    They jumped the shark at the cookie dough Oreos.

    This ^^^^^^

    Wrong and wrong. Those are the only Oreos I eat!


    Do you even oreo? The only acceptable oreo is the original or the double stuffed original lol.
    They jumped the shark with anything other than those two.

    Glad that I'm not the only one that thinks this. the original is the best, I can't stand all the over the top stuff companies add to their snacks anymore.

    Lol, I thought they totally did that with the Birthday Cake Oreo's.

    Ohhhhh yum! Those ones are sooo good!! And then they made my life even harder by turning that yummy yummy birthday cake Oreo into a damn ice cream flavour...bought it for the kids and told myself I could have a serving once a week and everytime I open the freezer it's just sitting there looking all delicious...testing my willpower....oh man...

    I don't think I have ever heard the term "jumped the shark".

    Also, I wanted a pumpkin thread to pop up so I could use this. I have no other input.

    I ha to have it explained to me about a month ago- I was so pumped to see it used and I knew what it was.

    Toward the end of the show as it was winding down/losing credibility, The Fonz jumped a shark (tank??) on his motorcycle at some point toward the end of the show- and it was a joke after that- they had pretty much run out of things to do and that was the best they could come up with- so it's kind of like a "well we don't have anything else- let's just try this ridiculous thing" expression.

    This place is better than Google some days! Thanks! :happy: :flowerforyou:

    I don't know if I even consider the blonde version of Oreos to be legit. Pumpkin spice? Go to starbucks or suck down one of those glade fresheners!

    I'll try them. I love all things pumpkin.
  • Last year they had candy corn flavored Oreos and thru were incredible!

    I've seen the pumpkin spice, Halloween orange colored and even Carmel Apple but no candy corn.

    Come back to me candy corn flavored goodness

    If I recall... The Fonz was on water skis (complete with leather jacket) and jumped a caged shark.

    I'm a standard or double stuff.

    The birthday cake ones make me gag- I can barely put them near my face- they are not good- I tried- I wanted to try... by thankfully my BF liked them so they disappeared- I stopped "trying" them after that.

    standard/double stuff all the way.
    If I recall... The Fonz was on water skis (complete with leather jacket) and jumped a caged shark.

    that was just how it was explained to me- I honestly wasn't around for that... but thankfully- we have google. so I stand correct- ski's - no motorcycle.

    And yes Fonzie Jumps the shark. there it is on youtube.
    And yes- he is on ski's - very dramatic music- and yeah- he's still in his jacket- which I don't understand.

    but the point stands- over the top ridiculous. and indeed- it is.

    Oreos can never Jump the Shark!

    Pringles on the other hand... peppermint white chocolate pringles??? Ok... those were actually pretty good... but I think some of these are FrankenFoods.

    I mostly agree. The only exception being the Mint Oreo.

    Also, I have never heard the expression, "jumped the shark" before.

    Am I the only one that's slightly disappointed that it's not chocolate wafers with pumpkin spice??

    Nonetheless, I do need these in my life like right now.

    My coworker bought a pack and said she loved them. I'm almost tempted to get some, even though the only Oreos I eat (like every 18 months or so) are the mint ones.

    Chicken n' Waffles flavored lays taste so ungodly awful. Like sugar-coated, long-dead human flesh. I prefer that stuff fresh.

    I saw this... I'm kind of meh about it.
    I really don't like pumpkin spice at all- I'm like the only white girl I know- not in yoga pants- uggs and loving my pumpkin spice latte- just no thanks.

    So yeah- I'll be passing.

    How did you know what I was wearing and drinking today?

    I am making the above for my graduate lab at university come Halloween. Those pumpkin oreos may just come in handy, will have to keep an eye out.

    I don't compare the oreo flavors because.. they're different flavors. 'Tf? lol

    If I'm in the mood for an original oreo, I'll eat an original oreo. If I'm in the mood for bday cake oreo, I'll eat one of those. And so on.

    I am 35 and this is this the first year I have tried anything pumpkin flavored I had a pumpkin spiced latte from Dunkin Donuts. It was pretty good. I won't be trying those oreos though the original are the best!

    1) how are watermelon Oreos?

    They taste like some exec at Nabisco headquarters got hold of his kids' weed and developed the glorious idea of turning a Jolly Rancher into a cookie.

    They are really gross....
    even on weed.

    I'll tell you what is pure sin though.

    Jiff Whipped Peanut Butter and Chocolate. Do not be alone in the room with this stuff.
