They’re the cookies with the sodomy in the middle.

I must admit that he is a resourceful little fellow. Who would have thought that an Oreo that already has four times the normal amount of filling would be even better with eight times the normal amount of filling? I could probably save a little money if I bought a case of Oreos at Costco, then took a box of powdered sugar and mixed in enough vegetable oil to make a thick paste, and then let the kids spoon it on the normal Oreos that they always pull apart anyway.

Of course to be fully authentic the oil would need to be hydrogenated vegetable shortening. Yum!

Actually, that probably would not make the filling authentic either. My only goal would be to fool the grandkids. Some guy got 15 years behind bars for selling the filling recipe to the Chinese for $28 million.

Until 1997 the filling was made out of pig lard, sugar and some chemicals, but these days it is most likely “sugar, palm and/or canola oil, and high fructose corn syrup.

It turns out that according to a study using rats that Oreos are more addictive than Cocaine and Morphine.

Right, in 1997 they switched from lard to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, aka vegetable shortening. They used hydrogenated oil because it has roughly the same consistency as lard. That’s because hydrogenated oil is saturated making it solid or semi-solid at room temperature. If the current OREO ingredient list doesn’t show hydrogenated oil, it’s because they’ve replaced it with palm oil which is naturally saturated and has the same consistency as lard or hydrogenated oil. I doubt you would fool the grandkids if you made the filling with regular liquid vegetable oil. I suspect it wouldn’t have the right creamy texture.

Sorry, I copied the same oreo link twice, the first was suppose to have been to an article that discussed much of the same info you just mentioned. If you would like I will try to find it for you. I didn't realize the intricacies involved in getting oreo filling just right. When I was a kid my parents just bought us those cheap oreo knock off sunshine cookies. They came in a variety of not very good flavors. I think they are still around in one form or another.
