it's all about the mint oreos. They have more cream but not as much as the double stuf ones and they're MINTY to boot.

Robyn and I were just talking about how scared we were of the flavored-cream Oreos. Coffee and mint and the like. sounded icky. Granted, I've never actually tried them, but have already passed judgement. so what kind of person am I? I must at least experience the Mint before I condemn it.

So Nuala, because of your recommendation I will endeavor to try these Mint Oreos. I'll remain skeptical for now, but take your suggestion under advisement. I'm always looking for ways to improve my Oreo experience.

mmmm, coffee. yum. i love the double stuf, only because they are so thick that i have to hold them in milk (completely submerged so the whole cookie softens up), which numbs my fingers, but a good cookie is worth suffering for.

btw, the strawberry shortcake newtons are REALLY good.

btw2, i'm planning a tour of the It's It factory. Taking reservations.

it's it!

um, that was not me chiming in for a reservation.

i like the fudge covered oreos too. mmm more chocolate can never be wrong.

I'm skeptical of the coffee and peanut butter oreos, but as my roommate said when she tried the minty ones, "It's a great substiute while you wait for thin mints to come into season again."

Nummy...Damn. Now I want some.

i'd imagine the misspelling is a misguided attempt at trademarking the name. "double stuff" is descriptive and therefore unprotectable, but "doublestuf" looks like a made-up word, which would normally be a protectable "fanciful" term. of course, courts have consistently held that trivial misspellings don't render terms any less descriptive, but at the very least the characteristic spelling may deter competitors from using it. so, "double stuff hydrox" is more likely than "doublestuf hydrox."

then again, either one might be trademarked because nabisco could argue that the use of the word "stuff" (or "stuf") to refer to lard filling is arbitrary, or at least descriptive with secondary meaning, in which case hydrox couldn't use the word "stuf(f)" at all to refer to their filling.

sorry. IP final's in a week.

also, i'm pretty sure they changed the recipe a few years ago to make it a lot hard to separate regular oreos. i haven't been able to do it consistently since i was a young'n.

I can't comment on those weird, not-as-God-intended-them-to-be-flavored cream Oreos, but I will tell you that the chocolate cream ones are both delicious and not unvegan in any way that's apparent to me without extensive research. The regular and double stuf ones blatantly flaunt their whey and milk solids, and I can't be having that kind of attitude in my cookies, thank you very much.

I whole heartedly agree with you, Kati. About the method of consumption, the problem of milk absorbtion in DoubleStuf, and all the rest. You have hit the cream-filled nail on the proverbial chocolate cookie head. Original is the way to go...although mint does sound rather tempting.

Suprise, surprise - Cody mentioned Newtons! You're obsessed, man. I have so many early memories of being high at Cody's house and suddenly realizing that I had consumed a whole row of Fruit Newtons.

And to address the oreo issue: As of about 3 months ago, I was pretty Oreo inexperienced. I'd had Oreo's, mind you, but we'd never had them in my *home* - like, a whole package of them. I never knew the joys of eating oreos at every meal of the day, until now. Thank you, Kati, for bringing them into my life the way you and BJ have. Regular, Doublestuf - I'll take what I can get.

what do you get when you grind up isaac asimov and use him has filling for a small snack cake?

an isaac newton.

thank you, thank you very much.

Bam!! All I have to say is mint Oreos are God damn good-
Nothing beats thin mints and little green girls, but I support them all around.
Their minty tastiness wets my palette every time, real 'kick it up a notch' kind of stuff.

"DoubleStuf" is one word and since it doesn't exist in any language Nabisco can trademark the name.
Double Stuff they can not
It would be like Paris Hilton crazy atempt at tyring to trademark "It's Hot", you can't do it.

I think the phrase was "That's Hot", since we're nitpicking.
