Chocolate Bytes: For the Love of Chocolate

Oreos Taste Good!

There’s nothing like reading about chocolate and eating Oreos. Yum. I love my work. ;)

Godiva may be a master chocolatier, but there is nothing like an Oreo and a big glass of milk. Do you agree?

Some Oreo info from Wikipedia:

Originally, Oreo cookies were mound-shaped. The source of the name “Oreo” comes from the Greek “ωραίο” - “oreo,” meaning “beautiful” or “nice.” The modern design of the Oreo cookie allows it to be eaten in several ways. Some people twist apart the wafers and eat the filling first; others eat the cookie without taking it apart. Some prefer to eat Oreo cookies after dunking them in milk.

According to a statement from Kim McMiller, an Associate Director of Consumer Relations, a two-stage process is used to make Oreo cookies. The base cake dough is formed into the familiar round cookies by a rotary mold at the entrance of a 300-foot-long oven. Key ingredients include sugar (later replaced with high fructose corn syrup), Dutch cocoa, and pure chocolate liquor purchased from outside suppliers in addition to flour which is milled at Nabisco’s flour mill.

And here is a video made by some other Oreo lovers to Weird Al Yankovic’s The White Stuff - which is a parody song about - you guessed it - Oreos. Watch this to see what my teeth look like right now. Yummy. :)

6 opinions for Oreos Taste Good!

    I have fond memories of eating oreos with a large glass of milk. Recently in a store, I saw a section of Nabisco products (including Oreos) that was advertised as “organic” and having “0 trans fats”.
    Have you heard of these? Do they taste better or worse?

    I haven’t actually seen the organic Oreos in a store here yet, but here’s what I found out about them. They are made with organic flour and sugar, but are not technically “certified organic” because not all their ingredients are organic. They don’t, however, contain any artificial preservatives. But when all is said and done, their nutritional value is only slighter better than regular Oreos. I’d love to taste them to see if there is a difference.

    They were at a local “Super Target”. I’ll let you know if I try them. I am curious to see if they taste any better than regular oreos. ( I’m not going to lose any sleep over the nutritional value of cookies. If I’m going to eat a cookie or two, I’m going for maximum taste!)

    I sooo agree - when they come up with the low carb Oreo that tastes just as good, I will buy in - until then, I am sticking with the regular kind. :)

    the organic ones are incredible! I love oreos–but the cream bothers me a little. The organic creme is so good. but now i’m sad because i can’t find them anywhere–i bought them at a random gas station in the middle of nowhere. I don’t even know what state i was in at the time!

    Oreo’s are good. The video above is even gooder.
