Oreo misleading nutrition

hola. so, a 6 pack (called a smile pack) of oreos is supposedly 270 cal
however, 3 oreo cookies from a regular pack is 160 cal
so that means 6 cookies is 320 cal
what gives? same size, same cookie. different nutrition labels. heads up to anyone who eats them regularly. log as the regular cookies

According to Oreo's website, each cookie is about 53 calories. I've never seen a smile pack before. Where do you live?
Oh, and you got me craving Oreos now. THANKS A LOT.0 -

Huh. Maybe you should write Oreo and tell them about it. I highly doubt anything will happen but you might get some free Oreos out of it. lol0 -
The gram sizes on those don't seem to make any sense.0

If memory serves me correct the Oreos in the 4 or 6 packs are smaller than the ones in the full size package.0

Oh never mind, your post says same size cookie0

Are you sure one of them isn't the Double-Stuf?0

Oh and if we build on the math that a serving size is 34 g (I've never had an oreo weigh 3.4g...typically one cookie is around 10 g), then a 57 g package would be 268.xxx calories.0

My son takes those smile packs in his lunch sometimes. The cookies definitely have less filling and seem thinner than a normal oreo.0
-
6 cookie pack listed as:
about 1 serving (57g per serving) ; 270 cal per serving
What you linked to as the 3 cookie pack is actually listed as:
about 9 servings (3.4g per serving) ; 160 cal per serving
Seems that its not the exact same cookie involved...the must be much smaller, more cookie less cream I'm guessing, to make for the difference in size / weight per serving / calories per serving.0 -

hmm interesting. ill have to compare again. i havent weighed them but ill do that tomorrow. either way, its confusing and should be made more clear. this is just like the nightmare of popcorn serving sizes0 -
It's in grams, not in amount of cookies.
ETA: but you're right. It's not supposed to be 3.4g, but 34g.0 -
Nothing is as confusing as popcorn serving sizes!
But yeah, this is up there.0 -
The oreos that come in the 4 pack when you give blood are smaller than the average oreo. try to measure them...0

The oreos that come in the 4 pack when you give blood are smaller than the average oreo. try to measure them...I think you should write them a strongly worded letter about how they are trying to sabotage you. Hopefully they will be very apologetic and send you free Oreo's.

Hmm..interesting. Although, if I'm eating an Oreo, calories are probably not that important to me at that moment. I don't know who eats just one (or two) servings of Oreos at a time anyway. If I can't have the whole sleeve, I don't even bother.
Here's my plate. What are y'all having?0 -
I think this thread is among my favorites in MFP LOL!

MMMMMMM Oreos - Yes the oreos in the individual packages are smaller, then in the big package. Just weigh them and you should be good.0
