I have never seen a gingerbread oreo! Where?

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.1

Lime? LIME???? Where did you find the lime?? That one has been so elusive.
I swear, we need an oreo exchange system around here.1 -

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 oreodeal0 -

Are you popping the Oreo because you opened the thread, or are you opening the thread because you are popping the Oreo?
Yes0 -

Homemade (which coincidentally is produced by United Dairy Farmers and only available in the greater Cincinnati area).0 -

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!

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.1

You could always just put enough milk in teh mini oreo container to make them mushy and i think itd have the same effect. I like to pour my milk in the container and eat them like cereal from time to time.0 -

Yup. The only thins I haven't tried are the golden ones. The idea of Oreo Thins sounds silly but they're honestly great.CooCooPuff wrote: »
Oreo mint thins are pretty nice. I've never had regular Oreos mints but really enjoy the cream to cookie ratio in thins.juggernaut1974 wrote: »rajeana_421 wrote: »juggernaut1974 wrote: »nutmegoreo wrote: »rajeana_421 wrote: »Hi! I just wanted to put it on the record that I LOVE oreos. I simply questioned why he had purchased 3 family size packs for the 2 of us. It was an innocent misunderstanding.
I have to say, you look much less confused than the picture we were provided with. Nice to meet you!
I dunno...I'm still hung up on the mint oreo thing...
They both seem somewhat confused about this to me.
I have actually never tried the mint Oreo, mostly because I only like some mint and chocolate candies. So I never took a chance with the mint Oreo since I know I love the original.
Don't let your hubby's poor taste influence you....;)
I highly recommend them crumbled on top of ice cream (mint chocolate chip ice cream, if you're really feeling saucy)
OMG they have the thins in mint?!
i loved the original mint ones but thought there was a bit too much cream.
(same with the lemon ones!)
According to the new products thread, lemon thins are on their way!
AWESOME!0 -

But that cookie part though...they need to sell that by themselves
i you!
i scrape off the cream and throw it away.
Better than the person at work who took the cream off the cookie & then threw the cookie back in the package.
ewww.
although, one time i did put all the cream into a baggie and a friend at work ate it one day with a spoon....
*shudder*1 -
I completely missed all of this...
but I bought the red velvet ones- epic let down.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to never ever buy specialty oreos again. I'm constantly disappointed- regular and double stuff are my go-to's and I'm NEVER sad. EVER.0
