Cookie Crisp now in Canada!

[Dash]

Today is a new day for all those that used to stock up on Cookie Crisp when they went to the states. My friend just told me they got a shipment of Cookie Crisp at Costco (here in the GTA at least. I'm not sure about anywhere else).

I'm really not much of a sugary cereal guy myself. I always preferred Rice Crispy, Corn Flakes, and no Kashi cereal. but Cookie Crisp is the one exception to the rule. It's like dessert for me.

The bulk size box is only $7.50. Keep an eye out for it to be on the Costco floor soon.

[M-e-X-x]

Man almost forgot what that was!

[CanadianMike]

thanks for the heads up....i hope it makes an appearance. ive wanted to try this out for years, always run into it on american network commercials.

[originalnutta]

I used to just mush up chocolate cookies in milk, before even seeing Cookie Crisp in Buffalo.

Somehow, i still think their version is unhealthier.

[girlstar]

lol i remember the commercial from when I was a kid..."Coooookie Crisp"

[XxXSnake23XxX]

they need the "oreo" cereal here

[openheart]

That sounds delicious, but I refuse to dish out 8 bucks for a cereal box.

[duckdown]

I never liked this as much as other people... Why couldn't it be something better like crunchberries or frankenberry

[sg2386]

for all those who haven't tried it, I thought the same thing. like I said in my OP, I've never been one for sugary cereals, and the thought of little cookies was not appealing. but then some friends and I went to the states, and they all grabbed a couple of boxes. I figured I'd grab one just for the hell of it, because they didn't have it in canada. Got back home, poured me some milk, and found it to be a great little snack. I still wouldn't eat TONS of it, but I definitely had a craving for it every now and then.

anyways, it's always one of those things that show up when people talk about the things they have in the states, that you can't get in canada. Cookie Crisp, Apple Jacks, Yoo Hoo, etc...

I always looked forward to eating this when I visited my cousins in the US. After bringing a few boxes back to Canada I always had to be very stingy with my portions in order for each box to last the longest.

Those days are gone because Cookie Crisp is finally in Canada. :razz:

I hope they start playing the commercials!

The US has so much junky food compared to here!

I remember the cookie crisp commercials.
The cereal is a good snack.

But I like Cinnamon toast crunch better.

I wish you could still get Combos here, those pretzel things w cheeze inside.

But Canada has a lot of stuff the US does not have.

We have actual maple syrup- they only sell "table syrup" in most grocery stores.

We also have gatorade powder, never seen than in any US grocery.

And a lot of candy that the US does not havehere...

[-=Wraith=-]

but we've have these in canada before right?

I know I've had these (or something very very similar) like 15 years ago

[Psubs]

SOB, where was this 20 years ago?!?!? :evil:

I stopped eating cereal in highschool. Since we didn't have cookie crisp, I just ate cookies (and pastries) for breakfast.:razz:

[siR_jay_cee]

Told you. I wouldn't lie about Cookie Crisp. :D

[TheDarkRage]

What's the amount of sugar? Did they decrease it to abide by Canada Health standards?

[kellya]

I believe Ancaster Costco had it - I know I tried a sample of it somewhere last week and I think it was there. I wasn't a huge fan. However the Super Walmart in Ancaster also had Apple Jacks back - and that I bought :)

Finally!!! I'm going to stock up.

[john widow]

i want some.

[pnorris3]

Halifax Costco has some and I bought a box!

[dougmania]

why do they have to decrease it? They can just do what all the other cereal companies do, print out a lower serving size (just like potato chips). The serving sizes are getting really small. Check it out.

Okay, I confirm I saw it too at the Costco on Markham and 14th Ave. I had to go there to believe it! I was planning on buying it but backed out at last minute because it is just sooo much cereal! The cereal is pretty good but kind of over hyped imho.

I don't know. it's just a nice snack. like cookies and milk. I wouldn't eat them for breakfast myself. but during those times when I just want a quick something to tide myself over until my next meal, it hits the spot. I was pleasantly surprised myself at how much I would enjoy it.

[Cheap Cat]

Am I really old because I've never heard of this stuff? When did this stuff first come out?

you might be too young to tell you the truth. there used to be a slew of cereals in Canada that got discontinued here but not in the states.

examples are cookie crisp, apple jacks, fruity pebbles, count chocula, etc...

of course, now they've brought apple jacks and cookie crisp here again. I'm going to give apple jacks a try sometime. I hear good things.

[abstract808]

Saw this in Costco at Dundas/403 today...made me wish they would bring back Rocky Road...

You are so kind Dash but I am old compared to many of the youngsters here. According to wikipedia, it was introduced by Ralston Purina in 1977, and I would have been watching my Saturday morning cartoons back then. I do remember the other cereals that you mentioned. I just wasn't familiar with this one.

[Piro21]

It can't even have been that long ago that they were discontinued. I remember having all the cereals Dash mentioned at one point or another in the mid 90s. Fruity pebbles always sucked compared to froot loops, and cookie crisp always made me think they were taking sugary cereal too far, even when I was a kid.

EDIT: Damn I'm old...

[sg2386]

anyone seen this in stores other than Costco?

[duckdown]

sooooooooo... is this canadian version any good or what?

[klopsy]

I've found Cookie Crisp at Starsky's in Mississauga.. however it's a Polish import, so probably tastes different from the USA version.

[technogirl]

every.
single.
time,
I'd go to the States I'd load up on Cookie Crisp and Trix.
Because they are the best cereals ever.

[jayisthebest88]

apple jacks commercials made me feel warm and fuzzy inside...

I've been meaning to get some apple jacks. but I haven't been near a zellers in a while. next time I'm there, I'm going to grab a box and try it out.

Picked up some Applejack's a few weeks ago, meh it's not even close to as good as I remembered.

[wahyinghung]

After reading this post I am off to Costco again tomorrow :lol:

Yeah, it's disappointing.

[Flash3]

Bought a box at Costo (Hwy7/Woodbine). Its a box of 2 packs inside, for $7.39 I believe it was. So essentially you're getting 2 boxes. Need to by some milk before I can eat it though.
