@phendrick yes, cookies should be like pemican. Made with beef tallow and mechanically separated meat. Nothing that comes out of the ground should be trusted.
@fuzzmanmatt@phendrick@werehatrack I want my junk food to be full on junk food and taste great! Why else buy junk food? And like you I am not a cannibal and so have desire to have people in my cookies. Vegan or not.
The last time around, the only two post-purchase reviews I could find for these did not characterize them as being something likely to be purchased twice.
This information is provided in the spirit of excessive disclosure. Ordering snackish things around here is a really mixed bag; the Frooze Balls and most of the Kind bars were good, the Frookits were very good, and I rather liked the gummies. But there have been some duds, too, and opinions differ about all of this, so take it with a box of salt. (And then head for the ER, because that much salt is Really Bad For You.) (These cookies are probably less bad for you.)
@werehatrack Frooze Balls are still good (and so are dried dates) years later.
The Rule Breaker bites are kind of okay. I wouldn’t rule them as “good”. The regular chocolate chip is kind of close to a lump of cookie dough without sugar (just… Sandy). I did not like the funky rancid oily smell of the double chocolate. The mint ones were very strong on the mint, making them slightly better than crunching a peppermint cane - but at that level of mint, maybe it’s better to chew gum. The pumpkin spice bites were probably the closest to a cinnamon donut hole; filling as hummus, yet flavorful as junk food.
Personally I don’t do junk food for flavor, it’s about convenience (packaged ramen/bars/popcorn that lasts forever, edible practically out of the box without peeling, marinating, or heating).
Based on what I could find in the Amazon reviews, the birthday cake ones seem like a terrible idea, brownies might be decent, and the cookies didn’t have reviews. Their chocolate chip blondies had reviews that were middling, but that seems to be a different product.
Also, one reviewer pointed out there are actually five servings per pouch, so 500 calories and 25+ g of fat.
This is just a glob of fudge with nuts. Much better than their actual brownie.
1 cube (2 oz/57g) is 240 calories, 16g of fat (10g saturated), 22g of carbs (3g being fiber, 9g sugar), and 4g protein
@MatthewDembosky@pmarin Surely you live in a community, and if you’re that desperate for cookies, i imagine another member of your community would be willing to share some that they have.
While i think the effectiveness of the protest will be about as effective as you protesting your lack of cookies alone in your home, i do think it’s worth putting in the very little effort it takes to participate.
$60÷12=$5 per bag¿!! You expect us to believe that Amazon’s selling these 4 oz bags for $5 Each¿? Give Us A Break; most of us Are Not gullible enough to fall for that!! BTW, that would mean each cookie sells for $1.00 @ Amazon!! That’s Cookie Crumble Rubbish! 🫣
@werehatrack No. “The sale of food products for human consumption is exempt from the sales tax unless the food products are prepared for human consumption and provided by a restaurant.”
I ordered 2 of these and recieved 2 x 4oz bags, expecting to receive 24. Did anyone else get there orders and only got 1 single 4oz bag per order? It said 3lbs of cookies, either that was a massive lie or someone made a mistake.

Thank you for offering vegan-free cookies.
I really have no use for vegans in my cookies.
@phendrick yes, cookies should be like pemican. Made with beef tallow and mechanically separated meat. Nothing that comes out of the ground should be trusted.
@fuzzmanmatt @phendrick Maple-flavored sausage patties are just meat cookies, after all.
@fuzzmanmatt @phendrick @werehatrack I want my junk food to be full on junk food and taste great! Why else buy junk food? And like you I am not a cannibal and so have desire to have people in my cookies. Vegan or not.
Is the rule “eat delicious cookies?”
The last time around, the only two post-purchase reviews I could find for these did not characterize them as being something likely to be purchased twice.

@werehatrack I miss all of the Buldok Ramen they used to post. That was good stuff.

@pakopako I ran across a buried box of Frooze balls earlier in the week, and yeah, they’re still good, way past the best-by label.
I’m thinking these will take the longevity record from the Skinny Dipped pumpkin spiced almonds.

@OON7 That many calories and that much fat and still don’t taste good is a crime.
@Pufferfishy That was my thought too. I’ve had good vegan snacks and desserts and I wanted to hit buy on these, but not taking a chance.

Flour, coconut oil, sugar, chocolate, agave, almond flour, pecans, flax, vanilla, baking powder, salt.
4 ounce bag, five servings per bag? That feels intentionally misleading.
@marylynne7 Or perhaps it reflects the maximum number likely to be consumed before the bag gets thrown across the room?
I still have a fistful of TrackRs from an IRK I need to do…something with?
@pyroguy7 These probably taste better than TrackRs, at least.
Keep em up tomorrow and I’ll buy, but I don’t think anybody’s supposed to shop or work today right
@MatthewDembosky what if I want to protest that I don’t have any cookies?
@MatthewDembosky @pmarin Surely you live in a community, and if you’re that desperate for cookies, i imagine another member of your community would be willing to share some that they have.
While i think the effectiveness of the protest will be about as effective as you protesting your lack of cookies alone in your home, i do think it’s worth putting in the very little effort it takes to participate.
@pmarin matt disintegrates like a cookie at any scent of pushback
@MatthewDembosky General Strike is not a member of the Joint Chiefs, alas.
Dip 'em in milk. Why let the cookies have all the rule breaking fun?
Plant based cookies. Well, I never. What will they think of next?
@macphoenix Bird-based eggs?
$60÷12=$5 per bag¿!! You expect us to believe that Amazon’s selling these 4 oz bags for $5 Each¿? Give Us A Break; most of us Are Not gullible enough to fall for that!! BTW, that would mean each cookie sells for $1.00 @ Amazon!!
That’s Cookie Crumble Rubbish! 🫣
How is anyone expected to follow a vegan life style when their food is expensive and gross?
I asked for cheap snacks, Meh. Not overpriced plant pucks.
Why is meh charging Massachusetts sales tax on food?
@rjyanco Are ready-to-eat small-portion snacks subject to tax?
@werehatrack No. “The sale of food products for human consumption is exempt from the sales tax unless the food products are prepared for human consumption and provided by a restaurant.”

@troy looks like there’s an issue to address here.
I ordered 2 of these and recieved 2 x 4oz bags, expecting to receive 24. Did anyone else get there orders and only got 1 single 4oz bag per order? It said 3lbs of cookies, either that was a massive lie or someone made a mistake.
@thiggman Oh no – you were definitely supposed to receive 12 bags per purchase. Please write into CS and we will get it taken care of
@troy Thank you, I did.
@thiggman This happened to me, too! on my way to submit a ticket
@thiggman Same thing happened to me. I just sent my email about it to the powers that be. Let’s see what happens…
@thiggman @wingsgirl26 Sounds like there was a newb packing orders that day.
@thiggman I also just got 2 bags. wild.
I was sent 1 of 12. These had gone bad. I buy them all the time from the company, and love them, there were terrible.
