I used to like them but no longer do. I make homemade cookies so when I eventually try a boxed cookie it tastes disgusting. Homemade cookies are so much better.

Uh, I had a Reese's sundae at Friendly's last summer and it was every bit as delicious as I remembered!

Now I want ice cream.

I miss me some Friendly's. . . .

The sundae topping that I think was called swiss chocolate, it was a mix of chocolate and marshmallow topping, with toasted almonds on top, so good. I don't think I would eat another one if I had a chance for fear of ruining the memory. I wanted to be a friendly's waitress when I grew up-they wore blue and white polyester houndstooth mini dresses that I remember being super cute.

They're too oily tasting.

I actually like the generic/knock offs (Keebler, safeway brand, etc) better. Way cheaper too.

The little brownie ones around here are greasy tasting, I've noticed.

YES.

Finally, people who will come out and say it.

I said the same thing last year on a thread about GS cookies and was attacked on all sides

Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos = LBB
Carmel Delites, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches = ABC

I agree with this. My parents get theirs from ABC and they taste much better. The shortbreads (Trefoils) are a lot more flaky and the taste isn't as overwhelmingly "fake vanilla.:

13:23 - I'm a troop leaders whose council sells Little Brownie Bakers cookies. My sis is a troop leader whose council sells ABC Bakers cookies. So I'm having her ship me the "Thanks a Lot" (shortbread dipped in chocolate) and their version of the s'mores, which is chocolate-dipped.

I'm pretty excited about this.

Canadian lady - do you ever get to America? If so, have a friend buy you some cookies and keep them for you. I have a Canadian friend I'd do this for, if she were visiting soon and wanted cookies. You can also order online but I imagine the shipping would be exorbitant.

p.s. keebler makes a pretty good "grasshopper" cookie that is a lot like the thin mint. I think they make a samoa version as well that is decent.

There are so many threads about this.

Just don't eat them or buy them. Or buy them and donate them to the troops.
