Rip Van Chocolate Hazelnut Wafer Cookies, Keto, Non-GMO, Healthy Snacks, Low Carb & Low Sugar (2g), Low Calorie, Vegan, 16 Count

I am really struggling as to what to rate these RIP VAN KETO WAFERS. On one hand I could give a 5 star because they were really good. Amazing taste if you want a low carb, low sugar snack after a meal or whatnot. On the other hand, I could rate them a 1 star due to the fact that I am only 53 years old, and I soiled my shorts 3 times because of these delicious wafers. I ordered vanilla and lemon. As a kid my mom always bought the pink, yellow and chocolate wafer cookies. I love them but they are all sugar. So, I was so happy when I saw these. They arrived quickly and in good condition and honestly the price was great compared to some other keto snacks I looked at. The first day they arrived I could not wait to have my wafer cookie after supper. I opted for the vanilla wafer, and it tasted so good! Finally, a snack that is low in sugar and tastes great! I work in an office with a lot of people. So, the next day off to work I went. I had no pain or discomfort, but I noticed that I could not take two steps without letting out some gas. No big deal. I got to work, and it got worse. If I moved I farted. They were becoming more frequent, louder and the stench was so bad people started to ask if a sewer line was backed up. There was a sewer line backed up. Mine. It was getting so bad that I could not make it to the copy machine. So, I sat. And sat. And sat until the big hand hit 12 and the little hand hit 5. I waited until most people cleared out and began to walk to me car. Again, I had no pain and no discomfort I was just a gas blowing machine with no end in sight. As the second shift came to work and walked through the office before I left I could hear everyone say, “What is that smell.” It was rotten to the core and the sad part is it was me. When I hit the outside air I finally realized how rotten the stench was because that fresh air never felt so good. So, another day at the office and I have had bad gas before, so I had not yet pinned it down to the RIP wafers. So, on day two after supper, I broke into the lemon. They tasted more amazing than the vanilla, so I had two. Little did I know my life was about to change the next day. My stomach hurt a little bit but nothing terrible. In the morning I had to go to the bathroom twice before I showered. I felt better so I showered and off to work I went. I park aways away from the door because it is fall and the mornings are crisp, and the walk is good. I got out of my vehicle and was halfway across the parking lot to the door and I had a weird sensation. I had just filled my pants. There was no warning. No pregame. Nothing. I just kept walking to the front door trying to think of my next move. I reached to my backside to check, and it felt like a baseball in my shorts. I went straight to the restroom and got the large stall. I cleaned and wiped and then buried my underwear in the bottom of the trash. Whew. All good. I work in a large facility. So, I started to walk to my desk, and it hit me again like a punch from Mike Tyson. I filled my pants again but this time I had no underwear on. I sat at my cubicle, and I was in shock. My pants were full, and I was scared to get up. What if it falls out of my pantleg? So, I sat on that cow patty until lunch. I made it out safely and got home to once again clean up and put on new clothes. I felt good. I crapped my pants twice, but I felt good, and I never miss work, so I went back. I finished the day, went home, and had supper and yep you guessed it. I had a wafer after supper. Thank goodness the weekend was here. Saturday came and I got up early to run to the gas station and then I was going to go to the carwash. I made it to the gas station and went inside to pay and grab a few items. As I walked to the register it happened again. I stood there and the cashier said, “sir are you okay?” I just stood there and looked at her and said yes I will be fine, but I am going to leave these items here because I need to deal with an emergency. As I drove home I thought what has changed. The light bulb went on and I thought could it be those tasty little wafers. I consumed a large amount of water to clean my guts out. After the third filling of my pants, I knew it was them. I threw them in the trash. The gas continued for the weekend but by Monday I felt good and normal. I lost about 5 pounds so that was a good thing too. So, you decide for yourself. You can lose weight and detox your system. I would advise you to stay home while you do so. Nobody was hurt and nobody knew I was the broken sewer line at work. RIP wafers. I shall never come near you again. I will give them a five. Maybe it was just my system, and you might be able to eat them freely without the hell I dealt with. Best wishes.

These are delicious wafers with various sweet fillings. The first ones I bought were chocolate hazelnut, which reminded me of wafers with chocolate hazelnut filling that I used to eat as a student, but without the sugar.I bought the first box as a snack for travelling, both for myself and others, and everyone loved them. The next flavour I tried were dark chocolate, because they were offered at a lower price than chocolate hazelnut, and they were a hit too.The chocolate hazelnut wafers are closest to my old standby as a student, but the ones I bought then were only offered in either chocolate hazelnut or chocolate. I’ve always loved vanilla, so when I saw these were offered in vanilla, I couldn’t resist ordering some. I wasn’t disappointed. It’s nice to have variety, but if I had to choose only one flavour, of the ones I’ve tried, I think I’d go with vanilla. The chocolate raspberry, however, sound tempting too.One of the best features of these wafers is the low sugar, with stevia used for sweetening, along with sugar beet and corn fibre to add the sort of bulk that sugar would have. In contrast to sugar alcohols, which have dubious nutritional properties and can even be dangerous, the fibre in these wafers is real fibre, with all of the health benefits.Some people dislike stevia, claiming it has a bitter taste, but I’ve never experienced any bitterness with stevia, and certainly not with these wafers, so it must vary from person to person. Those who like stevia will probably like these. The wafers are high in fibre, which can cause digestive discomfort for people who typically eat a low-fibre diet, but for those who eat a healthy diet with the recommended intake of fibre, these should be fine. I eat a high-fibre diet, and I don’t notice any discomfort after eating these.The size of the wafer is perfect for a snack, and they hold up well. I haven’t run into any problems with crushed or broken wafers. The packaging box probably helps, but the wafers themselves don’t break easily. They’re good value for money too, especially given the absence of sugar and the fact that they’re suitable for vegans.All in all, I can highly recommend these wafers, especially but not only for those looking to reduce dietary sugar and vegans. The only exceptions would be people who dislike stevia as a sweetener or aren’t used to eating high-fibre foods.

I’m on a weight loss journey and the hardest thing is ignoring my sweet tooth. I ordered these wafer bars as a healthier snack for those moments where I need chocolate, they are low in sugar which is great and at 120 calories, they have the same amount of calories as a slice of bread.The wafers are NOT sweet but rather a peanut butter snack with dark chocolate, they are good for people who prefer a more nutty or salty snack or people like me, who want a little treat but don’t want all that sugar. With that being said, I really enjoy these little wafer bars, they have a good amount of fiber in them and they hit the spot when I crave a snack, I actually only have 4 left and received them last week, I can’t stay away from them.The only drawback is, that they are rather small and at $1.70 (including tax) per bar, I’m better off buying a chocolatey, gooey, caramel protein bar that has a lot of protein, not much sugar but tastes like a true snickers bar. If I saw this wafer at the store for 80 cents I’d go for it but at close to $2 per bar I probably won’t choose these but reach for a big bar that is more filling.
