I have been purchasing ginger snaps for many years, today(9/22/15) and the packaging had changed. I compared the new cookies to my older package which I still had a few left in the box. I color is very different about 3 shades lighter, and when I tasted the I could not even taste the ginger, the new ones are almost tasteless. I have a scan attached showing the new and old cookie together.
I grew up these Ginger Snap Cookies. I am now 67 years old. I quit buying them as I couldn't afford nearly $5.00 a box. But I decided to splurge and get a box. What a disappointment. The taste is nasty they taste moldy. There are no cravices on the tops. They are too light in color. They are over all nasty to eat, and look at. I will never purchase them again. I was so excited and I couldn't wait for what I remembered eating. BOY WHAT A LET DOWN! IF IT ISN'T BROKE DON'T TRY TO FIX IT! YOU RUINED IT! I only ate one and THREW the rest in the trash!
I agree with all the comments above ref Ginger snap. Please change the recipe back to what it used to be. I will be returning the box that I purchased and won't be buying this again unless I know it's the old recipe...so disappointing!😒
I am also very disappointed. The old recipe was softer - just the right consistency to have a little crunch, but also soft cookie. I just sold my daughter on buying them because she tried the old formula and loved them too. Now I try these hard, small, cookies with no molasses flavor and want to cry. Did you think we wouldn't notice? Please change them back to the original!
I’m 64 years old, and grew up with ginger snaps. They were my favorite cookie especially with milk. These new ones are horrible. They’re thin with zero flavor may as well eat a piece of cardboard. I’m not even sure there’s ginger in it anymore. The company should be ashamed of themselves for trying to pass them off as GINGER SNAPS.
I had been a long time fan of ginger snaps. This new recipe is terrible! I hereby pledge to give up ALL Nabisco products, NabDOGbiscuit!
I had been a longtime ginger snaps lover; NO MORE! These are terrible, and they didn't even have the decency to advise of the new recipe on the box. I hereby pledge to never buy a Nabisco product again.
Wow... Finally I saw my favorite Nabisco Ginger Snaps back on the shelves... Immediately I noticed that the "Made with Real Ginger and Molasses" highlight was changed to just ginger... and then - when I opened them - I saw a light colored benign cardboard looking disc that looked like a cardboard disc with FAKE stamped in lines to try to give the illusion of wrinkly cookie appearance. Tastes like cardboard too... NO MORE NABISCO. STOUFFERS Ginger Snaps are now TOPS - at best price and best taste... You screwed up such a good thing Nabisco... I used to think Buy-Buy... Now it will be Bye-Bye Nabisco Fake Ginger cardboard discs... Seriously - You stamp in lines trying to fool your customers... Think we're dumb... We now know you are...
What a hideous disappointment! These taste more like animal crackers than anything else. Where is the molasses flavor? Where is the biting ginger flavor? I'm a diabetic and I have to carefully choose what carbs I eat. Ginger Snaps USED to be a cookie I would 'splurge' on. No more. No buy!
i agree! i just finally was able to find a box of the nabisco brand and was disappointed in what i found in the box, they are NOT THE SAME! the Great Value ones at walmart taste like the old nabisco ones, but my only trouble with them is that they have a lot of broken ones in the box.
Seriously... imprinting squiggly marks on the top of Giner Snaps to make them appear to like real ginger snaps... Nabisco now makes what taste like cardboard discs with fake lines on the top... Reminds me of the Chicken people painting 'Grill Marks' on chicken they tried to sell a 'Grilled'... In a time of FAKE... Nabisco takes the Cookies when it comes to the latest Ginger Snaps... I guess there's a reason Nabisco doesn't say made with Real Molasses on the package anymore... Printing in fake lines on your cookies is a major insult to your Customers... Your previous Customers... It used to be Buy-Buy Nabisco... Now it's Bye-Bye Nabisco.
I’ve agreed! I’ve been eating Nabisco Ginger Snaps and there was serious recall, to very highly levels of certain products that very unhealthy to consume! I finally saw 2 BOXES ON RALPHS GROCERY STORE SHELF and got so happy I was finally able to find them.. To much surprise they Taste LIKE GARBAGE, very (light in color) and taste like PURE SUGAR! Absolutely NO GINGER TASTE! When call this new corrupt Company that bought Nabisco Products DON’T ANSWER ANY OF THEIR LINES IN CALIFORNIA OR ANY OTHER STATE LISTED FOR A CONTACT!
SHAME ON NABISCO FOR DROPPING THE BALL AND SELLING PRODUCTS TO THIS INCOMPETENT, CRIPPLED AND CORRUPT COMPANY! NASTIEST COOKIES I’VE EVER TASTED, THEY TASTE LIKE LIGHT LIGHT BROWN PURE SUGAR BRICKS!
I agree, so disappointed. Not buying them again.
Yep, same for me. How could they change them to be so terrible! Molasses is now way down on the list of ingredients below corn syrup, so they now taste just like any other sweet tasteless hard cookie, with a little more spice in it. They have no real flavor at all. They cost me $6.25 today in a nearby store, which I paid, expecting and wanting those great dark ginger snaps, that had stayed fairly consistent and good for decades. Like so many products now, that someone who was hired and had to find a job to do, fixed something that was never broken. Now Ginger snaps are on the list of something that I loved in the past but which don't exist any more, and I will never buy your Nabisco phony ginger snaps again. They awful.
I agree. Ginger Snaps were my favorite cookie - I've been eating them since the 1950s. Just tried a box for over $5.00 and got hard, tasteless, cheap-tasting cookies with squiggles stamped on the tops. Disgraceful! Nabisco, you should be ashamed. You lost another lifetime customer, hope you're happy with your deceit.
COMPLETELY AGREE! just bought a bbox and they are AWFUL! No ginger taste, pale. white in color, super sugary, NOTHING like the original. SHAME on Nabisco/ Mondalez. Will not be buying again
Who are these people who like to complain so much that they ccpy the complaints of lots of other people? I have used Nabisco Ginger Snaps for years and I find that the complaints of these beggars don't hold water. Until a couple months ago I have continued to find them on the shelf in my grocery stores. Suddenly they are gone and I can not find a single person with enough spine to speak up to why this happened. I am disgusted with this garbage. SPEAK UP SOMEONE. i SUSPECT THIS IS A PLAN BY BUSINESSES TO INCREASE THE PRICE SO THEY CAN REAP A GREATER PROFIT WHEN THE PUBLIC DEMANDS THAT THEY RETURN TO AVAILABILITY!
Keebler ginger snaps have new packaging. They still taste ok but every time I eat them I get sick with extreme diarrhea. I've eliminated every other possible cause. I've gotten rid of all illness thinking it was a one-off, then ate a few ginger snaps, and bam! I'm back in the bathroom with cramps and diarrhea. I'm concerned that something is wrong with the cookies.
I totally agree had a taste for some good old fashion ginger snap cookies from Nabisco and was TOTALLY let down. I had to go back and look at the box and the words "Old Fashion" was no longer printed on the box. This would be my last purchased. Bye Nabisco Ginger Snaps
Thanks for changing the recipe for ginger snaps! A good old fashion cookie that no longer exist!
Please don't waste your money purchasing these cookies, you will be disappointed.
I was very disappointed with the new ginger snap cookies they have no taste of ginger and I will not be buying anymore of those cookies. I will make my own ginger cookies. Nabisco hank for no tasting ginger cookies.
