@yakkoTDI You mean PoopWafel?

@OnionSoup - There it is!

@shiranissosexy Hmmmm… just read the expiration date on these. I wonder if airlines believe travel will still be down through the end of the year. While definitely up from last year, I’m fairly sure it’ll be down from 2019 levels. Question is, knowing that one of the biggest purchasers (airlines) would cancel or not order Stroopwafels, why did Daelmans decide to churn out as many as it did?

@shiranissosexy Maybe because Meh, MorningSave, SideDeal, etc. can sell so many for them, with little distribution cost to them?

@shiranissosexy What makes you think they don’t churn these out years in advance?

@shiranissosexy I’m still working through my own stock which have a February expiration date. So far so good! I may never need to fly again!

@rickjennings64 @shiranissosexy Don’t you mean you may never need to buy again?

@Kidsandliz @rickjennings64 @shiranissosexy It’s effectively the same thing when he can no longer fit in the airline seat after eating all the stroopwafels.

KuoH

@phendrick @shiranissosexy As an airline customer eating a stroopwafel consider that this cookie is rather expensive since you need an airline ticket and associated taxes and fees along with more luck than needed for an IRK to get it. (Luck as in right airline, right flight, right time of day, right class of passage, etc.)

Then consider that the “last mile” of that delivery is exclusively by air and air alone, then in “normal” use these high altitude treats are expensive indeed.

@The_Tim I bought the chocolate ones from Side Deal and they are sooo good.

@msayler

@rileyper My wife loves this commercial. It makes me sad that they’re that “old” now

@pennypenny, Is That Wanda Wayne¿?

@JT954 I like them. My husband is a damned addict who tries to recruit people. So, I guess mileage may vary, but I don’t think you’d dislike them. $30 for a new, tasty, experience isn’t all that bad and this will last you several months.

@JT954, you are invited to buy a variety pack(age) for the low priceof $72 & free shipping if you pay up that $4.95, or whatever, per month!!

@JT954 If you like super-sweet treats that get stuck in your teeth, go for it. I don’t, so I don’t care for Stroopwafels, but it comes down to personal preference.

@OnionSoup I can’t top this.

@OnionSoup or use them as Hockey Pucks when they all expire this fall!!

@mbersiam, well, instead of posting it, senda video ‘sayin’ it so we can see if you are really having fun saying it & pronouncing the name right!! Please!!

@1DisabledWarVet @mbersiam remember, the stroop rhymes with rope, and the wafel is more like a “v” than an “w” sound.

@1DisabledWarVet just for you lol
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeCyaE8f/

@1DisabledWarVet @mbersiam Wow, custom video by request!

@mbersiam @pmarin, I beg to disagree, although to each their own. The Netherland version leaves out the ‘R’, as in Stoopwafel & the ‘wafel’ is pronounced like ‘waffel’!! Also, in the UK it is, more, or less, pronounced just as we, or I do, at least!! My way is Stroop like ‘troop’, and the Wafel, like ‘waffel’!! That’s my story & I’m sticking to it, but Thanks, for ur input!!

@1DisabledWarVet I say it your way in my head. I was just reading the forum and said it the other way too

@mbersiam, Copy That!!

@awk We were running low and getting worried. Two to three people having one a day tends to speed run the multipacks.

@awk I’m with you. I was SHOCKED that the “Meh-est Meh” pack from a few weeks ago didn’t have any.

@bph I do, I’m buying diebetus

@zsunsun, are you guys sarcastically spelling Diabetes Millitus incorrectly on porpoise¿?

@1DisabledWarVet @zsunsun
/giphy Wilford Brimley

@1DisabledWarVet @zsunsun The correct term is sugar diebetus, to clarify it isn’t the lesser known splenda diebetus.

@Faffs @zsunsun, again I tend to disagree. I actually have Diabetes Mellitus II, [which is Latin for ‘Sweet Pee’] that I received via the herbicide exposure of the dreaded Agent Orange!! Mr Brimely, or whatever his fn name just mispronounced da word on purpose when he fn said ‘Diabetus’!! That is Not the Medical pronunciation of the word & again, that’s my story & I’m sticking to it!! NOTE: The term may be a fn Greek, instead of a fn Latin word, ergo, I’ll Google it just to find out for myself which it is & Sorry, for this long damn answer, My Bad!! {So far, my Webster Dictionary says it is Greek!} I’ll take my coffee & pain medsto chill out this rainy morning!!

@1DisabledWarVet @zsunsun You totally missed the humor. Went Wooosh.
Way too many people incorrectly call it “sugar diebetus”. That included my cousin who had Type 1, and several relatives, and a dear friend who had Type 2 (had, because they succumbed to it). Besides the incorrect pronunciation, calling it sugar is redundant.

@Faffs @zsunsun, Faffs, I do agree you & I have differing opinions of what good humor is & is not even remotely that funny, but be that as it may, ya failed to get my sarcasm, so that musta went Woosh, over Your head! I think all the people who call it Sugar Diebitus, or whatever are only in your circle of friends, and relatives because it doesn’t apply down here in the South [USA], God’s Country.
I can’t fathom why someone who uses sarcasm to color their humor can’t seem to grasp when others are doing the same thing. That’s kinda like dishing it out, yet just not able to take it. Just because their was a bit of truth in my comment shouldn’t make you think I’m not also trying to be a bit funny Don’t worry Mr Faffs, cause you’ll always be the winner in any pissing contest with me because I Am, contrary to what some might think, truly disabled, so ya got me there, bubba.
And finally, no, your sarcasm didn’t Zoom past my head, or over it because when you used the word ‘sugar’, I said to myself, "That’s like saying, I have Insulin Disorder!! LOL!! I do, understand redundancy & being a bit superfluous, and BTW, LOL,…means, Low On Liquor!! Another joke, I’m on the wagon, so to speak!
So, Please, Faffs, gimmie a break,…I may just be as super intelligent as you are!!

@1DisabledWarVet @zsunsun It’s Ms. Faffs, tyvm. And I heard sugar diebetus more in NC, TN, and FL than in my birth state of NY. I hear it often enough now that I’m living in Ohio. Perhaps you live in a more sophisticated part of the south than I have been to.
You went on a rant on the etymology of what it was called. All I quipped was sugar vs splenda.
Have a good day. And thank you for your service ( we are contemporaries, btw, based on your mention of Agent Orange)

@Faffs @zsunsun, well, doggy,…speaking of Tn, I live near Memphis, Tn & live out in the country away from the maddening crowd…Far Away! So, I guess I can say, “He’s A Female”!! LOL!! Again, Ha, Ha, Ha,…it’s extremely puzzling why when someone uses any facts, And is [just slightly], or a wee bit serious all of the fn sudden, they’re going into a rant, a rage, so LOL & JSYK, Ma’am, I take Muscle Relaxer meds for chronic cramps & take a strong regimen of a chronic pain analgesic, so I stay super relaxed 99.9% of the day. One PTSD coping tool I use is Humor, and I prefer sarcastic humor but I do use facts & data just to cover my buttocks & outta an abundance of BS!! If you wanna see how ya should read my comments then just imagine you’re on 2 Zanex, or two 10MG Valiums & read my posted statements!! Nooow, that doesn’t sound like every word I say is with All Capital Letters, does it¿ WELL, DOES IT, MA’AM LOL!!

@1DisabledWarVet @zsunsun I can relate to the chronic pain. Unfortunately I have a genetic condition that makes all but the strongest of pain meds almost ineffective, and I cannot take nsaids (severe negative side effects) Where most folks can take tramadol, percoset, etc, I might as well pop Skittles. If you haven’t yet, give a try to CBD or kratom. Those, old fashioned aspirin, and a few supplements like tumeric keeps the pain to background noise for the most part.

@mellowirishgent, I, too, was underwhelmed by them. (And I have a substantial sweet tooth.)

@mellowirishgent did you perchance get the fake-sugar low-carb version one they sold? My diabetic roommate liked those ones but I’ve had really good stroopwafles and that was not it.

@haydesigner @mellowirishgent Did you warm them as recommended? Traditionally this is done by placing over your hot cup of tea or coffee. Also can be done with 5-10 seconds in the microwave.

@mellowirishgent These are much thicker, as they’re filled with honey, chocolate, etc. They’re also not individually wrapped like the last ones

@brainmist Not sure they take requests for your future IRK

@The_Tim Especially cheese expirations.
looks at standard cheddar, due to expire next week
eyeballs ‘aged’ cheddar, which apparently expire 3 years ago

@brainmist @The_Tim Cheese cannot go bad.

It just turns into other cheese.

@blaineg @brainmist @The_Tim Yep - the more spoiled the more expensive it is.

@1DisabledWarVet yeah these are fairly indestructible and the “best by date” is not that important as long as they remain sealed. Kind-of like the proverbial 20-year Twinkie.

In street markets or bakeries in Holland you can get fresh ones which are, of course, fresher. But once you get to the packaged commercial brands, these don’t really degrade over time.

@reeldl yeah that’s important. the individual wraps are great. but I think we only got those packs due to the airline thing… and people worrying about expiration dates which, for these, don’t matter that much.

I’m assuming this deal is for 8 in 1 bag as you say. Still OK, just not quite as convenient.

@pmarin @reeldl I kinda like that though… if I stick an 8-pack in my freezer and take them out one by one it would feel a lot less wasteful.

@ulnek well have you priced Oreo cookies lately? or any US commercial brand of snack product?

Plus, these have to come on a plane from Holland, maybe the same plane that used to carry passengers who were given the individually-wrapped Stroopwafels sold here before.

@ulnek These are very good

@pmarin @ulnek
1.36 oz individually wrapped stroopwafel 45.3125 cents per wafel, 33 cents per ounce. (with shipping)

2.2 oz individually wrapped Little Debbie Star Crunch cakes (the gold standard of individually wrapped treats) 27.33 cents per treat, 12.42 cents per ounce.

I agree with ulnek. They’re expensive. And if you’re aiming for diabeetus then Little Diabeetus will get you there faster and cheaper.

@DVDBZN the “risk” is that the flavor you hope for (maybe chocolate?) will sell-out and so the “variety” will be a better deal on whatever is left. But we also don’t know their starting inventory and they may not have the same quantities of each to start with.

@blaineg After consulting with SWMBO,

/giphy overjoyed-delirious-porridge

@dvermilion

Or is better than and…

Chocolate: Oooooh chocolate.
Honey: yummmmmm.

I know not everyone shares my sentiments but…
Maple:
/giphy vomit

@OnionSoup I accept you for who you are and I feel your pain. I hate the taste of ginger and have to be careful about expressing this in public for fear a nearby ginger-lover may overhear me & misinterpret my comment as disparaging to his fair-skinned, auburn-haired girlfriend. Or worse–it may be overheard by someone who actually likes ginger.

@dvermilion yeah, maple syrup is one of those things that the mere smell of it on someone else’s plate puts me off eating.

@fredmavis they are soooo good… Put em over your coffee to warm and go soft… you haven’t lived until you’ve had a stoopwaffle.

The fact that they’re so good is why I haven’t placed an order. 64? That would last a week. Lol… I’d become enormous.

@GeorgeSully Caramel only, I think. Let me know if you find otherwise.

@Willijs3 I think that’s supposed to be the irregular edges of a stroopwafel.

@blaineg @Willijs3
Looks completely smooth to me…?:

@owenversteeg If you really mean it, slash commands have to be at the start of a line.

@blaineg Thanks! I didn’t see that anywhere, and the order didn’t seem to go through with the mehdown, so I got my predominant-abundant-box manually.

Also, I can’t edit my post now but I just noticed, for some reason the “plain” ones here are honey which is horrifying. Normal Dutch stroopwafels are with caramel. Glad I got the maple…

@blaineg The honey ones pair very well with tea. I got mine from Side Deals recently so I’m going with chocolate this time.

@owenversteeg In the US I can only find the non-caramel flavors at World Market for 4.99 for a box like this, so even with shipping this is a little more than a dollar cheaper a box.

That being said, this means I’ll have 8 boxes of chocolate stroopwafels in the house…

@stuckigs
Vanilla? I don’t think I ever saw those, I might had bought them.

@Star2236 it might have been honey but they were awesome tasted like vanilla to me lol

DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!

@FireMrshlBill Looks like Maple is back in stock. I might buy another 64 since I bought a chocolate already.

@FireMrshlBill @Tronne Ask not for whom the stroop tolls…

@potchi It worked! Your order number is: eligible-laddered-elk

/image eligible laddered elk

@Kyeh Yeah the filing was fine, but the waffle tasted slightly bitter to me. Was expecting a sweeter more refined chocolate flavor. If I could go back, I would’ve gotten the honey or just the regular ones.

KuoH

@kuoh The maple ones have turned out to be my favorites! They don’t taste strongly maple-ish; I probably wouldn’t have known that’s what they’re supposed to be. They just taste good!
