    But of course they're only available in some specific stores in France, so it probably doesn't count.

    But I still like Pepperidge Farm more than Oreos :p

    Those look about as exciting as a bran muffin.

    And about 1/2 as tasty...

    You have no idea what you're missing... pure buttery goodness... of course the big ones are like 90 calories each *sigh*

    Dinner rolls are supposed to be buttery.
    Cookies are supposed to be sweet and either chocolatey or peanut buttery. Sometimes both.

    Now now now...what about Lorna Doones?

    They look like sadness compared to

    Beautiful-Cookies-and-Milk.jpg

    But they taste like an artery clogger!

    Plus I like my 100 calorie packs and the lorna doone 100 calorie pack are real cookies as opposed to the oreo ones which are...I don't know what the hell they are.

    I equally love both (along with milanos and bordeaux). :)

    They are in UK shops but I've never wanted to try them and still don't because they look like there's a lot of black food colouring in them. Unnatural-looking things suggest they will have an unnatural taste too.

    Ingredients

    SUGAR, UNBLEACHED ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE {VITAMIN B1}, RIBOFLAVIN {VITAMIN B2}, FOLIC ACID), PALM AND/OR CANOLA OIL, COCOA (PROCESSED WITH ALKALI), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CORNSTARCH, LEAVENING (BAKING SODA AND/OR CALCIUM PHOSPHATE), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, VANILLIN - AN ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, CHOCOLATE.CONTAINS WHEAT, SOY.

    two cookies of 20 grams contain 13 grams of sugar. Honestly, I don't see anything yummy in here, and I know Oreos taste artificial and not very rich.

    Yeah, I think a lot of Oreo love is nostalgia. Personally I think the fill taste like sugar and powdered milk and the cookie taste like dark cardboard.

    I'd rather have a bourbon or a ginger nut or a hob nob or a Jaffa cake.....anything but an awful oreo.

    Those are nowhere near as good as the ones I posted above, but still tasty.

    But I guess butter/sugar cookies are just my favorite cookies anyway. Chessmen from Pepperidge Farm? Yes please!

    Hey, I'd be all over those cookies you posted!

    Of course, I'll eat pretty much any cookie unless it has mint. :)

    Finally got my grubby little paws on some peanut butter Oreos last night. Can confirm they are awesome. Maybe even better than mint ones...

    They were giving samples of Oreos at the store yesterday. Got to try the cinnamon bun one (and must say I was underwhelmed) and the thin mint. This one I was really impressed with (sorry Carlos) and maybe even better than a Girl Scout Thin Mint. However since we have tons of valentines candy, and plans to bake/decorate sugar cookies today, I managed to say thanks for the sample sweet little old lady wearing plastic serving gloves and forgo buying a pack of any of them...

    Oreos are kind of gross but I guess if you grew up with them you would think differently.
    English peeps, the main problem with America is the difficulty in getting crunchie bars. But look what Target has started selling? I didn't even know these existed until now.

    Im sorry but Girl Scout Thin Mints are the best packaged cookies of all time.

    That said, they pail in comparison when put up against some freshly baked, made from scratch chocolate chip cookies.

    Where did all the haters come from?
    Who could possibly not like Oreos? Are we being infiltrated by body snatching aliens?

    I agree. Our lack of Crunchie bars is quite a problem. Pepperidge Farm started importing Tim Tams, so I still have hope for the Crunchie.
