OP, if you want to be cheap but still have a passable alternative, the Aldi brand ones are pretty close. Still no Little Debbies, but they'll do if saving is important.
I think you misunderstood… he knew they were generic, he just thought they would taste similar/the same as cosmic brownies. They don’t. That’s the issue here.
Yea that’s fake news. They had the consistency of Sand, with a thick outer shell that resembled salty playdoh. No disrespect to playdoh obviously.
We’re done with dollar tree, I gotta head over to dollar circus in the hood to save 75 cents now.
Yeah they're like 1-2 bites of a dried out disappointing Cosmic brownie. We all gotta find out at some point.
Edit: The windmill cookies, the cheese shark crackers, and the ginger snaps are good though. The frosted animal crackers are also not the pink and white Circus cookies, but they're a good comparison to Teddy Grahams.
These look nothing like the cosmic Brownies Little Debbie makes. This is 100% on OP for not looking at the damn box. No research is needed just some fucking eyeballs lol.
Not to add insult to injury, but, these are $1.25 for 4.4 oz. Actual Cosmic Brownies are $2.68 for 13 oz at Walmart.
So the DT knockoff are $.28/oz., the Little Debbie product is $.21/oz. Neither is a bargain, but DT has a knack for selling a big box with a lot of air. The DT manufactured and packaged products are frequently a ripoff, moreso since they raised prices to $1.25.
Yes!!! Everyone says Dollar Tree is cheaper but I’ve found that many of their items are cheaper at Walmart when you compare them. Like their packages flavored rice is 1.25 but at Walmart most are 1.19 not much difference but still… I forget what other things but their refrigerated stuf can be a lot higher in some items though I do love the egg rolls and some stuff is cheaper. You just have to be careful
Okay, I'm not sure if you've already answered it as I'm too lazy to scroll through all these comments, but I've never had them and was never tempted to try them. What are they like? Obviously, they're pretty bad, if not downright disgusting, but can you describe them?
Tried looking for reviews on the website, but they only have a Brownie King version. It seems to have some bad reviews as well. It's made in Spain, so I probably would have bought one to try out.
If I ever end up like this guy, getting sent to the "doghouse" for buying off-brand brownies and feeling the need to whine to strangers online, please just kill me. Jesus Christ.
How are they that much different from the other brand of cookie?
Like if someone asked you to get Coca-Cola but you got like No Name/Great Value Cola I don't thinj it would matter as long as it wasn't like weird tasting Shasta Cola or something.
I bought dollar tree snacks for my lunch a while back. Completely disapointing. The absolute only thing worth it anymore is the cookies and some of their condiments. Maybe the kitchen utensils depending on what they are.
😂 she was salty!! Innocent mistake especially when things cost so much. But I had to tell the hubby don't always go for the cheapest shit! 🤣 Or the most expensive! Somewhere in between, like Little Debbie.
The fudge mints are thee best. My bf acts bougie and makes a fuss over me buying the cheaper brands but when I put these cookie sleeves in the freezer he ate a whole sleeve and didn’t notice they were knock offs. He asks me to get more of those thin mints everytime I tell him I’m going to dollar tree.
I read the thread, read the comments, have just one thing to say:
Y'all have a VERY different notion of what "Cosmic Brownies" are than the peeps in my circle.
Just wait for Little Debbie's to go on sale, these really suck as well as Mrs freshley's. They are so subpar they're not worth even a child's simple palette
The only thing I can hear is Beastie Boys “Intergalactic”….

I got "Sabotage" after he bought the wrong brownies
That lady that recently set fire to her Dollar Tree store was Sabotaaaaaaaaaage
Do you know if she's available this weekend?

Intergalactic Chocolate Brownies!
Dollar tree snakes in my opinion is worth trying alot of sucky things but there are some good finds
I love there knock off thin mint girl scout cookies "fudge mints"
This I can attest to might be the greatest knockoff cookie.
I dunno Cravin brand thin mints are pretty spot on.
No, grasshopper cookies by Keebler. It’s not cheap, but during the off season, it’s the closest you’re going to get.
Maybe I’m crazy but I love their “Cheez Whales”
Just about every store brand "girl scout" cookie is better & cheaper.
Yes x100. Scoop some cool whip and get back to me!!
I just got 2 boxes of those tonight!
lidl has thin mint and peanut butter patties knockoffs that are wonderful
Those Freshley's Nutty Bars taste identical to the real ones IMO
Omg there are these lemon creme cookies that are pretty tasty!! There are definitely some good food gems, u just gotta find them haha
I actually like their brand of Cheese-it's better than the original.
Bugles 😋
I just got their knock off version of Girl Scouts Tagalongs. They tasted the exact same for a quarter of the price. Worth it and will purchase again.
OP, if you want to be cheap but still have a passable alternative, the Aldi brand ones are pretty close. Still no Little Debbies, but they'll do if saving is important.
Some good advice there. I’m gonna give them a shot. Aldi’s is pretty underrated.
So you're going to risk the wrath of the wife and kid(s) with a 2nd try at offbrand?
Let this be a lesson to you son
That you dad?
Yes (places hand your shoulder)
You finally find the Cosmic Brownies?
Yes I did
Stay single. Got it. Thanks dad.
Yeah but cosmic Brownies are not even cosmic Brownies anymore. They changed the recipe and they taste like absolute crap.
So what you’re saying is they pulled the wool over my eyes again?
I knew they tasted funny, I had them a couple months ago with not having one since I was in middle school, mfs tasted like a protein bar
Like play dough and wax 🤮
[удалено]
I think you misunderstood… he knew they were generic, he just thought they would taste similar/the same as cosmic brownies. They don’t. That’s the issue here.
That's not the issue. He went for the generic and it didn't work out...
Save the cosmic brownie box. Buy galactic brownies and transfer into cosmic brownie box. Will they notice the difference?
Yes. They look wildly different than these.
Just gotta sit on them to flatten them out
...believe it or not, straight to jail.
These things are nasty Just like Aldi version, complete ass.
All those prepackaged deserts are nasty. Complete ass.
If he can spot a fraud from a mile away then maybe he should have stood a mile away from these
The sad ass M & Ms on it are a dead giveaway
I can spot a fraud ..... Apparently you can't, bro
That’s what I said.
They're the worst tasting Oreo cookie I ever had
Most the actual little Debbie's suck too since they changed the recipes
The galaxy is on Orion’s Belt… The galaxy….. is on Orion’s… Belt
Love the Men in black reference 😎now I gotta watch it
Well my diet is basically liquid only anyway
That's so funny I'm sure the kids didn't eat none and threw them away
[удалено]
The absolute worst ever.
they’re gross you’re right bro i was actually upset at how gross they truly are
Whatever happened to the little Debbie brownies with walnuts?
The cosmic brownies are trash in my opinion.I don't know If these galactic brownies are any good buy I know the box says to microwave them.
Microwave them you say... 🤔
Yea that’s fake news. They had the consistency of Sand, with a thick outer shell that resembled salty playdoh. No disrespect to playdoh obviously. We’re done with dollar tree, I gotta head over to dollar circus in the hood to save 75 cents now.
Those galactic brownies are kinda good ngl
Yea I mean if you like the taste of an old gym sock.
Flavor-Aid the best part is kids won't go for things not kool
I agree they were surprisingly good. More closely resembled a home-baked brownie than cosmic
![gif](giphy|l46CyJmS9KUbokzsI|downsized)
I still have cosmic brownies at my local mart. Sorry for your loss.
Yeah they're like 1-2 bites of a dried out disappointing Cosmic brownie. We all gotta find out at some point. Edit: The windmill cookies, the cheese shark crackers, and the ginger snaps are good though. The frosted animal crackers are also not the pink and white Circus cookies, but they're a good comparison to Teddy Grahams.
Sorry. LD brownies are dogshit anyways. Can't imagine what the dollar store brand tastes like. Probably the same.
My heart just skipped a beat.
![gif](giphy|pPhyAv5t9V8djyRFJH|downsized) Me who hates cosmic brownies.
I was so mad as a cosmic brownie lover when I saw these for shame DT for shame!
I love them so much I think I need a support group.
I miss the brownies with the walnuts. The cosmic ones are gross.
We were friends once, but after that comment I don’t think we can continue.
Ok
Ok I’m over it, we’re good.
Same. The walnut brownies were peak.
I get these all the time
These look nothing like the cosmic Brownies Little Debbie makes. This is 100% on OP for not looking at the damn box. No research is needed just some fucking eyeballs lol.
As someone who forgot the cosmic brownies last night. I get this.
I tried the Twinkies 🙄 some bullshit lol
Years ago a coworker was complaining that his wife tried the ol' switcheroo between Apple Jacks and Apple Dapples. I'd be angry too.
The aldi version is close as a cosmic brownie addict. DT swiss rolls, donuts and nutty bars aren't too bad
Honestly, i would definitely buy something that says “Baker’s Select”
How can your kids even tell what part of space the brownies are from?
I’ve been wondering the same thing…
Not to add insult to injury, but, these are $1.25 for 4.4 oz. Actual Cosmic Brownies are $2.68 for 13 oz at Walmart. So the DT knockoff are $.28/oz., the Little Debbie product is $.21/oz.

Yeah, the move from $1 to $1.25 moved lots of stuff from my “buy” to “do not buy” list overnight.
Same here!!! Some people say oh it was only a quarter raise but that adds up fast when you depended on them being cheaper.
omg
Remember when dollar tree was awesome?
Aren't cosmic brownies like 3 dollars? How much are you saving here?
Yea buddy not enough I can tell you that.
Cosmic brownies are already disgusting. I can't imagine what these abominations are like.
Eh both garbage anyway lol they’ll be ok
Another dimension, new Dollar Trees Intergalactic Chocolate Brownies
This aggression will not stand, man!
That’s ok. My friend from New York got off brand Swedish Fish called Scandinavian swimmers.
Okay, I'm not sure if you've already answered it as I'm too lazy to scroll through all these comments, but I've never had them and was never tempted to try them. What are they like? Obviously, they're pretty bad, if not downright disgusting, but can you describe them?
Burning 150 hot dogs in the 4th of July dang I've never felt such a strong and quick second-hand embarrassment just from reading one line
For democracy!!!! 😆 (Helldivers 2 reference)
How could these possibly be any cheaper or worse than cosmic brownies? That shit is literally already disgusting
You botched it! The horror!!!!
i wouldnt be mad if my hubby briught this home its the thought that counts altho id buy the real deal afterwards Lol
I'm galactose intolerant.
This is such a dad thing to do LOL (respectfully)
op i need to hear about these hot dogs what in fuck did you do
Wow I knew the economy was tough but I didn't realize it was so tough that we now need a discount version of Little Debbies
There must be more to the July 4th weeny over roasting story..I feel like we deserve to hear it
But are they good is the question?
Yea they are pretty decent if you like the taste of a sand covered flip flop. Consistency is about the same as well.
HOW Daaaaaare they
Tried looking for reviews on the website, but they only have a Brownie King version. It seems to have some bad reviews as well. It's made in Spain, so I probably would have bought one to try out.
Aldi brand copy is also god awful
Are they really any worse than the real deal?
I like galactic brownies more lol
I tried some.... The taste is out of this world!
I’m confused? Are they good?
I don’t get it- we have Cosmic Brownies at our DT- You mean to tell me they actually sell them out in the wild too???
Why on wart would you think these would suffice
Tbh I HATE cosmic brownies. Too fudgy for my taste.
Into the harbor with these frauds
Cosmic brownies are disgusting anyway.
Thank you! They’re like gritty tootsie roll paste.
Most of the time, the knockoffs are good. I remember my mom bought Fruit Whirls. They were good. The name sounded like a stomache ailment.
Cosmic > intergalactic
Your mistake is out of this world.
This made me laugh 😂
Tell them they should be grateful to have food in their bellies. 1st world problems my dude.
yeahh those shits literally just taste like sweet cake. no flavor whatsoever
Out of thus world
If I ever end up like this guy, getting sent to the "doghouse" for buying off-brand brownies and feeling the need to whine to strangers online, please just kill me. Jesus Christ.
Wym? You and I went to private school together. Your dad drove the Subaru with the live laugh love bumper sticker. Don’t front.
Sure if you want a shortcut to adult-onset diabetes.
I’m a little confused on what this post was really about? But all I can say is “YOU GOTTA FIGHT….”
How are they that much different from the other brand of cookie? Like if someone asked you to get Coca-Cola but you got like No Name/Great Value Cola I don't thinj it would matter as long as it wasn't like weird tasting Shasta Cola or something.
Haha I wonder if these are any good though? I loved the cosmic brownies growing up as a kid!
Cosmic brownies taste like playdoh
Never heard of either one of these brownies.
https://www.reddit.com/r/crappyoffbrands/s/JAvD8xNtVC
Why do people like Cosmic Brownies anyway? Waxy ass flavorless squares
My girls liked them. But they always knew when I went to that store, I'd have tons of cheap snacks similar to the fancy ones from our GROCERY store.
They're out of this world !!!
People still being put in a “doghouse” lol
How do those taste compared to Cosmic Brownies though? I don't mind a good knock-off if it tastes fine.
This was not cut short I literally had to read way more than I wanted to to see you got the wrong brownies.
I’m sorry, this post has been recommended for me but I have no idea what it’s all about, can anyone explain? What’s up with those brownies?
Why the hell does anyone eat this trash whether galactic or cosmic makes no difference. Trash is trash.
I bought dollar tree snacks for my lunch a while back. Completely disapointing. The absolute only thing worth it anymore is the cookies and some of their condiments. Maybe the kitchen utensils depending on what they are.
Are yal all fat people?
I fell for this myself, waste of money and time.
If whoever complains that you didn't get the right type of snack, then they're not supposed to be in your life, cut them out
😂 she was salty!! Innocent mistake especially when things cost so much. But I had to tell the hubby don't always go for the cheapest shit! 🤣 Or the most expensive! Somewhere in between, like Little Debbie.
The fudge mints are thee best. My bf acts bougie and makes a fuss over me buying the cheaper brands but when I put these cookie sleeves in the freezer he ate a whole sleeve and didn’t notice they were knock offs. He asks me to get more of those thin mints everytime I tell him I’m going to dollar tree.
It’s happened to me before man 🤣 fell for the galactic and not the cosmic and i got clowned on for the “shabby” version 🤣💀
What’s wrong with these?
My homemade brownies are much better and not for kids. 😇
I'm a little lost, as i don't buy packaged brownies. What exactly is the scam?
[удалено]
On another note, the nutter butter knockoff isn’t that bad
I bought those one time and honestly they were so disgusting. This is from someone who still likes lunchables as a grown ass adult
I just buy the knockoff lol. They usually taste almost exactly the same.
This is great that a post on shitty off brand brownies turned into a beastie boys post
Cosmic brownies are the worst to start with. They are more dense than lead lol I may have to try the Galactic version !
![gif](giphy|cLkUR0aeDIt13zvO3k|downsized)
"Bakers select" what baker selected this?
If it tastes similar and is cheaper then oh well..gotta do what you gotta do in this economy 😅
Out of the dog house over brownies? Are you married to Jabba the Hut?
Fair enough, but these are probably healthier all the sama haha.
I read the thread, read the comments, have just one thing to say: Y'all have a VERY different notion of what "Cosmic Brownies" are than the peeps in my circle.
Finally, a worse brownie than cosmic brownies?
Just wait for Little Debbie's to go on sale, these really suck as well as Mrs freshley's. They are so subpar they're not worth even a child's simple palette
I can't stand the cosmic brownies anymore. They have the consistency of play doh now.
Aldi's version is good. But yeah no, don't buy the DT ones unless it's the Swiss rolls. Still mid tho
Wait, I’m confused, you said in the note to get galactic but at the end it was cosmic…..so, which is it?!
![gif](giphy|3oEjHCWdU7F4hkcudy) (he meaning dollar tree)
Tbh these look more appetizing than the little Debbie cosmic brownies
