So, now it's time to fool around with Oreo cookies, enough I say! Things has gone far enough in this country. Is nothing sacred anymore?

Your eyes aren't deceiving you. What you see is a thinner, slimmer, more "sophisticated" Oreo, says Mondelez International Inc., the famed sandwich cookie's manufacturer. Starting next week, Oreo Thins take to store shelves in the United States. The Thins have a similar cookie to filling ratio to the original version, but are about half as thick at 7.5 millimeters per piece. Pure blasphemy to baked goods, if we say so. |

As long as they are an added option, and not a replacement for the original, who cares?
I like the Double Stuff myself.

Ditto. When I do buy Oreos, maybe 2-3 times/year, I usually get the themed/colored ones (red at Christmas, yellow/blue for spring/Easter). Or I buy Double Stuf. I just don't buy them a lot because the whole bag seems to disappear in a day or two.  |

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

If I'm eating Oreos, I want the original ones. I tend to buy my kids those mini-Oreos. That way I can't eat them. And crushed up they make a great ice cream cake base.  |

I think my Oreos jump out of the package and run away at night, I couldn't possibly be eating that many that quickly.  I also think I'd just eat twice as many of the thin ones. |

I sometimes experiment with the weird flavors at Target. Cotton Candy Oreos sound awful...but they're not....OMG they are not.  |

I always thought the originals had too much stuffing. I like the chocolate cookie better than the crème filling. This is probably a very bad thing for me, but not for he reasons originally given.  |

My first thought was well I'd just eat more of them so why bother. The last Oreos I ate had peanut butter filling. So delicious. |

Don't want to waste any Oh, but stale oreos are so good!!! I wish I could leave a package open for a day to let them all soften up, but inevitably only a few make it that far |

If these thin ones come with mint creme, I think the Girl Scouts will have some competition
