    I was in the ice cream isle the other day and was deciding on what to pick up. I really wanted another box of the mint oreo ice cream sandwiches, but opted to try a Klondike bar. It tasted like bitter disappointment. I am full of shame and no longer deserve to post in this thread, until I remedy this egregious error.

    Original Oreos with a huge coooooold glass of milk is on par with the finest of desserts ever made.

    I remember being on vacation in Charleston, SC and we went to Costco to pickup some groceries and they were giving out samples of Oreos. I thought "do they really need to market Oreos?" And then I thought "this is my favorite Costco ever!"

    I actually prefer Oreo Thins. They're crunchier.

    Seconded. I only like the chocolate cookie outside. The creme can kick itself out.

    Have you tried the Klondike ice cream sandwiches? I loved those.

    MUD PIE! Oreos and butter with ice cream, hot fudge, cool whip, and pecans.

    Because of this thread, I've found myself checking out the huge selection of oreos in the grocery store, but I'm an old fashioned gal, I guess. Not interested in all the smoke and mirrors of all the new (gross sounding) flavors. But the Klondike bars, yes, and they're on sale this week! Those, I approve of.

    I just needed you to know that the Oreos preformed well for the bike ride this morning AND I did much better than I had anticipated. Just sayin'.

    I couldn't find them, but I did pick up some more of the mint oreo ice cream sandwiches, so I am once again worthy of posting in this thread!

    These came out in Australia. Is tiramisu a regular flavor there? That sounds pretty neat.

    It was posted on April 1st so I'm still skeptical.

    I just tried Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Oreos since I love both. They tasted like neither. Despondence abounds.

    The new strawberry shortcake Oreos are actually pretty good. I put a slab of fresh strawberry on mine to cut the sweetness and to make it "healthier."edr0wf5otsdg.jpeg

    LOL! I'm so gonna say this the next time my coworker says oreos (or anything) are bad for me. :)

    Edited because good grammar is your friend.

    I dont think the suggested serving size for oreos and for what calories they will cost me to eat them are worth it but have you tried the oreo yougurts?? omg.. they are yummy and have little oreo bits in them. That is the extent of oreos I eat. If you love them and have the calories to spare... then I guess eat them but I wont be even buying them. My husband would eat the whole package before I even got around to attempting a cookie and that man is borderline on high cholesterol according the docs. So no for him and no for me. To each their own. The closest we get to oreos is an occasional oreo yogurt.

    Ok.... let's see...

    Yocrunch Oreo yogurts are 170 calories. Most of those are from sugar (25g!), with only 5g of protein. For 170 calories you could eat an Oreo and a serving of plain Greek yogurt and you'd get better nutrition for your calories... and only 12g of sugar (and 7 of those from the yogurt) plus 18g of protein.

    Just saying. I don't understand the logic there. I mean, it's totally fine to eat those yogurts obviously, but if you think you're making a better choice, think again.

    Oreos are horrendously overrated. Not bad, but the fact that I have a pack on my desk which is only half finished while having bought about 20 different packets since I acquired the packet originally.... it speaks volumes....

    about your lack of humanity...

    or more likely, that I am a bit classier when it comes to biscuits.....

    You probably don't even know what it is to soak an Oreo in milk until it no longer floats and then squish it between your tongue and the roof of your mouth.

    I am glad I am not like you personally....

    Ingredients

    SUGAR, UNBLEACHED ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE {VITAMIN B1}, RIBOFLAVIN {VITAMIN B2}, FOLIC ACID), PALM AND/OR CANOLA OIL, COCOA (PROCESSED WITH ALKALI), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, CORNSTARCH, LEAVENING (BAKING SODA AND/OR CALCIUM PHOSPHATE), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, VANILLIN - AN ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, CHOCOLATE.CONTAINS WHEAT, SOY.

    two cookies of 20 grams contain 13 grams of sugar. Honestly, I don't see anything yummy in here, and I know Oreos taste artificial and not very rich.

    Never bought oreos. And looking at these I am happy I didn't . But I am sure they taste good as they seem to be very popular.

    You guys have influenced me! I saw all of these at the supermarket last week and bought the lemon ones.
    They are pretty good, I definitely like the thin version better than the regular oreos, the biscuit part is crispier and not so gluey when you eat it.
    But still, they would never win against a Timtam.

    'Tis 8:00 AM...

    I do believe it's time for an Oreo!

    I picked up a package of the limited edition "filled cupcake" ones last night...I'll be trying one of those later today.

    Do report your findings.

    I ranked them just below the brownie batter.

    I'd agree - middle of the road as far as Oreos go (I couldn't wait and had to have one!)

    Better than the chocolate cream, birthday cake, brownie batter, and golden

    About equal to red velvet, cinnamon bun (though probably slightly behind all of these)

    Below Regular, Double Stuff, Mint

    Of the ones I've tried, I would rank them as so:

    Champion: Original

    First Tier Winners: Triple Double, Double Stuf, Brownie Batter, Filled Cupcake, Reese's - (in order)

    Second Tier Winner: Cinnamon Bun

    Losers: Mint

    IDK. I tried the strawberry shortcake ones and I had a devil of a time trying to stop eating them! And the smell . . . OMG Heaven must smell like that! Also, I liked the Reese's peanut butter cup Oreos and the Red Velvet Oreos. The cream cheese filling in the Red Velvet Oreos - delicious!
