So the serving size that no one reads on the side of the bag is now half a cookie instead of two cookies in a bag of 100.

You caught that too, eh? And the average consumer, reading that the nutritional content has improved, goes and eats the whole bag, thinking that with the "new formula" they're using, it's not as fattening as the half-bag-binges he used to go on before.

I was standing in line at the grocery checkout a while ago, and overhead a rather large woman say to her friend (as she dipped her pudgey hand into a bag of fat-free cookies she had opened): "They're fat free! I can eat all I want!" Um, check the label. They're loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, replacing the fat. Two cookies have 140 calories. The carb count in those cookies is astronomical!

Who can eat a whole bag? I love oreos but if I eat more than 3-4 I'd feel very ill. I could eat the creme in the middle though of probably 1/4 of the bag.
