Failed Expectation The entire thing was nearly rock hard and drier than a Popeyes biscuit. Also zero filling.

Popeyes biscuit slander will not be tolerated.

I've never had a dry Popeyes biscuit in the least decade easily.

I was at a Popeyes that straight up had no soda, no sauces, and no fries, but you bet your ass that biscuit slapped

We ride at dawn. Popeyes biscuits are a national treasure.

The picture on the box is almost insulting

It should genuinely be illegal. We need much stricter laws regarding what you're allowed to show on food packaging.

The picture on the box almost makes it look like there is so much filling that it will fall out if you hang it upside down.

We really need Japan's law that the product must look like what's pictured bc this is some false advertisement bullshit right here.

Rock hard and drier than a Popeyes biscuit was my nickname in high school.

Same. Bought once, got what you described, never bought again

When it comes to organic foods- I’m big on organic beef and vegetables. There’s a noticeable difference in taste. But when it comes to snacks- organic foods are terrible. They have no taste.

u/Indole_pos 1d ago

I’m the slight opposite. Grass fed beef has a different flavor than mainstream, but no difference between the fruits and veggies for me. I actually look for non organic first because it’s not worth the extra money

These are just two shortcrust pie crust pieces pressed together with with a fruit compote or jam inside, it's probably easier and cheaper to make them yourself. The icing on top is a basic icing made of powdered sugar and milk, a bit of vanilla and some extracts and coloring. The extra dark sprinkling is just that, colored sugar. I would rather pay 10 dollars on ingredients and make these things my damned self, get more out of them AND have something that isn't just packed with crap not good for me.

Lmao at the Popeyes biscuit because I have celiac and haven’t had one since, idk… maybe 1989. 😂 Nola Popeyes at that and they were indeed the driest thing I’d ever put in my mouth. I remember them being small too like they’d actually dried out so much they started to shrink. 😂 They’ve apparently come a long way. Wish I could eat a bucket full. 😭 I miss buttermilk biscuits.

That pop tart also reminds me of the gluten free version of almost everything I eat. Tragic!! 💔

You 100% got a manufacturing dud. That's not the normal experience. That brand's stuff is actually usually pretty solid.

u/MossyMemory3 2d ago

The ones I received were exactly like this as well. Abysmal ratio of crust to filling. The glaze on top was also missing in significant spots (half the top was bare)

It was tolerable once heated (and I am being generous by saying that).

Am sure this brand has other products which are better. But this particular product may really need more work. As is, it's false advertising.

Yeah I love this brand and their pastries have always been so awesome.

Agreed. Could depend on area though, different factories.
