@AmeliaStar@sfwineguy I am guessing they are boxed as one or the other. When the open the leftovers to scarf on them, we will get the leftover packages in the IRKs, which is ok with me.
@mediocrebot I actually remember getting cookies that size, and I don’t mean the cereal cookies. I think they were call “squirrel bits” or something. Yummmm!
Cookies like these sell at the vending machine for a dollar a bag. You guys are selling them for a dollar a bag. Be serious now… are you a vending machine?
@ardycake Are they still that cheap? Last vending machine I looked had somewhat shocking prices. A dollar feels like a price from 8 years ago. No? o Si?
@ardycake A 2.12 oz package of Grandma’s vanilla creme cookies is $2.30 in the vending machine where I work. And the sell by date - 1/3/26 - isn’t much better.
( 2.5 oz/bag ) * 12 bag = 30 oz.
$12 / 30 oz = $0.40 / oz. I’m not sure how good these are compared to some competing alternatives in the same price range
That makes them about half the price of Famous Amos at Amazon. Kind of ashamed to admit I don’t look at the price when i buy them from the vending machine at work. (I’m too shocked when the machine is actually working.)
@meherson@Wireball_ well, they are better when they are handed to you free by your friendly United Airlines attendant/“stewardess?”. Wait, what century am I in?
If you can unfold yourself from your 12” legroom seat to get your wallet, hand over the credit card to pay $5 for these plus $2 for water. Flying is such a S$()’tbag life now.
i looked. it’s a buck-fifty-five at work for 2 oz Sweet Serenity brand. And yes, flying sucks. Any flight with a connection has only about 50% chance of arriving on the scheduled day.
Got excited when I saw these, since I have to buy snacks for band all the time… but $1 a bag of tiny cookies is still not a good deal. Cookie snack packs are like $0.40 each. When these are $0.25 I’d be all in.

I hate everything about United other than the landings.
Intriguing but that’s way too many cookies
@Cerridwyn They’re 2.5oz per bag. Is it really that many? 🫣 I guess for a single person maybe…yeah i guess i shouldn’t get these either, huh? 🫣
@AmeliaStar @Cerridwyn 6 per serving *2.5 = around 15 per bag
15*12= 180
@AmeliaStar @Cerridwyn @russellmz And they’re practically bite-sized!
@russellmz Ok, so $12.00 / ~180 = 6.67 cents per cookie.

@mediocrebot @yakkoTDI Probably just annoyed at my constant requests.
It’s uncivilized that you can’t get a mixed order.
@sfwineguy Right? I want a mixed set, too!! Maybe they’ll have them by next mehrathon if they don’t sell out.
@AmeliaStar @sfwineguy I am guessing they are boxed as one or the other. When the open the leftovers to scarf on them, we will get the leftover packages in the IRKs, which is ok with me.
Chocolate chip cookies are my biggest weakness, tied with pizza
@heartny- my weaknesses are Pork BarB-Q Ribs, Beef Bar B-Q Ribs, Shrimp, Chicken, Manudo, Pork Sausage, Fully Loaded Pizza, Chocholate Anything, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Merlot Wine & Tequila!!
@1DisabledWarVet @heartny This disabled war vet has a list even longer than (but not dissimilar from) yours! Thank God for Ozempic!

The spouse announced cookies will be home baked every day starting the day after Thanksgiving.
@Everbody Lucky you!
@Everbody Why is a mouse making baking announcements in your hou … ok, nevermind.

@mediocrebot OMG, super cute, wife will be pleased!

Are these essential?
I decline all non-essential cookies!
@phendrick They appear essential!
/8ball are these cookies essential?
Very doubtful
I like my cookies soft

Sorry, Meh. This is where my frugalness hurts your pocketbook. I make my own cookies. I throat feels dry just looking at these processed pucks.
( 2.5 oz/bag ) * 12 bag = 30 oz.
$12 / 30 oz = $0.40 / oz. I’m not sure how good these are compared to some competing alternatives in the same price range
@Wireball_ Famous Amos on Amazon are $19/20 pack for 1.2 oz packages. These seem more “gourmet,” although that doesn’t mean they’re actually better.
That makes them about half the price of Famous Amos at Amazon. Kind of ashamed to admit I don’t look at the price when i buy them from the vending machine at work. (I’m too shocked when the machine is actually working.)
