How the taste and shape of the popular Perestroika cookies changed. I show you how it looks now and tell you whether it is worth buying.
I remember wagon wheels cookies well from childhood. These were cookies with a souffle filling, covered with chocolate icing. Aunt Luda, my father's sister who lived in Finland, brought them to me.
The cookies were incredibly tasty, and I always looked forward to the next visit of my aunt to visit us. When the perestroika happened in the country, these cookies appeared in our stores and were very popular among young people. And then it suddenly disappeared. But recently I met him at the store.
True, these were no longer my usual chocolate-coated cakes, but ordinary cookies with pieces of chocolate chips. The price was not high, only 80 rubles for a pack of 136 grams. And the price for 1 kg was 587.5 rubles. I always recalculate the price per kilogram, so it's easier to compare. Let's show you what the packaging looks like.
The biscuits are packaged as simply as possible. In addition to the name and logo of the brand, there is also a composition in different languages, but I'll tell you about it at the end. It's time to open the package.
I bought 2 packs of cookies, one with chocolate chips and hazelnut chunks, the other just with chocolate chips. The packages are no different except for the color.
Inside the cookie lies without an additional tray, which may cause the cookies to crumble during transportation. But I got the whole. By the way, I still don't see the difference between the 2 varieties. Perhaps it tastes. Time to try it.
The taste of both species is almost the same. In my opinion, the situation with hazelnuts is even worse, because the “cat cried” here, and they put obviously less chocolate. In general, both types of cookies do not represent anything special in terms of taste. The most common shortbread cookie with chocolate chips. I wonder what his composition is?
The composition of the cookies, as I expected, is not the best. Instead of butter for shortcrust pastry and cocoa butter for chocolate, they use palm oils. The manufacturer clearly tried to save on raw materials. It's time to take stock.
These cookies have nothing to do with those chocolate-coated cookies. It seems that the manufacturer simply decided to make money from the promoted brand and released an ordinary, unremarkable product. It's a pity, I used to love this brand very much, but now I will not buy such cookies for the second time.
