I tried Oreos and I really don't see what the fuss is about. Just seem like your A typical mass produced crap made from the cheapest left over ingredients they could find.

JMHO though.

Left over? From what process were the ingredients left over? They're just bulk food ingredients that meet current federal standards for bulk food ingredients, meaning they are 100 times better than the best food any of your remoter ancestors ever got their hands on.

oreos + cream cheese = life changing. you'll probably gain 36 pounds overnight but it's completely worth it.

They are leftover from construction sites. The cookie might as well be drywall and the filling has the exact texture of Spackle.

Yeah, but it's drywall and spackle with a lot of sugar added. That's the important thing, people love drywall and spackle as long as it's sweet.

Buy the double cream Oreos. Put 2 Oreos in a class of water, wait 10minutes, you then see all the fatty oily glup floating around the surface. Omg, never eating Oreos again.

Oh yeah, I thank god every day I don't eat non genetically modifed vegetables and freshly slaughtered meat. I don't know what I would do without cookies.

Especially ones with all this natural goodness.

I will tell you something now and if you believe it or not is completly your choice. Every single item on that list is either a cheaper version of something else that would taste better or a left over product of another manufacturing process that was being thrown in landfill before they realised they could make food from it. It is how the food industry works.

Is that how your boyfriend did his research after blowing his grant money betting on Argentina?

love the cookie part, not a big fan of the hydrogenated death paste in the middle.

Sugar? Cocoa? Leavening? Cornstarch? Chocolate? Salt? These are all cheap versions of what? Or they were going to be thrown away? In fact, I think the only thing on that list used as a cheap alternative is vanillin. If they used real vanilla the price of Oreos would probably double. Even high oleic oil isn't that bad. It's a healthier alternative to trans-fat.

What is high oleic oil?

It's the new hotness used in place of trans-fat since that is no longer an option. It means oil high in monounsaturated fat and low in polyunsaturated fat, which means it is much more shelf-stable.

I see that big words are frightening to you. I'd like to engage you further in this conversation, but I am about to eat a freshly slaughtered free range organic hot dog for lunch.

Unbleached flour? Impressive.

Sure it's a brown cookie, but we're also the society that has bleached toilet paper. We wouldn't want that to be slightly off-white now, would we? (I've seen unbleached toilet paper. It's also white. :confused:)
