What is up with these things? They are only available October through April. People hoard them. And 70% are sold in the NY metropolitan area.
This is one weird cookie. Apparently, since back in 1913 (when they were invented) there were no refrigerated delivery trucks, the Mallomars produced in the summer melted before they ever reached your local grocer. Improbably, the Mallomar people elected to keep to their quaint production schedule and these cookies remain unavailable in the summer months to this day.
And thus the sign here at my local grocer.
Curmudgeons don't seem to particularly care for Mallomars - the hoopla is lost on us.
