get waffley
These require a certain taste bud of which eye do not have. Nasty shit here guys/gals.
These are sweet, but really good. The honey is my favorite by far.
Stroopwafels are the “new” Candy Corn.
I refuse to buy until I get a mass of melted Stroopwafels for sale by the pound.
@bbf Oh I thought what you’d get is the powdery raw material to make a brick with these, not melted ones. By bad
fook ur stroop homie
I remember that song from the 80’s…
“as 99 stroopwafels go by…”
If only these stroopwafels had a built-in battery pack for charging your phone, sigh…
Facts:
So… chocolate or honey?
@rickjennings64 Yes.
Let’s get Stroopified!
/giphy exceptional-homegrown-kiss
I believe it was Winston Churchill who said, “Stroopwafels are the only civilized thing to ever come from the Continent”.
Target has the regular caramel (best ones) for $3.99 per 8 and they don’t expire until at least 2022. This is “deal” is weak.

Can I eat these without taking of my masks?
@ekyles Well, there are two openings to the standard issue alimentary canal…
Great British what off?

I guess I would not show the nutrition label either if I was trying to "get rid’ of these.
@clarion47
Only 10 calories more than 2 Oreos, actually.
And much bigger - 3 1/2" across.
I can’t finish the ones I bought in December (and that’s with having given a box away). Note to self: never buy Stroop Waffles in bulk.

@halcyoncmdr Absolutely- I always have some sugar with my sugary sugar. It’s all part of a healthy diet! https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/sugar-and-inflammation

I’m almost done with the last batch, I need MOAR! Chocolate was really good, could have been more cocoa-y.
Pandemic’s almost over. Need some sugary sugar-filled sugar waffles to keep the quarantine weight on…
/giphy handy-snobbish-window
I think they’re trying to get me again. Just placed an order over on the Side Deals and the order number was

WOW!! Didn’t expect such a fast delivery, 2 days. More comment when unpacked.
I’m glad you got yours so quickly, mine have been “On FedEx vehicle for delivery” since June 1st. I hope the driver is enjoying them . . . !
I have to say I’m loving these!
