Oreo Cookies

Asus X540L

Just had my first ever few oreo cookies.
Only bought them cause they were 75 cent in Dealz.

Don't see what all the fuss is about. They taste exactly like the bourbon creams you can get in lidlyaldi for 19 cent.

You dunk them in milk and you rip the two bits apart and lick out the cream.

Come back to us when you have had the true Oreo experience.

Tried that. Vile, dry tasteless creations.

Agree 100%. Seen them on American TV shows and movies for years and when I finally got one it was absolute muck. Same as twinkies

Indeed, nothing like a bourbon. At least you can dunk and enjoy a bourbon.

All I want is a Hob-nob now.

F*ck you all.

They are all inferior to custard creams

Miss Demeanour

Give me a jaffa cake or a cake bar any day.

On par with Nando's for overrated sh*te.

Preach. Nithing beats a pack of custard creams and tea to banish the January blues.

Oreo milkshakes are lovely though!

KilOit

Try Dairymilk Oreo's

This thread really takes the biscuit cookie

In a world where Fox’s biscuits and Ginger Nuts exist, I can’t understand stand why anyone would choose Oreos. The predominant flavour is sugar.

American confectionery is generally inferior.

They're horrible. It's chocolate digestives or nothing. For the record Aldi dark chocolate digestives are the nicest ones out there.

Sofiztikated

The very fact that you can get Cookies N Cream flavoured Oreos makes me smile.

Oreo flavoured Oreos, **** me, there's someone that will go places.

They're ****e though.

Nope, I’d still think they were shite. Them being American is no coincidence though. Even American friends of mine lament the poor quality of American confectionery. If Oreos were made elsewhere, they’d probably be nicer.

The Oreos in shops are not made in the US. I think the ones in the US have a more appealing taste.

Have you tasted both to compare?

howyanow

Don't get the how they are so popular myself,they are no Cadbury chocolate fingers!!

Oldtree

As an officenado of cream biscuits I find Oreos to be similar to borbon creams and neither are to my liking.

Now orange creams go down by the packet as do fox's ginger crunch creams and viennese raspberry and cream.

I've gone off Custard creams, but like Nice creams the odd time again by the packet.

Raspberry creams are a little too sweet.

Jammy dodgers, the biscuit is too dry.

Aw i love oreos. I found an amazing gluten free version of them in tenerife and went through a bunch of packets of them.
Choc hob nobs are great too.

Agreed. Biscuits in general never done it for me. They glue to your teeth and oftentimes contain way too much sugar.

Ginger Nuts! Good shout.

You can stick your Fix's up your swiss, though.

They might have been good once, but like most things from the USA, they get worse over time. As they get popular, they ramp up mass-production; replacing quality ingredients with cheaper "equivalents". Tweaking the recipes so production takes less time and fewer steps, and the product has a longer shelf-life. And so on, and so on.

Ever had a Twinkie? Those things will potentially last forever. After World War III, when only cockroaches survive on this planet, they'll live off Oreos, Twinkies, and Ramen noodles.

Tim Tams ftw.

The first time I had an Oreo I remember thinking 'is this it?'. Couldn't understand the fuss. They seem to be more popular for being cool than being nice biscuits.

Gimme Maryland chocolate chips and a litre of ice-cold milk any day over Oreos. They are overrated.

Oreos are mank.

igCorcaigh

They look pretty though.

I think Twinkies have a shelf-life of twenty years.

If pregnant women eat them the child could have birth defects. Well that's a slight exaggeration but Twinkies I believe were made in a lab.

There is nothing good at all about American basic foodstuffs. Their milk is shit, their butter is shit. Their cheese is shit. Have you ever tried Wonderbread? Christ, talk about synthetic. Their chocolate is shit. Try a Hershey Bar....absolute garbage. We don't need to get onto their beer. Their bacon? Are you having a laugh? Their eggs are dire. Battery farmed, tasteless with lemon yellow yolks instead of a nice light orange hue that results from a chicken who's actually walked around for a portion of her life and eaten proper chicken food.

If water didn't fall from the sky or spring up out of rocks they'd manage to make that taste bad too.

So you’ve never had a bourbon either as they’re nothing like Oreo’s. You should get out more.

They were much better in the US years ago. Then they had to take most of the bad stuff out of them. and now they are bland rubbish. Don't get me started on the daft idea to put them in a cadbury's dairy milk.

andekwarhola

They're manky.

Quite worryingly, my kids like them though.

I hope it's not a gateway snack to cheeky bites in Five Goys, aspirational American hoodies, and hanging around Dundrum

Totes mainstream now.

Oreos are nice enough.

- have they stopped making Toffee Pops? I haven't been able to find them the last few times I was in Ireland; now they were the Rolls Royce of filled-biscuits.

andekwarhola

Or Cafe Noir.

Addiction in a packet.

Boom_Bap

Oreos are grand, I like to chew them up and then take a sip of milk, mix it together in my mouth and then swallow.

Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches are f*cking amazing though



Not to be confused with a tub or Orea ice cream which is mank.

They're very much still around. My local shop does them for a euro a pack. If you're stuck, Aldi have their own ones called Toffeepopsicles!

I think if I lived in America I'd never eat another biscuit or sweet again. Considering Oreos and Twinkies are two of their most popular biscuits/sweets I'd hate to taste what they consider inferior.

I think if I lived in the US again, I would probably stuff myself with double cream Oreos for the first week and get it out of my system and then not eat any ever again. So easy to get sick of them when they are more readily available.

You'd change your tune once you tried Milk Duds.

Reese's cups are pretty good. A bit sweet, but good.

I tried a five guys burger the other week. Absolute rubbish it was.
