wonder how many cals in one of those? my guess would be around 120

Double E.L. Fudge Cookies have to be the worst. They're awesome, but man, so bad for you.

Just got Oreos in my country and it sucks. Britannia Pure Magic Biscuits are way better. You guys should try one sometime.

The Big Stuff Oreo discontinued in 1991 contained 316 calories and 13 grams of fat.

Dominoes sold the "pizza oreo", most disgusting thing i ever seen. Not sure if they still do.

Don't forget all of the "cookie and cream" spin-offs there are: Ice cream, shakes, brownies, etc. All of those are essentially oreos plus something else.

Oreos taste awful with the trans fats removed. They've never been the same.

Too much crap. The classic Oreo is the perfect form. Extra "stuff" ruins the balance. This is just a money grab, and it'll be gone within 2 years.

JHumeC, its a business, its all a money grab. Seriously, this has got to be one of the absolute silliest comments I've seen ever on ATOT.

It means they're trying to grab a couple dollars without putting any real work into development. This will be a 1 pack purchase people will make to see what it's about, and it won't be bought again.

Yeah, those bastards, how dare they not have a madhouse R&D department that's simultaneously developing missiles for the military, cold fusion, as well as researching cures for cancer.

Pretty much every food company does stuff like this continuously to drum up some extra publicity and yes it rarely stays in production for a long time, although sometimes it does. I'm not sure what the big deal is though. Most companies don't bother as it just wastes money and they're already in pretty low margin.

The worst part of Oreos is the cookie part. They're like Twinkies. I eat one every few years, thinking I must've just been wrong, and then after one (or maybe 2 with Oreos) I realize there's a reason I don't eat them, they're just not that good.

The delicious was legislated out of oreos...from wiki:

Trans fat content and lawsuit

On May 13, 2003, attorney Stephen Joseph filed a lawsuit charging Nabisco with using hydrogenated (or partially hydrogenated) oils (trans fats) to make the cookies. The suit was dropped as Nabisco considered replacing the hydrogenated oils with alternative oils. Joseph admitted he filed the lawsuit to call attention to the matter, and he considered his motion successful. As of January 2006, classic Oreo cookies are no longer manufactured with hydrogenated oils.[20] Other varieties may not have eliminated hydrogenated oils completely.

The trans-fats had been added to the Oreo recipe to replace its original fat, lard.[21] Earlier outcry regarding these types of saturated fats is what prompted the change to use more unsaturated fats in the first place.[22][23]

Some of you people are retarded. Yes cookies are not good for you but you do know you can still eat sweets and not be fat right unless you people haven't heard of moderation.

That looks disgusting. I agree about the removal of the trans fats, oreos are just not the same.

Safeway around here sells Peanut Butter Cup cookies in their bakery. Those things are heavenly.
