What is so good about a sugary, black coloured biscuit with sugary white filling, neither having any flavour? Maybe you poor thing, have never tried yummy biscuits?

    So you posted to tell Americans we have crappy taste in junk food?

    And I doubt they would sell Oreos there, if no Brits liked them.

    I love how they taste, I love the assortment of flavors they now come in, and I especially love the double-stuffed variety. I don't eat them all the time, but they are definitely one of my favorite treats.

    I'll sit over here in America and keep on eating them while still losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

    So there's no crappy tasting food whatsoever in the UK? It is strictly an American thing? Okay. Gotcha. And Oreo's are delicious...

    There's a venn diagram here somewhere.

    I was never in love with oreo cookies. Honestly never could understand what the hype was about. I'm pretty sure if I were to take a bit of one now it'd end up in the trash.

    I personally remove the gritty middle and eat only the cookie. Then, when applicable, chase my kids around with delicious scary blackness all in my teeth!

    Try boiling the life out of them. Maybe they'll suit your taste then.

    Sometimes, I'll stick em in milk and wait until they sink
    Sometimes, I'll bite into them whole
    Sometimes, I'll separate the cookie and filling
    Sometimes, I'll eat them in ice cream

    I know you can make things at home, blah blah blah
    Oreos and Pop Tarts still make me happy <3

    White fudge covered Oreo's are what I imagine heaven is. Trolly post! I don't like Jello and find it utterly repulsing but, I don't bother making a forum topic about it because everyone has their own opinions on food. None better than the other.

    Oh no you di'nt, lol! Seriously, my Nana was British, and as a child, I dreaded eating at her house. 30 years later, and 20 since her passing, I wish for one more tea at Nana's :'(

    ETA: Oh, I can't pass up the chance to enter a cookie/biscuit argument. I'm American to the core, and Oreos are nasty. Except for the Cakesters, but they discontinued those years ago. I hate you forever and will never forgive you, Nabisco!

    Reasons why you're wronger than wrong:
    1) Milk
    2) Ice Cream
    3) Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
    4) Oreo cheesecake
    5) Oreos
    6) Original Oreos, in particular
    7) Double Stuf
    8) Triple Double
    9) My wife's chocolate cookie cheesecake with Oreo crust and Oreos folded in and crumbled Oreos on top
    10) Milk
    11) Oreo balls
    12) Milk
    13) Cream filling
    14) They're literally so good that the Chinese sent spies to America to try to steal the secret recipe for the cream filling (true story)
    15) Oreo fluff
    16) Milk
    17) http://www.thedipr.com/
    18) Cookies and cream milkshakes
    19) Oreo McFlurries
    20) You can soak em in milk until they're soft and mushy then press em up against the roof of your mouth with your tongue
    21) You call em biscuits. Biscuits are bread that you put butter, jam and/or gravy on.
    22) Cream filling
    23) Chocolate
    24) Milk
    25) Oreo balls
    26) I can fit more of them in my mouth than you can and you're just jealous.

    I love you and your passion toward snacks, and keen gif selections. But bless your heart, you're still wrong.
