There has been a fair bit of hype surrounding the release of the new Triple Double Oreo, but when you get right down to it, there's not really much to be excited about. Nabisco has taken a regular Oreo cookie, and—wait for it—stuck on an extra layer of chocolate cream filling and then a third chocolate wafer cookie, to make an Oreo that's roughly two-thirds larger than the standard-issue model.
The "chocolate" nature of that extra layer of filling may be what's got people so excited, but there's good news and bad news about that. The good news is that it tastes precisely like the "vanilla" layer, so the overall Oreo experience is essentially unchanged: a mouthful of cocoa-flavored crumbles and some slightly sweetened, gooey, caulklike filling for balance. The bad news is that the "chocolate" layer tastes precisely like the "vanilla" layer, so what's the point? You're just eating exactly the same cookie, only larger.
And while it has long been acknowledged that Oreos ain't diet food, there's something exceptionally depressing about eating three of these things and thinking: "Well, there go 300 of the most empty, processed calories I could possibly consume." Also, "Serving Size 1 Cookie" my butt. I can think of three people who might be able to eat one single Oreo at a time: Nelson Mandela, Richard Simmons, and Bill Murray, although I may just have an unreasonably positive opinion of Bill Murray.
Bring back Hydrox cookies! Newman-O's are a close substitute.
The original Oreo is constructed with Golden Proportions... IMHO these cookie-towers and the double stuff should be banned...
What's the point of making a cookie filling brown if it will taste like vanilla? I don't get it. I'm not fond at all of Oreos, and I will never understand what the fuss is about. Coming from Argentina, I prefer other cookies similar to Oreos, but with a sweeter type of chocolate and less filling; I don't like rich and super sweet vanilla fillings.
You might happen to see Bill Murray eat more than one Oreo at a time, but no one will ever believe you.
The last big development of "Double Stuff Oreos" left me wanting a "Half Stuff Oreo" I love the cookie bit but hate the overly sweet filling.
In the Netherlands, I really love the white chocolate covered oreos but I can only have one at a time. They are just so rich.
Oreos and milk.. how many times have they changed the formula?.. With over 491 billion Oreo cookies sold since they were first introduced, they are the best selling cookie of the 20th century... the world loves Oreos. The last Oreo I had was probably 5 or 10 years ago. I don't dislike or like them, I think.. maybe I should put it on the list of things to do. "Taste Oreo cookie again.".. Ha!
;)
We love these oreos, well the cookies only. The icing in the middle is just too sweet. I reccomend that Oreos should lower the sugar content of the icing. :)
Oreo's ... kinda like guide cookies. whatever
Clearly this is what must be done with them in order to score more taste stars: http://www.bitrebels.com/lifestyle/chocolate-covered-deep-fried-triple-double-oreos/
I can't believe how happy it makes me that you mentioned Bill Murray in a food review.
Just pipe that sugary goo down into my gullet. I have lost the will to live.
Newman-O's are so much better (and less gimmicky) than Oreos, any day. Plus there's a ginger flavor. I don't care that they're organic, more that actually taste like something.
