Cookies with fat are much tastier. I don't like Snackwells. Way too sweet for my taste.3

Too artificial and sweet tasting for me.2

Snackwells were created and marketed in response to the now debunked U.S. gov't war on fat. Snackwells are part of the problem of the global increase in obesity, diabetes, and early death.7

Really???
Yes. Snackwells are the epitome of the Western "fat-phobia..." That ingredient/nutrition profile is a joke.3 -
I remember them being huge in the 90's low fat fad,I thought I could pig out on those,bagels,dry cereal,bread,etc and not gain weight cuz it was all "low fat" that Susan Powder (remember her?!?)really hyped that up and I was young and gullible so I used to watch her all the time,even read her book haha1

A 50 calorie cookie seems pretty reasonable to me. It's actually fewer calories than many of the cookies that I make at home.1 -

I agree with this, we know now that fat doesn't actually make you overweight, it is overeating that does that. Flexible eating lets you eat whatever you want as long as you can hit your macro goals and stay either below or at maintenance. Personally, i would rather eat 3 oreos than 3 of these. They have the same calories, Oreo has 7g of fat vs. 0 but has 11g less Carbs and 7 grams less sugar. Now if you like the snackwells, eat them but dont eat them just because they are fat free, they have more sugar and carbs than regular cookies.1 -

I don't think anybody is recommending that someone eat them specifically because they are fat-free.
It's fine for one cookie to have more sugar and carbohydrate than another cookie. That, in and of itself, isn't a problem. As long as someone is meeting their calorie goals, eating a higher carbohydrate cookie isn't going to be an issue.1 -

I think the hate for Snackwells is they are the poster child for products that came out during the low fat craze. They advertised as being "diet" food because they were low fat, but they were barely lower cal than other cookies.
I didn't realize they still sell them, remember not liking them much the last time I had them, which was probably in the 90's

I remember thinking they were the 'old person' cookie since my babysitter bought them for her husband to take for his lunch.0

WOW you are right! Strange because I have a pack in my pantry and it says 70 calories per cookie for the regular kind but website says differently. Not that its that much of a difference lol.

I'm an Oreo Expert.
There are some higher in calories. The ones I generally get are the snack sizes in the sleeves. If I get the bigger packages they have a habit of disappearing. Not sure how that happens...0 -

I actually hunted down a pack of original oreos to come back and prove @dewd2 wrong, but they must have changed the recipe or something because he's right. Regular oreos in the big package are now 160 cals for 3 cookies, according to the label.0 -

For the record, the Halloween Oreos are 70 calories per cookie. Don't ask me how I know this.
