As a preface, this was the first dollar store item we reviewed. The photograph seems to have gotten losts in the mists of time.
16 cookies. Well, 16 coconut-covered blobs on top of 16 mushy, generic cookies. But hey, these are like a cheap and more-easily digestable version of Hostess' Sno-Balls, without seasonal colouration. No, indeed, you get only the lovely tan of the toasted cocoanut and the lovely mushy tan of the base cookie.
Honestly, these could be far worse. We can even compare the taste to that of a name-brand 'dessert' item. Nate just had a moment of consideration about whether he would eat a third. See? We're willing to eat more than one, and not just for the scientific standards we want to uphold.
One thing to note: the label says 'Product of Canada', while Mrs. Alison's Cookie Co. claims to be in St. Louis Missouri. Hm...these better not be from the genetically engineered corn-field children from that episode of 'The X-Files'.
Rating: Not Bad.
