Oreo Cookies

Bob Harris

The first time I had an Oreo I remember thinking 'is this it?'. Couldn't understand the fuss. They seem to be more popular for being cool than being nice biscuits.

Only bought them cause they were 75 cent in Dealz.

Don't see what all the fuss is about. They taste exactly like the bourbon creams you can get in lidlyaldi for 19 cent.

Gimme Maryland chocolate chips and a litre of ice-cold milk any day over Oreos. They are overrated.

Oreos are mank.

They look pretty though.

Agree 100%. Seen them on American TV shows and movies for years and when I finally got one it was absolute muck. Same as twinkies

I think Twinkies have a shelf-life of twenty years.

If pregnant women eat them the child could have birth defects. Well that's a slight exaggeration but Twinkies I believe were made in a lab.

Nope, I’d still think they were shite. Them being American is no coincidence though. Even American friends of mine lament the poor quality of American confectionery. If Oreos were made elsewhere, they’d probably be nicer.

There is nothing good at all about American basic foodstuffs. Their milk is shit, their butter is shit. Their cheese is shit. Have you ever tried Wonderbread? Christ, talk about synthetic. Their chocolate is shit. Try a Hershey Bar....absolute garbage. We don't need to get onto their beer. Their bacon? Are you having a laugh? Their eggs are dire. Battery farmed, tasteless with lemon yellow yolks instead of a nice light orange hue that results from a chicken who's actually walked around for a portion of her life and eaten proper chicken food.

If water didn't fall from the sky or spring up out of rocks they'd manage to make that taste bad too.

So you’ve never had a bourbon either as they’re nothing like Oreo’s. You should get out more.

They were much better in the US years ago. Then they had to take most of the bad stuff out of them. and now they are bland rubbish. Don't get me started on the daft idea to put them in a cadbury's dairy milk.

They're manky.

Quite worryingly, my kids like them though.

I hope it's not a gateway snack to cheeky bites in Five Goys, aspirational American hoodies, and hanging around Dundrum

Totes mainstream now.

Oreos are nice enough.

- have they stopped making Toffee Pops? I haven't been able to find them the last few times I was in Ireland; now they were the Rolls Royce of filled-biscuits.

Or Cafe Noir.

Addiction in a packet.

Oreos are grand, I like to chew them up and then take a sip of milk, mix it together in my mouth and then swallow.

Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches are f*cking amazing though



Not to be confused with a tub or Orea ice cream which is mank.

They're very much still around. My local shop does them for a euro a pack. If you're stuck, Aldi have their own ones called Toffeepopsicles!

I think if I lived in America I'd never eat another biscuit or sweet again. Considering Oreos and Twinkies are two of their most popular biscuits/sweets I'd hate to taste what they consider inferior.

I think if I lived in the US again, I would probably stuff myself with double cream Oreos for the first week and get it out of my system and then not eat any ever again. So easy to get sick of them when they are more readily available.

You'd change your tune once you tried Milk Duds.

Reese's cups are pretty good. A bit sweet, but good.

I tried a five guys burger the other week. Absolute rubbish it was.

You can stick your Fix's up your swiss, though.

No way, man, Fox’s are nice.

Literally the worst biscuits in the world.

Cadbury Roundie biscuits are very very tasty. I had to spread the good news.
