    I normally sing the rich tea praises but picked up a pack of the new J-O's and wow. They are gorgeous . Bit of a rip off that they are near identical to Oreos. Anyone tried them?

    Have a pack here. They are indeed pretty lush.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,198 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Was going to pick some up, but assumed I'd be disappointed when compared to Oreos.

    Might just do it now though.

    Might have to try a pack, they seem to be on offer everywhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,557 ✭✭✭KeithM89


    I refuse to buy them because the ad is so bloody annoying.

    Yeah the ad is annoying but these biscuits are so good. I bought them for my son but I think I'll get through most of them they are very morish. €1 per pack in centra.

    They're not crackers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,293 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker

    I'm jealous. I can't get them here.

    Any ideas for what J O's stands for?

    Well Jacob's Oreos is clearly what's implied.

    What's so great about Oreos? They're grrraaaand, like, but nothing special.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,380 ✭✭✭✭Banjo String


    The Aldi ones are nicer than Oreo, and jayo put together.

    Simply called cookies n cream. Cheaper too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭pharmaton


    If these are the chocolate covered ones then I concur, way too tasty but luckily in they were individually wrapped in double packs so you don't have to sit down and eat them all in one go, but you could do if you wanted. Basically oreos covered in chocolate.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭Ace Attorney


    they are lovely but i think they are a little to soft compared to the crunch of the oreos, still nice tho, ive broken some up and put in a bowl with some plain natural yougurt fckin lovely!

    Yeah they are a tad bit softer than Oreos but my god are they tasty.

    I only very recently had my first Oreo, those things are scrumdiddly, probably best I don't try the Jacobs ones.

    But you're not going to always call them Jacobs J-Os. They'll be just known as J-Os

    Ya cant beat a packet of Neos out of Lidl. Highly recommend a Neo and a Seal bar with a cup of tea.

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Oreos. Don't like the biscuit part of it at all, the inside is ok.

    wished I didn't eat them all I really need chocolate right now and all I have are bananas. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    I refuse to eat a biscuit with such a stupid name.

    Unless it's Cafe Noir.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 13,102 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    They look like a complete rip-off of Oreos...

    The naming of these new biccies is unfortunate - I think of masturbation.

    that's what'll happen them though, they'll be the the ATMs of the biscuit world


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,198 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Picked up a packet of J-O's yesterday and just had 2 with a cup of coffee and you know what? They are nicer than Oreos IMO... one thing that always bugged me about Oreos was how hard the biscuit was.. these are crispier than Oreos but slightly softer.

    Very impressed.. ta for the heads-up OP!


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I shouldn't be eating my Oreos while watching this next top model show or whatever it is but the remote is aaaalllll the way over there >.<
