ktmoomau Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I didn't see a thread on oreo's. I am really a sucker for the original oreo and a glass of milk. It was my cookie of choice growing up. I haven't loved a lot of the flavored Oreo's, BUT I will give a shout out to the thin salted caramel Oreo's. I think they are really good. I wanted to try birthday cake with vanilla cookie, but haven't seen it around when I grocery shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The mint ones don't suck, and of course Double Stuf is a gift from the gods, but most of the rest of them are not worth the calories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NolaCaine Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Do y'all remember Hydrox? When I was poor and growing up, my mom would get a pound of Hydrox for 99 cents. My two little brothers and I would eat them as our Friday night entertainment. Yes, Oreos were better, but Hydrox weren't bad either. Double stuffs...might have to put those on the grocery list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The originals were my favorite growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hydrox were my choice over Oreos.. Thin Oreos more like Hydrox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to dip whole, but prior to DoubleStuf, we'd open up, make our own DoubleStuf, and eat the two outside cookies separately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrox were thicker, and with a fluffier biscuit. The crème was less dense and sweet - in essence, they were more "airy" than Oreo. While bigger, they probably both weighed about the same per cookie. Now, if you want to go with Chips Ahoy, we start talking about portions defined in "columns" as the basic unit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had a little juice glass/shot glass at my Aunt's house that I used just for milk to dip cookies in, I think she still has it. It had a paddlewheel boat on it, I assume they got in NOLA. As far as sweets go, we didn't get a lot of non-homemade items- Oreo and plain vanilla ice cream with hershey's syrup were probably the most frequent store bought desserts we got.

weezy Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I gave up on Oreos when the transfats were taken out. Totally changed the texture of the filling and made them unpalatable to me. I still like the chocolate cookie part, but I'd rather pull them apart, scrape the original filling out, and put a schmear of something else on top of the cookies.

Sundae in the Park Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Oreo cookies are the best! My favorite growing up except when I was in the mood for vanilla cookies (Vienna Fingers, which I can't find any more ). Nowadays they are the only cookie I buy from the regular store, though sometimes cookies from Trade Joe's sneak in the basket. If you crush a couple and top your ice cream with them, it's just about as good as going to Cold Stone. And the oreo cookie pie crust is my definition of holiday decadence. Original only, as I think the new flavors (excepting double-stuffed) are a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithA Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Recently tried the Megastuff variety - seemed like 2.5-3 times the original or 1.5 double stuff filling ratio. They were good no doubt but seemed a bit much, I'll probably stick to double stuff. I like the original but double stuffed are more of a good thing. Also yes you have to eat at least one with pulling off the cream, but I like eating the cookie whole too so I tried to do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIShGo Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Speaking of store-bought cookies, the best I have tried are "Whisked! American Classics," baked and packaged in DC. I buy them at The Organic Butcher of McLean and at Streets Market in Del Ray. Their Pretzel Cowboy Cookies are my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always scraped it out and threw it away. Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers are quite nice, and cookie-wise, very close. Better - NewmanOs have both good cookies and good cream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hate to say it, but Nabisco Famous Wafers have changed. It was do disappointingly noticeable that I called the company to complain. Not chocolaty enough anymore- I guess those transfats really had an effect on flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
