@goldnectar this comes out to $0.50 an ounce by my math. That’s not bad too me, considering Reese’s cups are often 25~40¢ per ounce. (Oreo’s are about half that.)
The ingredient list is child abuse in its purest form. Hand a kid this shart-fuel made from garbanzo beans, oil, date paste, vegan farts, more oil, and glycerin… then tell them it’s a cookie? Satan himself would tell you to back off.
@blaadnort Yeah, as a “health” product these fail just about every measure besides “won’t literally kill your instantly unless you’re deathly allergic to beans and such”.
@blaadnort@TelanisBut They actually conform to the image of “health food” from farther back in food history very faithfully. If it was good for you, it was supposed to be awful.
@ArmchairGamer I have long wondered whether the word list used for generating order numbers is customized to a season so that it can occasionally generate thematic ones.
This year I became in charge of snacks for the software department. (Plus the people who come in and pilfer our snacks.) I’ll try putting these out and we’ll see how much longer I have a job.
@SSteve You could have a two-part system - a hidden snack stash for the department and a decoy display for the pilferers. And if these are awful, they’ll be perfect for the latter!
@mehclain@werehatrack I think not having a hyphen after “Vegan” makes a comma not necessary. Vegan- and Gluten-Free would have indicated “free” on both

This is a monster deal!!
/giphy cookie monster
10/11, but probably only if you have 10 out of the 11 food allergies…
I wanted to want these, but it seems like these probably aren’t worth the calories.
5 servings per 4 oz pack --> 0.8 oz per 100 Calorie serving. So you eat 3-5 servings of a giant fiber-load…
Anyway, don’t fly Delta after downing a pack of these.
@shahnm agreed! Doesn’t seem worth it when the calories and carbs are comparable to 2 Oreo cookies.
Yuck…
Plus, they’ll make you fart!
@robson
That is a plus!!
@robson So maybe they should be called Wind Breaker Bites?
@JvB Yep!
$24 buys me a lot cookies and even more cookie ingredients. This doesn’t feel much like a deal. Am I missing something?

@blaadnort IDK, Satan might hand these out for Halloween!

@blaadnort At first I read Satan as Santa…and it still makes sense.
@blaadnort @PooltoyWolf
/giphy Santa Satan
These look appealing to me. I have a co-worker with several allergies who’ll try them as well.
What could go wrong?
@ArmchairGamer You did ask.
@ArmchairGamer I have long wondered whether the word list used for generating order numbers is customized to a season so that it can occasionally generate thematic ones.
@ArmchairGamer @werehatrack it does seem thematic
/giphy dire-dubious-witchcraft
@midstarrynight @werehatrack That’s good to know, and a cool bonus.
I mean, a mediocre bonus.
@ArmchairGamer @werehatrack Seasonal order numbers are a thing.

@Kyeh @SSteve I can commend the ability of jalapeno-flavored Jelly Bellies to dissuade raiding of the stash from outside.
@SSteve @werehatrack Or these:

BIrthday Cake Blonde…Carnuba wax, the best shine you ever tasted…
@gfreek I bet it’s the shine on the sprinkles.
Not sure I really want to know, but what is prebiotic fiber?
@blaineg “existing or occurring before the emergence of life”
@blaineg prebiotics are basically food for the “good bacteria” in your gut. Whether this lives up to that title or not, I won’t try to guess.
The guy in the last pic looks like a combination of Kelsey Grammer and Bob Hope
@ybmuG With Peter Lorre standing over the table, dropping cookies.
What is vegan-free? You said vegan and gluten-free. I need this.
@mehclain Missing Oxford comma FTL. Had they reversed the two things, no ambiguity would have existed, and the OC would not have been needed.
@mehclain
@mehclain @werehatrack I think not having a hyphen after “Vegan” makes a comma not necessary. Vegan- and Gluten-Free would have indicated “free” on both
@mehclain @troy
@mehclain @troy Knowing the proclivities of this crowd, this assertion loses local credibility.
@mehclain @troy @werehatrack AI will fix our mistkaes soon enuogh.
@mehclain ooooh, I like vegan-free food!
@mehclain @OnionSoup But think of all the wasred hasenpfeffer!
@mehclain @OnionSoup The worst part is vegan food is that it doesn’t taste like vegans.
And, it isn’t minimal or sustainable.
Give me the extra gluten that was taken out of these!
These taste gross.
Too bad I can’t return.
@fanofuna However, you can hit meh.com/support and voice your dissatisfaction.
@fanofuna I find they’re kind of OK. At least the mint chocolate I got (which was mostly mint).
What flavor did you get?
These things are horrible. I won’t contact customer service because I don’t believe they’re defective. They’re just awful.
@Trinityscrew I still don’t understand why people find these horrible. Did I get a different flavor?
@pakopako @Trinityscrew Tastes vary. Check the comments about the hummus
Fair. Makes me wonder if people haven’t had chickpeas or if the peas went bad.
