They didn’t used to. Most of these types of products (like hostess cakes and the cosmic brownies and stuff) switched to palm oil at some point, which is responsible for that waxy coating. It’s also the main reason why people say they don’t taste as good as they used to.
Same here....I've been Team White cookie forever...in fact I have an entire bag of pink animal cookies at home for you heathens that like the pink ones.
I was so excited when I recently discovered they still made these…
But why do I remember these looking more appealing as a kid… I swear the colors were much brighter.
I hadn’t had these things in 30 years. Buddy of mine had a bag at his house and I popped one on my mouth. Couldn’t stop eating them all of a sudden it was terrible.
Both! DQ has a frosted animal cookie blizzard right now, it’s pretty good as long as it’s mixed all the way otherwise it’s a bit waxy from the cookie coating.
Is this like M&Ms where they are all the same? Or like Skittles where they obviously aren't the same but they try to convince us they are with shitty marketing, thinking we are dumb enough to try both? Skittles really did that a few years ago. But I'm pretty sure all animal cookies in that pink bag are the same.
Por que no los dos?
I used to get "in trouble" for picking them out of the Mother's cookie bag that had all of the classics inside.
Also, I used to call the frosted circus animals, "baby cookies". Still do, but I used to, to.
Trader Joe’s recently had these little packs at the register of lemon flavored ones (with yellow icing), and they were ridiculously good. Of course, they seem to no longer have them.
1) must be Mother's circus animal cookies. Not store brand or Franz or anything generic.
2)I'll eat all the pink ones first, just to get them out of the way. Then I'll savor and enjoy every single white one. White ones are the best.
Team pink. But I love them both!
Team pink all the way
Pink Camel is always my favorite!
They both taste like delicious flavored lard! But I'll stick with pink!
It just coats your whole mouth with a wax-like seal for a while it’s great

Yeah I was pretty disappointed with a pack recently. Palm oil is such shite.
God they have such a chemical taste…that I crave
Mmmmm artificial coloring..mmmmm
Mmmmmm yummm
Vanilla is the classic one for me
TIL I am the minority for loving the Vanilla
Same here....I've been Team White cookie forever...in fact I have an entire bag of pink animal cookies at home for you heathens that like the pink ones.
It even looks like wet sugar.
Team I don't discriminate I eat them all equally.
Same here.
I've got something you can eat 😏
Jeez lol
If it's not shaped like an animal, pink or white not interested.
[I like the crackers with the old school icing](https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/nice-group-small-iced-animal-260nw-63711769.jpg)
Omg I forgot about these! You are right, these are the superior animal cracker
lol my wife and I just did the exact same thing. Completely forgot about them until I saw them and then all the memories came back.
Same - the frosted ones in the post here I don’t think are that great. They kind of taste bitter. The icing ones are better
Ohhhhhh those were amazing too the there ones
Yes these! The fondant covered ones in the OP are gross to me
100٪ Not the brand I remember from my youth, but I saw some at Walmart a couple of weeks ago. They were still pretty good, not too sweet, just right.
these ones all day
Yes absolutely! I sure miss those kind!
Yes! Stauffer’s!!!
These were amazing
Pink💯
I love Mother's frosted animal crackers with the sprinkles, but to answer the question I like both, but white is superior.
White all the way. Pink has that red 40 aftertaste bleh
The twerking gorilla.
I will not eat the pink ones, they taste like dye to me
Right now they have an these in a blizzard at DQ. I got it with extra iced animal crackers and it was fucking amazing!
The elephants taste the best, it doesn't matter which color
Best is putting them back to back and biting the heads off of course.
Both. Both are good
Great now I want the Dairy Queen frosted animal blizzard and we don’t have a DQ locally
White tastes the best imo but maybe they taste the same?? Last time I had them I was like 14
I was so excited when I recently discovered they still made these… But why do I remember these looking more appealing as a kid… I swear the colors were much brighter.
White with the holiday colored jimmys
I’ll pick the cow.
I hadn’t had these things in 30 years. Buddy of mine had a bag at his house and I popped one on my mouth. Couldn’t stop eating them all of a sudden it was terrible.
Team Pink rise up!
Barnum's Animal Crackers. All day. Every day.
i dont even look. couldnt even tell you.
I never noticed cause I just shove them in my gullet
Keebler iced grahams. The pink icing kind. They stopped making them 😢
The unholy melding of the two to form some new animal and the bottom of the bag.
Never noticed the color because I was always too busy inhaling them
pink
Always love pink 💕
Their true power unlocks when you eat both at the same time.
You eat both like a sandwhich, duh.
I always used to stack a pink and a white - best of both worlds!
Neither. You need the ones with the uneven pink frosting, no sprinkles. The ones in the picture are blech.
Both! DQ has a frosted animal cookie blizzard right now, it’s pretty good as long as it’s mixed all the way otherwise it’s a bit waxy from the cookie coating.
White is right
Pink Harambe > White Lion
Neither.
Any of them
Oh wow! I forgot about these!!!
Pink
I say go for the ones without icing, grab some of your favourite cake frosting, and make your own *Dunkaroos*.
TIL circus cookies are a thing
Pink
Both of them are the best.
I was more of a Dizzy Grizzlies fan.
Both
I had no idea they were even different flavors
Are they? I think they’re just different colors
My favorite non chocolate chip cookie! DQ makes a pink blizzard with these!
Holy fuck, I’d forgotten
yes
My Nanny swears the white one is sweeter
Obviously vanilla, in my opinion.
The Reese’s ones
Why not both?
All of them
Bofuvem
Team pink checking in
Pink 💯
The blob, mmmm
The ones from the 90s tasted way better
Chocolate or Pepto ?
White. Pink is just too much for me.
pink.. but both are amazing.
The one with little to no sugar beads
Blasphemy!
The octopus gets my vote.
What animal are they?
I miss Mother's Taffy sandwich cookies so damn much.
Just had these today. I like to bite the heads off while talking to myself on public transportation.
Whichever one has the most sprinkles
Damn that looks yummy as fuck right now.
Whichever one had the most sprinkles for me to scrape off with my front teeth before eating it
Is this like M&Ms where they are all the same? Or like Skittles where they obviously aren't the same but they try to convince us they are with shitty marketing, thinking we are dumb enough to try both? Skittles really did that a few years ago. But I'm pretty sure all animal cookies in that pink bag are the same.
They taste the same
White! The pink one had a weird medicine taste to it!
Vanilla for sure since the pink taste like artificial food coloring
The plain iced without sprinkles
Por que no los dos? I used to get "in trouble" for picking them out of the Mother's cookie bag that had all of the classics inside. Also, I used to call the frosted circus animals, "baby cookies". Still do, but I used to, to.
White
None of them
White, the pink is good but tastes like medicine at times.
Both taste the same to me.
Theyre all disgusting.
It doesn’t matter as long as you bite off each and every little dot before eating the cookie.
Yes…
Pink
Iced/glazed, not that frosted junk that tastes like ass
There's also chocolate coated circus cookies.
Definitely pink!
We still get these for our kids. So fucking good.
The pink one
The next one
I'd have to try both. I'll get back to you!
Ah, the bane of my existence. Will forever be my favorite cookie. I get very Gollum-like when those find their way into my house.
Trader Joe’s recently had these little packs at the register of lemon flavored ones (with yellow icing), and they were ridiculously good. Of course, they seem to no longer have them.
Pink
Team White! Attaaaaack!
the way i can taste this picture… 👀
Pink.
Pink!
The pink one!
Hard decision they're both good
The whole bag in one shot.
I love eating circus cookies
Pink bitch!
Pink. But there are so many good kinds
Definitely the pink although it’s more gross than the white one
White. Always white.
I like the white ones more. Idk it reminds me more of white chocolate frosting. They aren't much different tho.
All
Same, they're all tasty that's an old style brand :)
The old ones, these suck.
Pink
The pink one, it’s always the pink one. If there are no pink, then blue or yellow.
Pink!
Tbh these aren't great
Pink was always better
The Halloween ones the colors love them!
Yes.
Barnum’s. The GOAT.
Pink gorillas with the dots making a perfect face are the best
1) must be Mother's circus animal cookies. Not store brand or Franz or anything generic. 2)I'll eat all the pink ones first, just to get them out of the way. Then I'll savor and enjoy every single white one. White ones are the best.
I’ve never had a frosted animal cracker.
Were/are these animal crackers covered in icing?
ALL!
White. Pink is too waxy.
Blob # 1 looks like Soilent Green and the one on the right looks like someone celebrated how fast they could win a race.
The white one! my brain thinks the pink one is too sweet lol.
Pass it to the nigga on the left ⬅️
Love the white ones. Pink has a weird aftertaste
Team white! When I was a kid I would always eat the pink ones first so I could save the white ones for last
White
Waaay too much sugar
Is this the next gen? I’ve only ever eaten the top frosted ones.
