Skinny Cow/Slim Cow
must have been the blue bunny I was thinking of, even better to eat the
skinny cows, Lee Laura wrote in message ... Our box of fudge bars and bulk Cookies and Cream both say no fat with sugar and corn syrup. No splenda or other artificial sweetener. "Lesanne" wrote in message ... I pretty much recall that skinny cow is sugar sweetened, while the blue bunny snacks, are splenda. "Miss Violette" wrote in message ... 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 memory Fred wrote in message ... 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.

Ah, but you see, I live in Canada. Costco (or anything else for that matter)
isn't quite as affordable here. Well, health care is, but that's for another message board. In short, most things are more expensive here. Try 85 cents a litre for gas...and people wonder why I don't have a car... It was actually 18 sandwiches for $12.89, not 15. We tried another one tonight, and the sandwich part isn't really chocolatey - I don't think I'd identify it as chocolate if I couldn't see it was brown. They're not bad, but not something I'm going to rave about. KD "Fred" wrote in message ... I thought that I paid something like $10.00 for 18 skinny cows at Costco two weeks ago????

SlimWiches?
I found Healthy Choice caramel ice cream sandwiches at my Costco
(Winnipeg). The cookie part is vanilla, not chocolate. There's 16 in the package, and I can't find the bill but seem to recall they were in the same general price range as the Cows. They work out to 3 points each, and I have to say that I think I like them better. Amberle3 KD wrote: Ah, but you see, I live in Canada.
