Note that little kids, when first confronted with an Oreo, will immediately “unscrew” the cookie from the cream and eat the cream first. It seems to be an instinctual thing. All four of our kids, and all 8 grandkids behaved the exact same way…and they never saw a demonstration of the technique. Interesting…
I picked up a box of the oreo ‘mega-more-cream-than-any-other-oreo’ cookies, mostly out of curiosity. There actually *is* too much cream. I can only eat one at a time, and even that’s a bit too much.
But I keep eating them….
I accidentally bought a party sized package last week (after working out for an hour) and was sooo disappointed when I opened it in the car on my way home and found out they were just regular oreos.
I draw the line at anything past double stuff; mega stuff is too much and regular is too little.
If you prefer the cookies you should try Nabisco’s Famous Chocolate Wafers (if you can find them). They’re essentially the same thing without the cream.
Unrelated note: viewing the site on a mobile device still takes me to https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/sock-and-roll/ from Friday. I can access this page just fine if I access it from the archive, but I can’t reach this from Sock and Roll or the homesite. Anyone else having this problem?
Looks like it HAS been resolved since I posted that. That being said, I appreciate someone noticing that someone else has had a problem despite not suffering that same problem, and speculating causes. You have my praise.
No, it has not been resolved.
Usually the main page shows me whatever I viewed last when I come back next morning, but today it also took me to sock-and-roll – although I already had visited this page here.

That sounds more like an effect of your browser settings, but the primary problem I’ve been having was an inability to access cookies-and-cream-and-cream-and-cream by clicking the forward arrow on sock-and-roll. If you’re not having THAT problem, that’s a different anomaly (but not one to be dismissed, either)
The classic Oreo cookie is made using eleven main ingredients:
The Cookie
Unbleached enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamine mono-nitrate (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid) – was just “enriched white flour” for a while there [pine flour]
Cocoa (treated with alkali)
Leavening agent (baking soda and/or monocalcium phosphate)
Salt
Chocolate
Please note the lack of sugar in the cookie to better contrast the filling.
Filling – just fats and sugar
Sugar
High oleic canola oil and/or palm oil and/or canola oil
High-fructose corn syrup
Corn starch – Binder and thickener
Soy lecithin – Fatty Binding agent
Vanillin – Artificial Vanilla flavour

In the meantime there remains Oreo O’s cereal. It’s the little things that makes life still worth living.

Try Hydrox, the original cream-between-two-cookies. The cookie part is better than Oreo.
The problem is the name …

No idea what you’re talking about, Adam. I eat Oreo cookies FOR the cookies.

Works fine for me, Chrome on an android phone. Could be just you or whatever your particular situation is, or it got resolved in the past 18 hours.

I mean, they will sell you jars of icing, and it doesn’t say anywhere that you have to actually put the icing on cakes before you eat it.
Speaking of which, I need to go, eh… iron my dog.

The thing I love about Oreos is that they are vegan, so I can eat them!
