    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

    I have never seen a gingerbread oreo! Where?

    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!!!

    I'm beginning to show signs of similarities to Pavlov's dogs...

    Every time I open this thread, I pop another Oreo...

    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.

    DAMN YOU JUGGERNAUT! I caved in an bought some oreo mint thins.

    Might be the pregnancy talking but I didn't like them even though I do love Girl scouts thin mints. Me thinks they are too sweet...and they are thin so I can't even scrape off the cream without breaking it to pieces. Life is a oreodeal

    Homemade (which coincidentally is produced by United Dairy Farmers and only available in the greater Cincinnati area).

    Yes

    Going to mix the Oreos into some gelato/ice cream?

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

    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...

    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?

    I know that this is entirely off of Oreo topic but this really makes me want coldstone cake batter icecream ...

    Wait...wait..Cake batter Oreo! Now that should be a thing! <3

    I've decided that at some point when I have a day where calories don't matter, I'm going to soak a bunch of Oreos in just enough milk that when I blend them they make a thick Oreo "pudding." Then I'll eat it with a spoon.
