They Were Just Sort of Meh

Have you ever had a sudden, deep craving for something, and then you eat it and find yourself not all that impressed with it?
"Well, that wasn't the excitement I thought I'd get out of it."
That happened to me last night when the package of chewy chocolate chip cookies I bought was opened and I mowed down five of them, fully expecting to be elated and euphoric, especially considering I have not had a chocolate chip cookie in ages.
It was just okay. Nothing to write home about. "Meh," kind of comes to mind.
I'll not waste what's in the package of course, but they may last considerably longer than I thought they would, and I probably won't buy them again.

That can definitely happen... But I'm sorry it happened in that case.
Pretty started buying the "home baked" chocolate chip cookies from the Walmart bakery and we both love them... You might give them a try... They're more expensive than I'd like them to be but we don't buy them often so it's okay.

Those Walmart 'home baked" chocolate chip cookies are good! I usually buy them when I know I'm having company or the grandkids are going to be around. I don't buy them too often cause I'd eat them all myself

I mentioned this in another comment the Pillsbury frozen chocolate chip cookie dough makes some of the bet cookies, Those in packages can be standing around for a while,

Yup that's happened to me too. Dying for something and then it turns out to be disappointing.

Where’s the picture of the cookies? I wanna see them. Oh wait! You did share a pic of the package in your other discussion.
I prefer when chocolate chip cookies are chewy as opposed to crunchy. Sucks yours weren’t good.

This happens to me quite often than not these days because stuff simply is not as good as it was in years and decades gone by.
The 60,s and 70,ss were the best and since then it's been a decline and it's not nice.

@Ineeddentures On some things, sure. But I used to hate Brussels sprouts and now I love them, and I don't think they did anything to Brussels sprouts. lol

@porwest Many years ago I ate a whole package of chocolate chip cookies. I was very sick afterwards. I learned a hard lesson.

@LindaOHio I have done something similar a few times in my life. Never a good thing. I remember once, when I worked at a company called Quad Graphics, in the lunchroom you could order food by the pound. I REALLY like sausage links slathered with syrup and so I ordered a bunch of them and mowed down.
I felt very ill after that. lol
