    I actually liked the toasted coconut Oreos a lot.

    I've seen people say they enjoyed red velvet this year but I didn't really like it last year.

    Oreo really needs a sampler package or something man.

    I would be so excited to see a variety pack!

    I'm actually astonished the marketing geniuses at Oreo haven't come up with this yet....

    They have. Kinda. They just adulterated it with Nutter Butters (which are fine with me) and Chips Ahoy (which aren't). Guess sales are meh for those since they haven't been more adventurous with it.

    I would definitely pay for an assortment of snack packs in various flavors of Oreos only.

    Why aren't Oreo Peeps a thing?!?!?!?!

    Because they're too easy to make on our own.

    Microwave* a Peep and sandwich it between two Oreos. Done.

    Think of the flavor combos! :wink:

    *Those who hate microwaved can use them raw

    This thread reminded me that these exist. I haven't had them in years but I love them.

    these are heavenly!
    i always swoon over them in the store but they're stupid expensive here!

    I guess they would rather we buy a whole pack of one and then a whole pack of another, than a variety pack where we could get say 5 each of 4 flavours and instantly decide we don't like 3 of them.

    I'm gonna get so much hate but I LOVE OREOS...without the cream. The filling is just too sweet and the texture is so grainy.

    But that cookie part though...they need to sell that by themselves <3

    i <3 you!
    i scrape off the cream and throw it away.

    "Clean" eater alert^^


    I feel like I should add that I haven't had an Oreo in months. Ice cream FTW!

    Yes, but only because Oreos are not GF and I actually have celiac and cannot eat them without becoming deathly ill.

    Mint, fudge, double stuff
    peanut butter, red velvet
    Oreo Haiku

    Excellent!

    Hi! I just wanted to put it on the record that I LOVE oreos. I simply questioned why he had purchased 3 family size packs for the 2 of us. It was an innocent misunderstanding. :)

    I have to say, you look much less confused than the picture we were provided with. Nice to meet you!

    I dunno...I'm still hung up on the mint oreo thing...

    They both seem somewhat confused about this to me.

    I have actually never tried the mint Oreo, mostly because I only like some mint and chocolate candies. So I never took a chance with the mint Oreo since I know I love the original.

    Don't let your hubby's poor taste influence you....;)

    I highly recommend them crumbled on top of ice cream (mint chocolate chip ice cream, if you're really feeling saucy)
    Oreo mint thins are pretty nice. I've never had regular Oreos mints but really enjoy the cream to cookie ratio in thins.

    OMG they have the thins in mint?!
    i loved the original mint ones but thought there was a bit too much cream.

    (same with the lemon ones!)

    Yup. The only thins I haven't tried are the golden ones. The idea of Oreo Thins sounds silly but they're honestly great.

    According to the new products thread, lemon thins are on their way!

    Because that would be a waste of perfectly good Oreos.

    Why not just make Oreo kale for crying out loud if you're going down that road...

    That might actually make kale palatable.

    There's no such process in the universe.

    What he said!

    Better than the person at work who took the cream off the cookie & then threw the cookie back in the package.

    Unless they fully replaced the marshmallow with Oreo cream and used cookie crumbs instead of sugar crystals!!
    At that point it's a huge chick shaped mega stuf Oreo!!
    Take that, reese's egg!!!

    This, I could get behind.

    Though I would eat in combination with Reese's eggs, never instead of.

    Oh absolutely. Oreos may be the best packaged cookie of all time but Reese's eggs are the best easter candy of all time.

    Better than these?

    It's so easy to demolish a whole package of the thins.

    If those were made with actual ice cream I would be on board, but as it is, it seems like false advertising!

    Those cookie dough eggs were pretty nice. They're a little overpriced though.

    I actually prefer Oreo Thins. They're crunchier.

    I eat too many of the thin ones - they're addictive! So keep them in freezer for company. Want to come over?

    I will do more depraved things for Gingerbread Oreos than I would for a Klondike bar

    Except that Raisin Bran was my favorite cereal as a kid. I would have found those on Day 1. And I would have demanded to know what happened to my cereal!!!

    Are you popping the Oreo because you opened the thread, or are you opening the thread because you are popping the Oreo?

    I thought of this post as I strolled down the cookie aisle yesterday. "Lime", "red velvet" and even a few leftover "gingerbread". Call me a purist, anything other than the old fashioned oreo is just a bastardization of a good thing. Peanut butter, mmmaybe. Mint? Like eating toothpaste. And is it REALLY an oreo if it's a vanilla cookie? No, just no.

    Lime? LIME???? Where did you find the lime?? That one has been so elusive.

    I swear, we need an oreo exchange system around here.
