I worked in a private label food manufacturing facility. At the lower end stores, your Dollar Trees, etc. you are gonna find they are the same basic cookie. Perhaps a few very minor tweaks to the recipe or sometimes no tweaks. The cookie is mixed and baked and the only thing changing is the film to wrap the cookies and/or the box (Basically, just the packaging is different). The more expensive ones, Great Value, Kroger, etc) you will find they are very much like the name brand. A team of food scientists spent time and money reverse-engineering the recipe after countless lab tests and taste tests. You will get higher quality chocolate/real chocolate (watch out for the phrase - chocolate-flavored - that means there is not enough actual chocolate to advertise it as a such) better vanilla, etc. The recipes may also have more tweaks to make them slightly more individualized for the customer without getting too far from the name brand flavor. They are basically the name brand without the price. Why are they cheaper? Because you are paying for the advertising for the name brand. Remember, someone has to pay the person who animates the elves. When was the last time you saw a commercial just for a Great Value cookie? Never! The cookie may make an appearance in a commercial for Wal-Mart but it is not a commercial for the cookie. Wal-Mart advertises its stores as a total entity.

@@skeetsmcgrew3282 There are some items that are that way. Either the food scientist couldn't get a near-perfect emulation without specialized equipment or they couldn't determine a way to make it at a cost they can significantly reduce. Some name brand companies will take a loss on the manufacturing cost of an item because it is considered a brand draw. Like, customers like that product so much they buy other products by the same company based on that one item. The cost/benefit analysis keeps the costly item on the shelf.

The generics that seemed like it are probably indeed the exact same thing, just with different packaging! Outsourcing the product to a third-party producer is one of the ways they're able to save costs on generic goods, so a lot of the times factories will do a run for one brand and simply change the packaging/labeling for the same product for another brand immediately thereafter. If the info of where they're sourced from is available on the packaging (in Europe, you get at least the corporate location), you might find that the production company is the same!

23:00 Toffee-tastic is the only girl scout cookie I buy because it's the only gluten free one I like. Glad you like them too!

I just tried Do-Si-dos for the first time this Girl Scout season and I was surprised to find they are essentially expensive Nutter Butters. Lol! Also, Keebler's "Grasshoppers" are a fairly good Thin Mint replacement. Those cookies are also bigger in size than regular Thin Mints. EDIT: Ah, the grasshoppers!

Emmy, I can’t even tellllll you the disappointment I felt when I bit into one of those thin mint style cookies from The Dollar Tree. Cursed day. Also Shaw’s is Safeway/Von’s on the west coast, I’ve lived that signature select life 😂

So the knockoffs have decided that the ABC brand is the definitive cookie. Tagalongs will still forever be my favorite!
@aoneal06034 жыл бұрын
I think it’s important to note she bought the knock off in her local area which is the ABC area. I can attest that the knockoffs in my local stores are similar to LBB. I find that very Interesting.

I have NEVER seen those Teal Toffee Tastic ones before, I love the idea of that!! My faves were an older Lemon one called "Lemon Chateaus" which was a sandwich cookie with Lemon Cream! Very nice! Then there were uh... Lemon Smiles as well?? Miss those. Thanks for sharing!!

I have this question when I watch Emmy taste test. Clearly she can’t eat all the cookies before they go stale ,so my question is ,does she pressure seal them into bags so not to waste food or does she give the excess away to family and friends ? I’d love to know. I do love Emmy so no crappola in the comments please .i am just curious xo

That is a whole lot of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!!😀😯 The Peanut Butter cookies I would not eat because I am allergic to nuts and peanut butter🤮😖. All the rest of the the other cookies, however, I would have my turn to try them myself. And anyways, I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!!😍😀

Was in girl scouts all my life in the mid west and lemonades are my favorite cookie but LBB did them dirty, imo

I grew up in Las Vegas and moved to Michigan when I was 21....Im now 38 and I spent my WHOLE life thinking "peanut butter pattys" was something I made up in my head because where I am located they are called "tagalongs" and taste COMPLETELY different. OOOOMMMGGGG......THANK YOU FOR SOLVING THIS RIDDLE! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

We only have two varieties in Ontario Canada and they’re sold at different times of the year, fall and spring. We have the chocolate mint which I believe is made by Christie and a duo pack of an Oreo style in chocolate and vanilla. My granddaughters sell them and they go fast!
