I’ve noticed this before. I think there’s just more fat in the creme filling. Besides making them easier to open, it makes the filling taste richer. It also makes them worse for you, but honestly its not like they were a health food before this.

I think it’s not so much that there’s more fat as there’s different ones; Kraft was going for a no trans fat reformulation. Trans fats have higher melting points (which is why they were used in many baked goods) and so the filling may end up being mushier as a result.

Brandi’s right – it’s the transfats.

If you really want to be surprised, try one of the “Oreo Cakester” cookies.

How do people feel about double-stuff Oreos? I’m convinced they’re a conspiracy as well.

I’m fine with the Double-Stuf Oreos, and I don’t even mind when they add food coloring to the goo during the holidays (although that red they use for Christmas is a bit…vivid); but they had BETTER quit putting flavorings in the Oreo goo, or I’m gonna hunt me down some Nabisco executives. The mint “flavor” is especially crappy.

Actually, I always found Double Stuff Oreos easier to open. They just twist cleaner for me.

As a kid my Uncle told me they reason that they were called Oreos is because the creme was made from oleo and the factory workers were oriental and mispromounced the main ingredient.

I was raised by old New York Jews, not exactly known for their abundance of political correctness. I, of course, knew better than this.

How this relates to the creme issue, I do not know. But I do agree with MGK. It was much harder to geta perfect split on an Oreo when I was a kid.

I don’t know, I never twisted my Oreos. The only thing that makes those little burnt black crackers palatable is the creme in the middle; why would I possibly deprive myself of that?

I guess that this means it’s now harder to scrape the white part off and into the garbage? With the harder, dryer formula, you could often just flip the little icing-puck off with a butter knife.
I’m one of those who like the cookie and not the filling, though the nasty sweet goo is tolerable if the thing is eaten as a whole.

Meh, I thought it was what they added to the water that put rainbows in it. They never had rainbows in the water when I was a kid.

Fatty goo squished between dry, tasteless cookies. Can’t stand any aspect of the wretched things.

Whatever it is, it worked. Kate Winslet won her Golden Globe.

Next stop, Oscar.

If you don’t like the creme of Oreos (I’m okay with it but I never liked Double Stuf ones), look for Nabisco’s Famous Chocolate Wafers, which are just what they sound like (and usually sold more to people making pie crusts than to cookie eaters).

On an aside, Newman’s Own Ginger Newman-O’s are pretty darn good.

Oreos are the worst of the white goo between black cookies sandwich cookies.

You’re right – now that I think of it, my childhood was filled with failed oreo separations. Now, however, I’ve been doing it absent-mindedly and quietly feeling inexplicably disappointed inside…

Well, the reason has something to do with J’onn Jonzz.

The BEST are the Double-Stuff Chocolate Filling Oreos. I can eat a bag of those in one sitting.

You were high and on the munchies when you wrote/ realized that, right? It seemed like such a recognizable insight.

You just made me realize that I haven’t eaten an Oreo cookie in over two years. TWO YEARS. How did that even happen? It’s not like I even tried to diet much. Now I have to buy a box and find out what you’re talking about on my next trip to the grocery store.

What kind of oreos were you eating? The regular ones or the mint ones? Because the mint ones pop open given a little twist. I find the white ones as gooey as ever…but any oreos I’ve eaten lately are a tad too gooey for my taste. (Granted, as a poor college student, I can only afford off-brands…)

I agree with Brandi, Newman-O’s are the way to go. The ginger and chocolate are both far superior to Oreos.

My favorite thing to do as a kid was get the Double Stuffs, open them, scrape off the frosting and eat it, throwing away the cookies. My mom got so pissed when she found out I was doing that!

I have another issue: It seems oreos are dryer and harder now. They do not get as soft as quickly when you dip them in mild. Has anyone else noticed this?
