I don't! You know me! Kind of.

I just don't understand what Oreos are supposed to taste of. If it's chocolate, they don't taste at all chocolatey to me. And the filling has no flavour except for overt sugaryness.

Totally agree.
I bought some chocolate covered ones in Amsterdam... just because they were there.  They were alright, cos they were chocolate covered.  But i dont like the regular ones, and i definitely dont like finding black sh*t between my teeth after i've eaten one!

Well, that's a completely different thing! You put anything in a bowl of ice cream, and I'm happy!  ;D

Don't really care for regular oreos...for 2 reasons!

1 and the most important reason of all is because the filling makes the roof of your mouth slicky and slimy because it's pure crisco.

2 the middle is made from crisco lol and taste like it just with sugar added.


I did however like the chocolate ones...not the chocolate covered ones but the one with the chocolate middle. It didn't taste at all like crisco and they were really good. I don't think they make them anymore..

Gag worthy = double stuffed oreos  [smiley=bleck.gif]

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

I don't understand the British obsession with Jaffa Cakes. I find them to be wholly intolerable. Additionally, how in the world are custard creams considered the best biscuit ever?  :D

Oreos are not my favourite, but every once in awhile they hit the spot. Soaked in milk until they're soft & mushy... mmm.....

Definitely food you eat while home alone and with easy access to a toothbrush tho!!!!
I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

Surely shortbread or digestives (chocolate or otherwise) are the best biscuits ever?  Jaffa cakes?  Meh.
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

Just curious: do the UK ones have the same exact ingredients that the US ones have?

The article says yes, it'll be the same recipe as the US ones.

Not only the best biscuit, but quite possibly the best food ever!  ;D

Custard creams aren't. Bourbon biscuits are!

I'm partial to a Jammie Dodger, but if not available, a custard cream is the next best thing... or a ginger cream!
