Yes, but when are we going to get Double-Stuff (sp)? Plain oreos are a little too dry for my taste.

If I lived in America they'd certainly be one of my vices.

Poor Meemer-Chile! I can just see her having a white-lardy-sugar orgy ("a little something sweet") then hiding the evidence of her crime. Wish I'd been alive back then---I'd have been her accomplice by eating the choc wafers, and doing a better job disposing of the empty package!:):)

My mother, as a child, got a back of those cookies and scraped the middles out to eat, then hid the bag with the unused black parts behind the sofa so no one would discover. But when her mother found out, she got into so much trouble that my mother still talked about the episode for the next 50 years. I think there was a lot of spanking, yelling and not being allowed to go out of her room for the next 24 hours.

That lardy center is actually the stuff of artery-cloggin', but hey, *chacun a' son gout* as the French say. I dislike sugar, but adore salt---so Sugar Addict, you'll be battling diabetes, and I'll be battling hypertension, but we'll all be in the Ole Folkses Home together! Tell ya what---I'll give you my Oreos if you'll pass me those pretzels!

That lardy, hydrogenated, oh-so-sickeningly-sweet white centre is the stuff of dreams. Double-stuf, nothing, where's my Triple-stuf?

Such a good post...I must say, even though I wqs born 'n' bred in de Briar Patch (American South) I found Oreos much, much too sweet from birth (or teething stage, more accurately.) As a tot I'd meticulously scrape out that white stuff in the middle, and enjoy those dark-chocolate wafers with a nice afternoon cocktail (of milk.) As I aged, it was interesting to learn that some people did just the reverse---would salvage the white gunk and eat it, discarding the choc wafers!

We could make a racial metaphor out of this, I suppose, but I think it's probably just a function of taste buds...
