Bad Food Purchases
February 27th, 2008Don’t buy these…
The fluted shape is attractive, I like the idea of “light texture” and I keep getting tricked into thinking they’ll be MORE delicious than regular Walker’s. Like a dollar-fifty more delicious because they are fucking $6 a box. And there’s only 12 cookies in the goddamn box.
Unlike regular Walker’s shortbread, which taste mainly of butter and are basically a socially-acceptable way of eating logs of pie crust, these have vanilla in them. Which somehow tastes very cheap and phoney… like an off-brand yellow sandwich cookie you’d get at a shady bodega for some weird amount of money like 87 cents or 53 cents.
Also gross – Stoneyfield Yogurt’s “Caramel Underground.” Half-filled, unpleasantly-colored barf-water cups. Couldn’t find a picture online. Use your imagination.

Whatever happened to those 2/$1.00 bodega/Rite Aid/cheap supermarket “butter” cookies? They came in plain and cinnamon, had about 24 in a package and were darn tasty.

What Michelle said. Those el cheapo “tea biscuit” cookies are the best value at whatever shop you’re at. Any cookie pack that costs more than $2 at a bodega is a lie.
