Kotas Reviews Oreo Thins

Ah, Oreos, my old friends. If ever there was a mass market cookie that totally capture my stomach, it is you. There is just something incredibly delectable about your sandwich cookie goodness, and other brands just aren't the same, no matter how hard they try. Standard Oreos are one of my favorite things ever, you may have guessed. Today,we look at a variation on them, the Oreo Thins

 

Don't let the name fool you...they are still Oreos.

Everyone is into dieting these days, even Oreos it seems. These are "thin and crispy" sandwich cookies and boy do they look it. It is, in fact, a marvel of food engineering. They have taken every single aspect of a standard Oreo and divided by two, lengthwise. Each of these things is basically half an Oreo. 

Seriously, look at these things!

Other then that? Yeah, they are Oreos. The packaging is a little different, but...Oreos. They smell like Oreos too. But, how do they taste?

It's the suspense that gets me, every time.

Prepare to be shocked...they taste like Oreos! Well, not exactly. They are certainly crispier than a standard Oreo, but the flavor is Oreo. The creme/cookie ratio is exactly the same so other than the initial crunch, the taste is pure Oreo goodness. That said, that extra bit of crispiness greatly increases their...munchability? Is that a word? It is now I guess. Anyway, because they are thin, they have almost no heft and you can just gobble them down like delicious dessert chips made of Oreo. You say "Well, they are half a cookie, so I can have a couple extra..." and before you know it, the package is half gone and you feel bad about your life decisions. Bravo, Nabisco. Bravo.

Of course, it's not all creme filling and happiness. These suckers cost exactly the same as regular Oreos, but you get approximately 28% less by weight (14oz to 10oz packages). So not only do I eat them faster, there aren't as many of them. What the hell are you trying to push on me? Shame on you Nabisco. Shhhaaaaammmmme.

On the FACE Rating System, these get 2 Smiley Faces. My goodness are the delicious, perhaps even preferred above regular Oreos (blasphemy I know), but DAT PRICE just hurts too much to make them more than an occasional treat. Still, definitely worth trying!
