War Child
I bought ONE box yesterday and I'm glad I didn't get more. I got my fave, tagalongs, but they are now called just 'peanut butter patties.' For years, they had been delicious- a cookie wafer with a blob of peanut butter on top dipped in dark chocolate. The peanut butter was so soft you could lick it off like licking it of the spoon. The chocolate was soft and good. When I bit into my new 'pattie' I was furious because I thought I'd been given something that was stale and left over from last year. Honestly, it looked and tasted exactly like a Reese cup that had been left in the freezer for months. The peanut butter is now hard and tasteless, the chocolate thin, light and poor quality, the wafer chalky. I took it back and asked if I had a bad box, but the lady said they changed the recipe and baking companies and that they were all like that now. They were trying to economize and cut out transfat, but whatever they did dipped them beneath the quality of Walmart 99 cent a box cookies (GS coookies are still $3.50)
I called the 1 800 number to tell them I didn't mean to be mean but honestly they are going to lose faithful customers once they find out how gross the cookies are now. GS cookies have been the one fundraiser kids sell that people actually want and don't just buy out of obligation but that could change. I am so glad I didn't preorder a half dozen boxes like I usually do or I'd be stuck! Now I'm also afraid to buy any other flavor, even the mints, because they may have changed too.
So let this be a warning to only buy one box first and see if you think you can stand it before you waste any more money. The cookies aren't what they used to be.
I'd also like to hear all your comments and opinions once you taste them. Thanks.
