'Diabolical' New Costco Dessert Draws Surprising Amount of Division Among Fansoriginally appeared onParade. A new dessert spotted at Costco is causing quite a stir, and not just because of its nostalgic roots. One Costco influencer by the username of Costco Hypeshared a video of the discovery on Instagramearlier this week. In the freezer section, they found a 12-pack of mini ice cream sandwiches from the brand Afters, which featured a blue-tinted Madagascar vanilla-flavored ice cream with fudge swirls sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies, serving as a nod toSesame Street'sCookie Monster. Responses to the throwback dessert could not have been more mixed, with many feeling immediately hype over the new grocery item and others struck by the treat's unexpectedly lengthy list of ingredients. "This is diabolical. 😭😭😭," one person declared, admitting that it "Def won't last long in the fridge 😮💨😮💨😮💨." Another expressed themselves simply with a series of fire emojis: "🔥🔥🔥🔥." "I would like a sample!" another quipped, as someone else felt confident based on a previous item from the brand, writing, "The bars were 🔥. Can't believe they found a way to improve." But a glimpse at the ingredients, which took up much of the bottom of the box, concerned others, with one simply noting, "That ingredient list is long af for just a ice cream cookie 😂." "Ingredients list is like a Harry potter book series. Im cool," another wrote, while someone else agreed, "Looks like 100+ ingredients. Trash." Some drew particular concern from the blue dye, as certainfood additives are becoming increasingly controversial.
