    Just had my first ever few oreo cookies.
    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.

    You dunk them in milk and you rip the two bits apart and lick out the cream.

    Come back to us when you have had the true Oreo experience.

    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

    Indeed, nothing like a bourbon. At least you can dunk and enjoy a bourbon.

    Preach. Nithing beats a pack of custard creams and tea to banish the January blues.

    Oreo milkshakes are lovely though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,083 ✭✭✭KilOit


    Try Dairymilk Oreo's

    This thread really takes the biscuit cookie


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭_Dara_


    In a world where Fox’s biscuits and Ginger Nuts exist, I can’t understand stand why anyone would choose Oreos. The predominant flavour is sugar.

    American confectionery is generally inferior.

    They're horrible. It's chocolate digestives or nothing. For the record Aldi dark chocolate digestives are the nicest ones out there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,995 ✭✭✭Sofiztikated


    The very fact that you can get Cookies N Cream flavoured Oreos makes me smile.

    Oreo flavoured Oreos, **** me, there's someone that will go places.

    They're ****e though.

    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.

    The Oreos in shops are not made in the US. I think the ones in the US have a more appealing taste.

    Have you tasted both to compare?

    Don't get the how they are so popular myself,they are no Cadbury chocolate fingers!!

    As an officenado of cream biscuits I find Oreos to be similar to borbon creams and neither are to my liking.

    Now orange creams go down by the packet as do fox's ginger crunch creams and viennese raspberry and cream.

    I've gone off Custard creams, but like Nice creams the odd time again by the packet.

    Raspberry creams are a little too sweet.

    Jammy dodgers, the biscuit is too dry.

    Aw i love oreos. I found an amazing gluten free version of them in tenerife and went through a bunch of packets of them.
    Choc hob nobs are great too.

    Agreed. Biscuits in general never done it for me. They glue to your teeth and oftentimes contain way too much sugar.

    Ginger Nuts! Good shout.

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

    They might have been good once, but like most things from the USA, they get worse over time. As they get popular, they ramp up mass-production; replacing quality ingredients with cheaper "equivalents". Tweaking the recipes so production takes less time and fewer steps, and the product has a longer shelf-life. And so on, and so on.

    Ever had a Twinkie? Those things will potentially last forever. After World War III, when only cockroaches survive on this planet, they'll live off Oreos, Twinkies, and Ramen noodles.
