I will not buy the larger ones. They can be tough. I prefer the ones that
say "petite". Oddly, if you get the large bags at Cotsco, you get the
large, woody ones. But during the school year, they carry the individual
bags in a large plastic box that are the tiny ones. I don't know why they
don't carry them during the summer. Kids might not be in school then but
they'd still eat them!
