Who the hell eats Chips Ahoy cookies?

Obviously millions of people or they wouldn’t be making them. They aren’t the best I’ve had but they taste just fine

Kids and people who like waxy chocolate. I don't care for them but my husband can eat the entire box in 2 days.

I hate crumbly, chalky cookies like this. The soft bake ones in the red package are okay.

They're delicious.

Especially with an ice cold glass of milk.

When you can't have a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie, Chips Ahoy will do just fine.

Negative Nancy.

2 days? Amateur.

I love Chewy chips ahoy and Rainbow candy chips ahoy

R2, 2 days? I can polish off a package of the chewy ones in one evening 😅

The chewy ones are so freaking good, R6! Yes!

[quote] I love Chewy chips ahoy and Rainbow candy chips ahoy

Whew. I thought you typed "Chewy Nips."

Yum!

My husband. He’s a big fan of cafeteria food. When he likes a restaurant he says, “The food is really good. Like cafeteria food.” I’ve tasted his mothers cooking. It’s flavorless. No wonder he likes cafeteria food.

I would say “I feel like having something sweet” and he’d say, “There are Chips Ahoy in the cabinet.” And I’d say “Are you kidding me? They taste like nothing. Why waste the fat & calories? They’re only good for scraping your tongue.”

You sound like a prisspot, R9.

How does he tolerate you.

You would get on my last nerve.

The regular ones are bad but the THINS are pretty good, especially broken over ice cream.

I can eat Chips Ahoy and Oreos by the bucket load.

They are sooooooooooo good!

They taste like chemicals. No, thanks.

R13, they'd taste better if you remove the stick from your ass.

I loved them as a kid. Haven't had them in ages.

I soak them in milk.

They're delicious when soggy.

I like the ones with M&Ms for chips. They're delicious with a glass of milk, coffee, or tea.

Chewy chips ahoy, Nilla wafers, fudge Graham’s, Lorna Doone my faves

I was binging chewy Chips Ahoy during quarantine. They are so good yet so nasty. Crunchy CA are fine, but i like the soft ones better.

What is better: Keebler Soft Batch cookies or Chewy Chips Ahoy?

In a world full of discord, can we all agree Fudge Stripe cookies beat them all?

Well...I love the Keebler striped ones with the coconut and caramel that mimics those girl scout cookies. Those are way too easy to eat the entire box in one sitting. I don't think I've had Keebler chocolate chip cookies - soft or hard. I should - you know what they say about elves...

I remember getting a huge breakout on my face as a kid from eating them.

This is a first class household. We only ear Pepperidge Farms.

LOL, R23. I appreciate you.

Lots of fatties in this thread.

Bought them once long ago. Never again.

I like the snack pack cookie cups. I buy one Nilla wafer and one nutter butter.

Let's stick to chocolate cookies. When you really want a homemade tollhouse cookie but are too lazy to make them from scratch, what's your go-to brand? I never tried the refrigerated ones you slice off the roll. Any good?

I thought fatties were jolly.

I remember a night, sometime in 1969, when I had seized the bag of Chips Ahoy cookies and fled out of the kitchen and into the backyard, pursued by three of my cousins, who were trying to get them from me, and by my dog, who was just loving the excitement, and was chasing us all around. I was five years old. I ran like a lunatic, dodging back and forth, barefoot in the grass, and all the while cramming cookies into my mouth. When they finally caught me the bag was empty except for crumbs (a 𝑙𝑜𝑡 of crumbs; the cookies hadn't really survived the tussle intact).

Chips Ahoy was quite different back then. The cookies were larger and tastier; I don't particularly recognize what they pass off at Chips Ahoy these days.

Foods that taste like 1997.

duncan hines used to make a chewy chocolate chip cookie back in the 80's. they were so good.

I feel like buying a bag of Oreos and eating the whole damned bag!

[quote] I feel like buying a bag of Oreos and eating the whole damned bag!

What's another 10 pounds to add to your 600 pound frame, R33?

He’s already gotten mine, r10!

[quote] I don't care for them but my husband can eat the entire box in 2 days.

Y’all are right about Hubby being an amateur. 2 days. I see your two days and raise you two minutes.

Ugh, they have a weird, cheap off flavor, like sweetened coconut.

But I knew a German guy, Manfred. He used to come to the US for a month’s holiday every year and that’s what he would eat for lunch every day. He loved them and I guess they weren’t for sale in Germany at the time. Tried to convert him to Pepperidge Farm but no dice.

I don’t remember him.

They're gross, but I do remember liking them in 2nd grade.

Either they were better when I was a kid, or my tastes have changed drastically.

THESE were the ultimate packaged CCC:

Keebler is packaged puke.

It doesn't even taste like a cookie. It tastes like processed crap.

At least Chips Ahoy tastes like a real cookie.

R42 you wouldn’t know a real cookie if it crawled up your own ass.

Ewww

Honestly, things did taste better years ago. Entennmann’s is inedible now.

Hard-baked cookies of any brand suck, especially the chocolate chip ones.

Maybe I'm spoiled, because I grew up eating my mother's homemade toll-house cookies. It was heaven devouring them while still warm from the oven.

How about Mrs Fields cookies?

Are they good?

Keebler elves for me.

OTIS SPUNKMEYER ONLY.

Aldi cheap ones are good..never had the Chiapas ahoy but someone said they’re like aldi crunchy (they’ve soft baked too.)

[quote] Aldi cheap ones are good..never had the Chiapas ahoy

Is that the Mexican brand?

[quote] Whew. I thought you typed "Chewy Nips."

You have to say my full name three times in order to summon me.

The #1 best packaged chocolate chip cookies I've had were by a Canadian (I think) brand called President's Choice. For several years, Jewel grocery stores in Chicago sold them as their upscale house brand. Then another company bought out Jewel, and that was the end of President's Choice around here.

Wasn't there a cookie brand named Famous Anus, or something?

There was a US grocery chain called National that sold President’s Choice grocery products, loved the cookies! 🍪

In the States, Tate's is where it's at... Aldi has Benton's Chocolate Chip Cookie Thins that taste identical to Tate's. Best ingredients, no crappy oils, only butter, no preservatives or artificial flavours. I swear they're Tate's, or someone stole their recipe. Nabisco sucks, save for some crackers they make.

R49 I never did try those, but loving the name!

R53 The President's Choice were really good. Their Butter Thins crackers were the best ever. Each time I found myself in Canada, I'd search out all these President's Choice items.

Used to taste great, now it's an awful product Cheap.

[quote] Wasn't there a cookie brand named Famous Anus, or something?

Yes, the Pecan Butt Creme flavor was my favorite!

Who in the hell is Stan Kroenke?

[quote]—Soft and chewy all the way.

Is that a description of the cookie or of you?

R45, you are so right about Entenmann's. They used to be great, especially the walnut and pecan danish rings (whatever happened to them, by the way?). Now Entenmann's (like Tastykake) is processed shit.

I think the soft Peppridge Farm cookies are the best (I don't gaf how it's spelled "Oh, dear" cunt)

[quote] Who the hell eats Chips Ahoy cookies?

Apparently millions and millions of people. There are 37 million pounds of chocolate use to make Chips Ahoy! Cookies in a single year and that is equal the weight of 11,749 mid-size automobiles. That is just the chocolate.

R64, the product no longer tastes good.

If Chips Ahoy aren't up to snuff why not drop by Jean Hwang Carrant?

Anyone know Linden’s Cookies? Hard and dry but I still love em.

R62 Remember the holiday cupcakes? And the chocolate chip cake with mocha frosting between the two layers?

R67, only the lemon flavor

I don't care about cookies but a big box of friggen Ritz crackers mysteriously found its way down my gullet this week. I am weak around them and will mindlessly eat every single one of them. god forbid there's peanut butter in the house at the same time.

I prefer to eat cow patties.

Mrs Field's Milk Chocolate Macademia Cookies at Bloomingdales ca. 1995 were FABULOUS still warm . THE BEST cookies EVA.

I love Chips Ahoy. I always keep them in my cookie jar.

[quote] I love Chips Ahoy. I always keep them in my cookie jar.

Grandma, is that you??

Yum!

Almost Home were really good, and sadly, that's about as far as they got.

I prefer Chimps Ahoy!

r77 is why I love DL. The unexpected giggle! Thanks, hun.

I love them. They taste weird and fake but for some reason I love them.

Tate's make great chocolate chip cookies. A bit pricey but worth it.

Tate’s is great. These aren’t bad, either.

Mrs. Fields have always tastes like they add alcohol to the mix. Anyone else taste that?

I’ll have to try to the Benton’s from ALDI r56 mentioned.

Anyone remember these? They were awful btw.

A friend who worked a mrs. fields mall bakery shop said they use extra strong vanilla not available in grocery stores maybe that’s the alcohol upthread guy has mentioned?

Mrs. Fields are CRAP now. The Mrs. Fields of 1995 was HIGH END and HIGH QUALITY that is why they were sold fresh out of the oven at Bloomingdales back then.

I love Archway's soft-baked cookies, especially the oatmeal raisin or the glazed lemon ones -- can't say I've seen soft-baked chocolate chip ones by them, too? I'd imagine they'd taste great if I can find them!

theres a white chocolate, macadamia nut frozen cookie dough slices brand that's pretty fantastic. I do like those, I don't remember what brand they were though

Ugh soft chewy cookies! Cookies should be crumbly, chalky and dry to have the right mouth feel. Liking soft chewy cookies is like enjoying dry crumbly muffins, muffins should be moist, scones dry and crumbly. Get your mouth feels right people!

While certainly not my favorite, they melt in milk really deliciously, and I'll buy a bag from time to time. They remind me of being a kid.

Tate's are fucking garbage.

Tate’s packaging looks like it’s striving for sophistication, but just comes off as cheap and it always sways me not to buy it.

Slow day in the office basement, OP?

A long time ago, there was a supermarket baggers checkers strike in Los Angeles; to support the people on strike shoppers were urged to go to health food stores for groceries; I went to a locale one in LA and I've never gone back.

All the supermarket food tastes like crap.

🍪 Once I ate an entire bag of Chips Ahoy. And I drank a big glass of fat free milk, because I'm trying to eat healthier.

I had a stomach ache for two days, and I gained three ounces.

Chip's Ahoy are vegan, so there's that. I know this because I have traveled with a vegan friend and she would get them at truck stops. They were here guilty pleasure.

They remind me of grandma’s house in the 1970s.

Milanos are the KWEENS of the Kookie Kingdom!

I haven't had Chips Ahoy in many years, but now I'll probably pick up a package when I go shopping tomorrow.

I got a package of Chips Ahoy earlier this year, the first time of many years, and they were really gross tasting. They tasted like vanilla extract with a chemical aftertaste. Even generic brands at Walmart taste better.

I’m always taken aback when I hear about gays shopping at Walmart, how do they not know better?

R99 Not all gays lives in areas with lots of shopping options. I don't shop there all the time, but the local grocer have significantly higher prices and less products to choose from. For me, it's either Walmart, the aforementioned local grocer, Family Dollar and Dollar General (limited grocery items there too. plus no produce).

There are a lot of things I don't think about Walmart, the family that owns it and the way they run things, but sometimes you don't have much choice.

A lot of people (including gays) still use Amazon, and they aren't much better than Walmart, in several respects.

R53 I agree on President’s Choice being the only decent hard baked chocolate chip cookies. PC is a popular store brand owned by the Loblaws grocery chain in Canada; they make a lot of good products.

Yes, R101, but they need to figure out a way to reintroduce their products to US markets.

I have an auto immune disease, RA. and my appetite is poor. I eat the following, chips ahoy, nonni's chocolati biscoti, various cereal and 2% milk, chicken noodle soup or lean cuisine (which lasts 2 days) I can't say enough about CA and cold milk when nothing sounds good. I've lost around 8 lbs, but nothing drastic and I look great. (I have always eaten chips ahoy).

Fat pigs eat them.

I never liked them, even as a kid.

I preferred Oreos and Flaky Flix.

Now Oreos come in all these atrocious flavors and Flaky Flix no longer exists.

Probably for the best.

[quote](I don't gaf how it's spelled "Oh, dear" cunt)

If only you were typing on a machine that could somehow give you the correct spelling in less than a second.

When will they invent something like this?

R101 I’m confused, Canada, a country without a president, has a product line called President’s Choice?

Chips Ahoy has too many ingredients I don't like.

Eat 'em or wear 'em, it's up to you!

[quote] Keebler is packaged puke.

Oh shit, they’re on to us!

They're especially good with bean dip

I don’t like chips. They fall in my bra.

[quote] Tate’s is great. These aren’t bad, either. Mrs. Fields have always tastes like they add alcohol to the mix. Anyone else taste that? I’ll have to try to the Benton’s from ALDI [R56] mentioned.

Thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies are an utter abomination.

[quote] OTIS SPUNKMEYER ONLY. —They served these in schools until Michelle came along

Kids not being to access enough fat and sugar is a huge problem! Without it they might actually grow into fully functioning adults.

R102- D'Agostino's in NYC used to sell Presidents Choice cookies. I liked them.

[quote] Kids not being to access enough fat and sugar is a huge problem!

So is poor grammar.

[quote] Chips Ahoy has too many ingredients I don't like.

CA, and most likely many other cookie brands, contain partially hydrogenated oil, which is one of the most unhealthy food ingredients there is. The FDA has even declared it unsafe for use in human food.

I love them with vanilla ice cream.

R107 Not R101, but thought it was widely understood they're premium products personally sourced and selected by the President of Loblaws, the grocery chain.

I don't really want to waste calories on Chips Ahoy, though Oreos have a certain charm.

What I do these days is go to costco and buy a box of their frozen CCCs. (the same ones they have in the clam shells in the bakery). Then I can just put one or two in the toaster oven and have some fresh baked cookies. They're not the same as homemade (not buttery) but they're better than anything else and at under 20c/cookie are crazy cheap.

For all the Tate's detractors, I'll say two things: 1.Tate's are most certainly better by far than Chips Ahoy. There's no comparison really. Simply compare ingredients. 2. I also don't select or dismiss products based on packaging alone. They're fucking cookies afterall, how do you expect them to be packaged?

They need to go back to cooking them in lard or beef tallow instead of vegetable oil.

Mrs fields milk chocolate walnut years ago was great

[quote] Kids not being to access enough fat and sugar is a huge problem!

[quote] So is poor grammar.

Relax Mary. Its merely a typo. I omitted the word able.

I like Chewy Nips Ahoy ....

Never heard of this Taint cookie.

Chips ahoy cookies aren’t delicious enough to be worth the calories. However, I will happily stuff myself on homemade chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven when I have the opportunity.

Nestle used to sell tollhouse cookie dry mix with chips that you added eggs & butter too. It was so much better than the frozen kind they sell now.

I was at a bachelor party once where they served Chips Ahoy and Busch beer.

R124, welcome to Datalounge.

Did you miss the “pointless bitchery” sign above the door on your way in?

Did you?

Whomever recommended the Tate’s upthread thank you...I got the walnut ones at Winco foods...deeeelectable!

Tate's are by far the better cookie brand, but even I've noticed a dip in taste and quality in their chocolate chip cookies. The last bag I bought, a few weeks ago, tasted different - cheaper? Not as buttery or sweet.

Trump and his minions no doubt eat the ahoys

I’m having Keebler cookies tonight.

[quote]Thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies are an utter abomination.

Why lie?

"Whomever recommended the Tate’s...."

Oh, dear!

R133 Trump likes Vienna Fingers. Also Oreos. He has taste in his arse.

I love the “oh dear” folk(s)

[quote] Why lie?

Thin and flat chocolate chip cookies used to = a baking error.

[quote] I love the “oh dear” folk(s)

Said no one EVER . . .

I hate “soft” mass produced cookies. They’re just puffed up with gelatin, not “fresh baked” or whatever you’re thinking.

The election makes me want to stress eat. But I won't stoop to Chips Ahoy. Those are for Trump supporters.

I'm going to guess it's a nostalgia thing OP. I'm an immigrant and after seeing commercials for them years ago I was excited to try them, and they're bloody awful.

They’ve probably been cutting corners on the ingredients since you were a kid.

The nostalgia is real with these. They either used to be much better or we didn't know any better.

This made me lol when I read it last night. In the midst of mayhem in the executive branch, DL goes on as usual. Thanks OP.

R146, DL is one of the few sites I can go to get away from all the election-induced stress. (I just skip over the posts I know will make me anxious about the outcome.) So bring on the cookie debates, the naked hot guys analysis, the "dead celebrities who aren't really dead but in hiding" posts, etc.

[quote] the "dead celebrities who aren't really dead but in hiding" posts,

That’s just stupid. Everyone knows there’s no such thing.

Well, except for Elvis. I mean, we ALL know he’s on that island. But other than that, it’s just silly.

I thought that Amelia Earhart would have come out of hiding by this time, now that she's 123 years old.

I liked Chips Ahoy when I was a teenager. So stupid because my mom made homemade cookies (incl. chocolate chip) that were so much better. The novelty of Chips Ahoy was appealing to me. I also remember being fascinated by the Kraft single slices of cheese wrapped in cellophane (neighbor's house). You guys can laugh, but I didn't grow up with that kind of stuff and thought it was interesting.

Nah, r149. She’s doing the right thing.

The Airplane Industrial Complex is still after her. She’s smart.

R151 thank you for

[quote]The Airplane Industrial Complex is still after her. She’s smart.

I literally, yes literally LOLd

Trump eats the ahoys by the case in one election waiting for results day

[quote]Now Oreos come in all these atrocious flavors

Came here to recommend Carrot Cake Oreos (over the sawdust and sugar concoction known as Chips Ahoy). I sprinkle garlic powder on the cream centers.

I used to like Tate's, but now they taste overprocessed like Chips Ahoy- no bueno!

Weird coincidence. I started following this thread yesterday, and today when I went to my local grocery store, there was this huge promotional display for Chips Ahoy! Are October/November Chips Ahoy months??

Chips Ahoy cookies are NOT vegan R94. Your friend reminds me of vegetarians who cheat with bacon and hot dogs.

Amen R141. Have you ever looked at the center of those after taking a bite? It is a disgusting gelatinous mess that doesn't even look like food. Yuck!!

They’re onto you, r155!

They know you read Datalounge and have infiltrated!!

I make cookies fairly regularly - I think because I've done it so often it isn't difficult. Having a Kitchen Aid Mixmaster and double wall ovens is a big help.

R158, crap. I had better hide (my stash of Chips Ahoy). :)

The Washington Post ranks Chips Ahoy #3 in a taste test.

It's okay. What I don't like is soft cookie, it is gross.

Believe it or not, OP, there are millions of people out here in Amurica, who don't shop at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. They go to their local supermarket and buy Chip Ahoy, and boxed cereals loaded with sugar, and processed cheese slices and white bread, and frozen pizzas and hot pockets, and huge bags of Doritos and BBQ Potato Chips and gallons of soda and sweetened "energy " drinks. They barely have a passing acquaintance with green vegetables and don't know what fibre is. These people love Chip Ahoy. They love pop tarts too.

"Party Size!" = single serving

As if Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are the only places that sell fruits and vegetables. Both sell just as much processed junk as any other grocery store. And the processed junk is actually what Datalounge's Trader Joe's fans rave about. If you ask me Trader Joes is horribly over rated. Americans are eating a lot of junk and getting fatter, regardless of where they shop.

I've wanted to make this topic about Chips Ahoy FOR YEARS and never got around it. They're fucking horrible! Even by grocery store cookie standards they're bad. Bland, flavorless, dull texture and nothing even remotely resembling something homemade.

I remember the stories on these boards about how (the equally bad) Famous Amos cookies tasted better at one point before the recipes was cheapened & changed several times. Eldergays, did Chips Ahoy taste different/better at one point as well?

u nuts theyr goooood

Lately, I've chanced upon the CVS generic "Gold Emblem" brand's packaged small chewy/soft chocolate chip cookies. Yes, when you roll back the opening they kind of smell like horseshit, but actually they taste pretty good and are just enough of a bake-y and chocolately treat especially on a cold winter night. I detest Chips Overboard and their thin, hard, sharp, explosively splintering and dry chip cookies!

[quote] Lately, I've chanced upon the CVS generic "Gold Emblem" brand's packaged small chewy/soft chocolate chip cookies. Yes, when you roll back the opening they kind of smell like horseshit, but

After you've explained that they smell like horseshit. Most people probably tune out.

[quote] They are absolute flavorless shit! S-H-I-T!

Put it in the toilet, OP!
