Skinny Cow/Slim Cow

Thanks for the reply Richard. They do sound yummy...but do these have sugar
in them, or some artificial material? I'm not a fan of artificial
sweeteners, would rather go without ice cream than but the variety that has
that stuff in it.

I wish someone would develop a fat free yogurt that simply has less sugar in
it, rather than replacing all of it with aspertame. Yoplait, are you
listening???

Yes. Here in Maryland, USA I pay about $5 for 6 unless they are on
sale. Then I load up. Go to the Skinny Cow website and order free
cents off coupons. ($.50). I've done it 3 times.

Right now I'm addicted to the fudge bar. YUMMMMMMMM

Coupons are not available in Canda.

I think, UNFORTUNATELY, that they are TERRIFIC (G)

They do not taste artificial from my perspective. Like Richard, they
are generally about $5.00 (US) for 6 sandwiches and they are on sale
occasionally. Last week, $3.50.

I tried one of the other brands that used, I think, Splenda and did
not like them at all, it might have been Klondike??? It did have an
aftertaste.

Oh, Costco had an 18 pack (3 packages of 6 items) for around $9.00
(US) Chocolate and Vanilla

I did not find actual ingredients but may have missed them but they do
have nutritional info.

I left 'em there and got fudgesicles instead.

So tell the truth folks - are they really worth it? My husband really likes
ice cream sandwiches, so he'd probably like those. But over $1 each, yikes!
I might try Costco and see if I can get a better deal there...

Personally, I think they are very well worth every penny. Here in the states, I
pay somewhere around $5 for a package of 6 sandwiches. Sometimes they are on
sale, buy one get one free or for $3.50 ... this is usually when I stock up. I've
tried several other brands. All are similar, but none are as good as the skinny
cow brand. Everyone in my family loves them, hub, and even the teenagers.

Fred has been able to find them in his Costco, yet mine doesn't carry them. We
only have the healthy choice brand sandwiches ... which definitely taste like
artificial sweetener.

The Klondike contain spenda - right?

The Skinny cow do NOT but contain various sugars according to the
label I just looked at, I believe.

I might be wrong but the ingredients you are reading are in fact splenda, I
can reask DH but the splendia is a brand name of the product that is I think
sucrolose SP that is splendia, like nutrasweet is the brand name for
aspertaine sp? I might be wrong but don't think so, Lee

Have him read the label again. I just dragged my stiff body
downstairs and read the very fine print in good light and did not see
sucrolose (sucralose?). I did see cellulose twice, fructose corn
syrup and sugar listed. This was the mint sandwiches.

I can't help with the Skinny Cow ingredients, but I can help with the
translations. Splenda equals Sucralose. Nutrasweet equals aspartame.

I will ask him to look at the grocery tonight or tomorrow and get back to
you, we don't have any in the house right now, I don't get them very often,
truth is when we do get them I eat a couple and he eats the rest as I lose
interest fast enough they would get freezer burnt if it were up to me to
finish them off. Lee, making note to self... and wondering about here
