@jayman007 Bought them last time for myself and my granddaughter. She didn’t even like them. Take my word, they are not cookies. Not sure exactly what they are.
@Felton10@jayman007 Per Wikipedia: “A stroopwafel (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈstroːpˌʋaːfəl]; literally “syrup waffle”) is a wafer cookie made from two thin layers of baked dough joined by a caramel filling.”
You’ve never had an EL Fudge or oreo before? They’re just sandwich cookies.
@Felton10@jayman007, they are stroopwafles & you’re probably to eat them with icecream, or with a bit of milk. I have a friend from Iceland who simply loves them!!
@bmartinez1384 i logged in after months and months to star this. Those meal replacement cookies use chicory root fiber and those make me feel like I’m exhaling deeply but from my anus instead of my lungs.
@awk@jimmyb83@jrbudda@sippinndippin, you’re right & I left the part out about your blood, sweat & tears!! My bad. I think the sugar is for the brain & muscles, but I forgot much of my studies in Food Microbiology 101. My Bad!! So it goes at 72!! Don’t forget to drink your H²O & goat’s milk!!

@Felton10, I still got some ah dat candy corn jolio!! They come in handy when my blood sugar is low, but I had forgot about them, but I just can’t imagine why, since they’re are so delicous!!
I’ve been eating them regularly. I found that as long as I don’t eat more than two per day, I don’t have any problems with the ol’ gut-gurglin’ and butt-poopin’. Your intestines may vary.
Too bad they’re not vegan. With that ingredient list, they sound like they ought to be. Chicory Root Fiber, Chickpea Flour, Sunflower Lecithin, Oat Fiber, Monkfruit Extract? Like, come on, use some flaxmilk and psyllum for the egg and you’ve got a perfect vegan treat right there! (I say this as someone who buys a lot of vegan sweets because my SO is allergic to chicken eggs and cow’s milk)
@caffeineguy Don’t know, nor do I care enough to research it. All I know is that if he consumes milk, he projectile vomits worthy of an Excorcist movie, and if he eats eggs, he’ll go into anaphylaxis. But most of the other ingredients on these sound like something that belongs in one of those vegan snack bars.

Great, if you order these they won’t be here for a month, when we get some of the hottest days of the Summer too
I thought these were actual waffles last time. Like frozen waffles. They came in and I was confused about the lack of refrigeration and instructions to do so.
It wasn’t until I opened the box that I discovered they were cookies. And cookies that I don’t like very much.
Bought two boxes this time. Why, since I dislike them so much?
I love these, they make for a great breakfast when I have to drag my ass out of bed for a 7:30 am meeting. If it turns out these are really bad for you I’m screwed
Yeah, bought these in a hurry during the meh-off, thinking they were going to be like the big-giant pack of actual stroop waffels from Costco. No, It’s a tiny, overpriced box, almost $1/ea. I open them up, start scarfing one down, then realize they’re some sort of alternative funny food… WTF? only 3g sugar? What’s in these things? I’m allergic to a bunch of legumes, including chicpeas, F! Spit it out, grab the Benedryl.
So, just like last time: the important thing isn’t just how much fiber something has, but the type. The first ingredient in these is inulin (from the chicory root). Some, if not most, people will react to this ingredient with some level of gastrointestinal distress. Add to that the fact that these things are pretty much made out of it (when even just a gram or two can have adverse effects), and you can imagine how bad things will get.
Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who aren’t affected by this prebiotic fiber; then you might actually enjoy this purchase. But if you ever ate a Fiber One bar and felt bad afterward, this is like that, but dialed up a few levels. If you want more comfortable alternatives, look for products with soluble corn fiber and/or methylcellulose (what you find in Quest bars and Citrucel, respectively).
@thecosmicjester I never tried the Kashi stuff, but looking at the ingredients, it seems to just be various grains, oats, and natural sugars, so I’m not sure if it will even have any kind of adverse effect. I could be wrong though.
Meanwhile, these cookies have a massive dose of inulin. You would need to eat 2-3 Fiber One bars to get the same amount. Pretty ridiculous.
@ShotgunX There’s the chicory toot fiber in Kashi Go Crunch. The tales of adverse side effects are right up there with Haribo sugar-free gummi bears. One person said if they wore roller skates after eating a bowl that they wouldn’t have needed to move their legs to get around.
@thecosmicjester It probably depends on the specific type/flavor. The one for which I found a label online didn’t have any. Unless it’s a hidden ingredient?
I’ve seen other products in which one type/flavor has ingredients that others don’t. Some Atkins bars, for example, will have inulin, while others will have the much nicer soluble corn fiber. That’s why I check all labels these days.
Protip: They might be lovely microwaved for 5 seconds. But take them out of the foil first. I just had a lovely little light show because I foolishly popped one in the microwave still in the package.
The Truth about Windows 95
From a rec.humor.funny posting by <fa-aaaaaaat-dat-dawt-dtu.dk> dated 19 March 1996.
What you did not know about Windows 95
Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit.
As we were talking I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows 95 on my PC. I told him how happy I was with this operating system, and showed him the Windows 95 CD. To my surprise he threw it into my microwave oven and turned the oven on. Instantly I got very upset, because the CD had become precious to me, but he said: ‘Do not worry, it is unharmed.’ After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said: ‘Take a close look at it.’ To my surprise the CD was quite cold to hold and it seemed to be heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner edge of the central hole I saw a inscription, an inscription finer than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth:
‘No, but I can,’ he said. ‘The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what it says:’
One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them…
I guess I’m using these the right way then. I have about 4 left of the first box I opened, because I’m having one every couple of days with coffee. I just set it on top of the coffee cup to warm it up. Haven’t gotten to the Carmel yet, the Snickerdoodle is OK.
I bought this the last time with some hesitancy, not knowing how my body would handle the fiber and exotic ingredients. Everything has been fine, all 24 waffels are gone, and I am buying more. They have been a great treat after running.
Snickerdoodle is the winner here. Dutch caramel and Vanilla is fine but has a vague artificial flavor taste to it.
As Lame as it gets…Come On Meh. You can do better than this. If I wanted the same quantity Dutch Stroopwafels from the #1 brand in Holland delivered to my door for free in less than 24 hours for a cheaper price, I’d search no further than Amazon…Daelman’s Stroopwafels Caramel Pack of 24 for 19.70 Prime. Are you Running out of deals Meh?
@CHURCHILL1@RiotDemon I’ve been wondering what that calculator button on my keyboard is for. Tarjay wins @ $0.498 per unit, almost half the unit cost of the others.
These are great at a good price for this brand, even with s&h added in. And they are particularly good to carry out on the bike, hiking, etc. - these have helped fuel many endurance events for me. Individually wrapped is key for the value, here, but you can also get less expensive stroopwafels in bulk at Costco (and elsewhere) - also very good.
As a wooden-shoe wetback (well, not actually, but my parents both are), and someone who has consumed many of these (homemade, of course), they are pretty good for being store bought. I get it that people want to joke about the bowel properties of said delicacy but reality is no one has ever truly consumed to jump start a jammed fecal superhighway. Now Olibolen… that dutch treat will free your innards without prejudice! I digress… These are pretty good. Pro tip: Place them on your coffee cup and let the heat from the Java gold soften and deliver heaven on earth…
Wife and I are both enjoying these as an occasional snack we don’t need to feel bad about eating while trapped indoors. Haven’t tried them warmed yet. I think both flavors taste fine! My only complaint is that they’re nearly as messy as a Nature’s Valley granola bar and tend to disintegrate onto my clothing while eating.
Only got one last time, so getting two this time to have some in reserve.
The ones I received from the last time they were offered are incredibly crumbly to the point they were messy every time I unwrapped one. I took two for my coworkers and had to warn them…very crumbly.
Got these last time because I love stroopwafels!
BUT they are “low-carb,” artificially sweetened with monk fruit extract. I’ve eaten a couple of them, they’re okay. Not great, certainly not worth the price. I’ll stick to Daelman’s.
@Cerridwyn I am a husband of 45 years, a father to two terrific adult daughters, and a trainer of KP HealthConnect (Epic) for Kaiser Permanente. My paternal grandfather was born in Oslo and emigrated when he was 17, but both his parents died shortly after arrival in Nebraska. He stayed with another family for a couple of years. He married my grandmother and they had two sons, my father being the younger. He died when my father was two, and there are two stories about that. But that is all I know of my Norwegian heritage. OTOH, my Chinese adopted daughter was able to receive a “Sons of Norway” scholarship by explaining what her Norwegian heritage meant to her.
@DaveJohnsen
Sweet!
My grandfather, also a Johnsen, game from Oslo, met my grandmother here, she was from farther north in Norway.
And from a professional point of view, I actually like EPIC, don’t get to use it really much, but when I do it is much easier than other EHR’s I’ve had to find stuff in - most of the time, LOL
I got mine. Pretty tasty. I like the vanilla and caramel better, but the snicker-doodle is a close second (out of two, so I guess it’s the worst one??). The consistency is the selling point for me. I probably wouldn’t order again as there are other snacks I definitely like more, but no regrets with this purchase.
They are ok-ish. I definitely like the Snickerdoodle better. Did anyone else come across the same thing I did? I opened a package without looking, took a bite and found I was biting into stroopless waffel. So far it was only that one time, but I’m starting to feel a conspiracy happening: last time I got sausage and egg McGriddles, all I got was the griddles - no sausage, no egg.

@ThoR294 Not sure…a ton of Mehricans were saying be careful so I never bought them.
@Stallion @ThoR294 Just don’t eat three at a time and you’ll be fine.
@Stallion No problem here. I prefer the snickerdoodle, but my wife likes the vanilla better, so it works out well.
@Stallion it seems to be caramel from experience
Bought these last time. Not impressed. Really not impressed to see them again so soon.

As a wooden-shoe wetback (well, not actually, but my parents both are), and someone who has consumed many of these (homemade, of course), they are pretty good for being store bought. I get it that people want to joke about the bowel properties of said delicacy but reality is no one has ever truly consumed to jump start a jammed fecal superhighway. Now Olibolen… that dutch treat will free your innards without prejudice! I digress… These are pretty good. Pro tip: Place them on your coffee cup and let the heat from the Java gold soften and deliver heaven on earth…
@DasGoob
Had 2 Dutch roomies in college. I LOVED the Olibolen one’s mom made at new years…
PS “Wooden Shoe Wetbacks” would be a great band name!

Wife and I are both enjoying these as an occasional snack we don’t need to feel bad about eating while trapped indoors. Haven’t tried them warmed yet. I think both flavors taste fine! My only complaint is that they’re nearly as messy as a Nature’s Valley granola bar and tend to disintegrate onto my clothing while eating.
Only got one last time, so getting two this time to have some in reserve.
The ones I received from the last time they were offered are incredibly crumbly to the point they were messy every time I unwrapped one. I took two for my coworkers and had to warn them…very crumbly.
If you put a stroopwafel on top of your coffee mug in the morning, it’ll get nice and warm and chewy. That’s my favorite way to enjoy them.
@brookej ****that’s how the flight attendant showed us how to warm and eat them. Thank her warm heart.
@brookej @ludiddley4 How to warm and eat flight attendant?
@bgammill @brookej @ludiddley4
Hmmm. And here I thought the mile high club was just an urban legend…
@bgammill @brookej they are best pickled
@bgammill @brookej @ludiddley4 What about fava beans?
@bgammill @blaineg @brookej @ludiddley4 I place my Stroopwafel over a nice warm glass of Chianti…

Got these last time because I love stroopwafels!
BUT they are “low-carb,” artificially sweetened with monk fruit extract. I’ve eaten a couple of them, they’re okay. Not great, certainly not worth the price. I’ll stick to Daelman’s.

@melwin Cool fish.

Anyone know the WW points on one of these things. SWMBO will want to know that before indulging…
In for three this time.

Wanted to try a pack of these last time, but something shiny distracted me.
High fiber is the perfect thing for me right now after mistaking a poop cramp for a heart attack this morning at 3AM.
I’m addicted to these stupid things… They’re so tasty
Hey, there’s a warranty. And mine are certainly not going to last 90 days. Please replace them under the warranty.
@DaveJohnsen Normal wear and tear is not covered unless you purchase the unlimited miles warranty extension.

@kuoh These are very tasty, and upon opening the box, I was unable to stop eating them until I had finished three. Is that normal?
I like 'em, the kids like 'em. Nuff said.
frightening-rigid-secretary Hmm. This order tag made me think you should all see the movie “The Secretary” with James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal
@DaveJohnsen
who is dave johnsen?
and what Scandinavian country does your family come from?
@Cerridwyn I am a husband of 45 years, a father to two terrific adult daughters, and a trainer of KP HealthConnect (Epic) for Kaiser Permanente. My paternal grandfather was born in Oslo and emigrated when he was 17, but both his parents died shortly after arrival in Nebraska. He stayed with another family for a couple of years. He married my grandmother and they had two sons, my father being the younger. He died when my father was two, and there are two stories about that. But that is all I know of my Norwegian heritage. OTOH, my Chinese adopted daughter was able to receive a “Sons of Norway” scholarship by explaining what her Norwegian heritage meant to her.
@DaveJohnsen
Sweet!
My grandfather, also a Johnsen, game from Oslo, met my grandmother here, she was from farther north in Norway.
And from a professional point of view, I actually like EPIC, don’t get to use it really much, but when I do it is much easier than other EHR’s I’ve had to find stuff in - most of the time, LOL
@Cerridwyn @DaveJohnsen more Norwegians! Nice!
Anybody made it out of “Processing” yet? I’m starting to get cravings >.>
I got mine. Pretty tasty. I like the vanilla and caramel better, but the snicker-doodle is a close second (out of two, so I guess it’s the worst one??). The consistency is the selling point for me. I probably wouldn’t order again as there are other snacks I definitely like more, but no regrets with this purchase.
PS. These would go GREAT with ice cream.
They are ok-ish. I definitely like the Snickerdoodle better. Did anyone else come across the same thing I did? I opened a package without looking, took a bite and found I was biting into stroopless waffel. So far it was only that one time, but I’m starting to feel a conspiracy happening: last time I got sausage and egg McGriddles, all I got was the griddles - no sausage, no egg.
