I have to say, all the different flavored oreos are full of sadness. I stick to regular or double stuff. The others just disappoint. Not my opinion. It's a fact of science.

Yeah cause you're from the UK and all we have in Europe (I'm from Germany btw) are the gross Oreos which were produced either in the UK or Spain. And even the original Oreos here taste nothing like the original Oreos from the US. Gonna get a batch of new flavors in May from the US.
I'm American but have been living in England for several years. I agree that the oreos on this side of the atlantic don't taste the same but I still think they're great.
Also, coke and pepsi taste slightly different...no idea why
Like macgurlnet said it's the sugar vs corn syrup in those drinks.
For me, I only purchase European Oreos like once every year or less. The last Oreo I ate was in June last year and I'm still not craving for the EU Oreos to get a pack, but I wouldn't say no to US Oreos!
I already filed a complaint about that to Nabisco/Kraft Foods/whatever it's called righ now in the EU,
And they were like "they are totally okay" and I just thought well then you guys from the customer support never tried an actual Oreo.
Well but somehow it's good to have my desire limited to the US ones, cause I could eat those Oreos 24/7.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to try the cupcake and cinnamon bun varieties.
The cupcake ones I would rank below the brownie batter. The cinnamon bun reminds me of a cinnamon sugar poptart.0 -

Carlos, you had it right with your first post. Why even bother with these other flavors? Also, you nailed it when you said mint oreos are disgusting sacrilege. That is exactly what they are.0

I tried em because I was at my folks' and they didn't have originals.0 -
The gingerbread oreos don't even have the flap. Once it's opened...it stays opened.0

I went to the store and found some white fudge covered Oreo's. They are never available this long after Christmas. I am so happy!1

Thanks to this thread (and the Oreo Industrial Complex) I bought a thing of Oreos yesterday. Oreos were like 25% of yesterday's calories. I should do that every day to prove all these clean-eaters wrong but I don't mind saving them a little so they are more special to me.
How do you guys deal with the milk dunking? I debated weighing my little cup of milk before and after to figure out how much I'd used but I didn't want to spoil the purity of the first night's Oreo experience so I just eyeballed how much milk was consumed.0 -
I haven't had that problem. The flap has always worked perfectly for me - but then I DO close it properly. Can't let the Oreos go stale!0 -
I made this over the weekend. Oreo icebox cake. Used birthday cake Oreos. Red velvet flavor is next

MMmmm... Oreos. I probably eat about 90% clean, but I'm not striving to be a complete clean eater. I ate my allotted 3 Oreos last night. Ate them as slow as I could, pulled off the top, broke it in half, nibbled it, ate the other half, then half the cream, the other half, start on the bottom. Probably took about an hour to eat those three. I don't like a lot of packaged cookies, but I make an exception for original Oreos.0

Interesting. How was the texture of the oreos after freezing them with the cool whip? Did they stay crunchy, or turn more into the texture of an ice cream sandwich?0 -

Just drink the last of it. Oreo cookie crumble milk is divine.

I did not freeze the cake. I dipped the Oreos in milk for a few seconds. Softens them up. Then cool whip on top and another layer oreos then cool whip. It has a little crunchyness. The more you soak them in the milk the less crunchy. This could use come chocolate sauce once you plate it. This is so simple to make.0 -

That was my thought too.
Just how long could anyone need the bag to able to reseal?0 -

Yeah I have two cookies maybe twice a week, if that... lol. I end up putting the boxes in ziploc bags if it's the kind of Oreos that my kids don't like.0 -

Two a day for me if they're the non-thins. Usually 3 or the full serving of 4 if they're the thins.0 -

So is it just a pile of Oreos and Cool-Whip?
Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, I'm just not sure I get it if it's not frozen.0 -

I always thought Icebox cakes were supposed to be refrigerated, not frozen (which I agree make no sense considering their name, but heck)? The cookies are supposed to get soft... that wouldn't happen if they were frozen. Although typically they use whipped cream, not whipped topping, but it's probably similar (I've done some with vanilla sweetened ricotta for more protein and it was delish, although I used graham crackers and not oreos).0 -

Well, an "icebox" was really more of a refrigerator-temperature thing than a freezer so I guess it makes sense in that regard, but it just doesn't seem like there's much to the recipe to make it seem like an appealing option, I guess. Not that I have a problem with Oreos or whipped cream, I just don't really see it as a "cake" or a dessert that makes sense in combination, I guess.
Oreo cheesecake, I get, though.0 -

Basically yes. Very easy to make and that is why i did it.
I think traditional icebox cake would incorporate a layer of pudding into it. Typically vanilla and chocolate.0 -
Back in the day there was no flap. No ultra plastic custom cookie nesters either. A length of corrugated white paper was folded in on itself to form rows, and cookies were accessed from the top, row by row. A metal twist tie allowed for freshness.0

I picked up some red velvet Oreos today for the first time, and they are amazing....I may have had a few too many.
So worth it.0 -

That's the way I remember them, too. Sometimes progress is not a good thing. I usually have to put the cookies in a large resealable bag to keep them fresh.0 -
