macarons
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- It really is an amazing deal and they are super tasty.
- I make them professionally in a small bakery and we sell out of them each week, about 10s of dozens. They seem to be still relevant for us.
- Those are more like mini macarons. For frozen, those are very good. OP is right: price is excellent.
- This can’t be beat for taste and value.
Cons
- The trend lasted for quite a long time. They’re cute, especially the first picture here. But taste wise I often found them to be disappointing.
- Honestly I’ve never had a good one. They are usually too sweet with flavours so subtle I can’t really decipher anything special. There are probably good ones out there but for all the time they take I find them just meh
- I don't like the taste.
- Macarons are overrated. I tried some on vacation in Paris to see if maybe it was the American made ones that were meh. Nope. It’s all of them. The effort to make them drives up the price but the price exceeds the joy of eating one.
- These are so bad. Like... SO bad.

It's a good deal if you actually eat a bunch of macarons and these replace those, but for me I find I spend (and eat) a lot more total when I buy big containers of treats in bulk, especially when they are not shelf stable and I "need" to eat them before they go bad.
I had a sample of them the other day. Meh.
