Skinny Oreos? Thins on the way for grown-ups, Mondelez says

Oreos are getting a skinny new look, and its maker says the new cookie is a "sophisticated" snack for grown-ups that isn't meant to be twisted or dunked.

Mondelez International says it will add "Oreo Thins" to its permanent lineup in the U.S. starting next week. The cookies look like regular Oreos and have a similar cookie-to-filling ratio, except that they're slimmer. That means four of the cookies contain 140 calories, compared with 160 calories for three regular Oreos.

Coconut is very good - I love it !

I'd love to try those Red Velvet Oreos but they don't sell them here in Southeast Asia.

Anybody wanna exchange gifts?

Just another scam they pull during inflation. Just make things smaller, less quantity, but charge the same price.

They pulled this stunt back in the 70’s hyper inflation period. And why candy bars went from being as thick as a brick to being as thin as piece of cloth. Still paid the same tho.

Inflation - less cookie without a corresponding cut in price.

I’m a grownup and I like Oreos just the way they are.

It’s all about how much *face* they can occupy on a shelf.

Have you noticed how many kinds of yogurt there are? Is getting ridiculous.

Oreos are getting a skinny new look....

***
Yet I will continue to boycott them for their robust support of the pro-sodomy agenda.

Yogurt is ridiculously easy to make at home. I used to do it all the time when milk was on sale or the store gave away gallons as a promotion (i.e. buy 2 boxes of corn flakes and get a gallon of milk).

I would pour it into jelly jars sometimes with fruit on the bottom, sometimes just a little maple syrup, sometimes plain, then put it in the oven with the door propped open by a deck of playing cards.

It was kept warm just from the lightbulb in the oven. No higher than 112 degrees F, no lower than 104 degrees F... IIRC. You can slide the deck of cards up or down on the door, varying the amount the door is cracked open, till you find the sweet spot. 7 hours later, yer done. Cap em up and toss em in the fridge. I think that including my time the cost was something like 1/8 of store-bought.

Who cares? These things are soooo good.

I like the idea of thin Oreos (the chocolate ones, not the blonde ones).
We hadn’t had E L Fudge in a long time & now, the cookie part is too thick. I emailed them.
Thick is better, I guess, if you’re going to dunk them.

First they came for the Oreos, and I said nothing.

But then they came for the vanilla wafers...

That’s what it’s coming to, you have to load your own Oreos.
