Original Oreos vs The Double Stuff Oreo

       Now as "The Cookie Monster," it is only fitting that I shed some light on a cookie that has touched all of our lives and brings families closer together around a glass of milk. Not only are Oreos milk's favorite cookie, it just so happens they are also MY favorite cookie. It's been that way since I was only a tot. There's just something about that piece of culinary art, with the creme filling sandwiched ever so delicately between two chocolate cookies, that sends chills up and down my spine. Since the creation of the worlds greatest sandwich cookie, there have been many variations on the delectable treat. These variations include: the chocolate covered Oreo (the best variation), the chocolate creme filled Oreo, the Mint creme filled Oreo (the worst variation, you never mint the chocolate!!), the Halloween Orange creme Oreo, the Oreo Cakester, the Golden Oreo -_-, and the Double Stuff Oreo. The Double Stuff Oreo is basically a rip off of the original Oreo, only you get double the creme, and I'll argue that its just a tad too much. 
      The Original Oreo offers the perfect chocolate cookie to creme filling ratio, and should never have been tampered with. The Double Stuff attacks the taste buds with too much creme and not enough cookie to supplement it. This is why I propose a third cookie in the center of the double stuff to balance out the cookie to creme ratio. Here is my logic, in the Double Stuff, they double the amount of creme filling without adding too the cookie. So in a ratio that was 2 cookies to 1 creme, it is now 2:2 and not the proper ratio for the perfect cookie sandwich (which is exactly one half). My proposal of the third chocolate cookie to the center of the creme would raise the ratio to 3:2. Now there would only be slightly more cookie than there is creme, but not too much for those who enjoy more creme, and it is a great compromise for those who like a larger cookie to creme ratio such as myself. Another thing about Oreos that people need to get straight, is how they eat them. THEY'RE MADE AS A SANDWICH FOR A REASON, you should enjoy them as such and not deface the beauty of the Oreo by separating them and licking the creme from the center. Do you open up your ham and cheese sandwich and lick out all the ham ,cheese and mustard, then put the plain pieces of bread back together and eat them? I think not. When you do such terrible things it defeats the purpose of selling them as a "Sandwich Cookie". All I'm saying is respect the Oreo sandwich cookie and eat it how it is meant to be eaten, as a cookie sandwich and dunked in a tall glass of almost frozen 2% milk (2% for the real men, you women can have your skim milk) for at least 3, to no more than 5 seconds in order to get the most enjoyment out of eating your Oreo. Don't forget to wash it down with that tall glass of almost frozen 2% milk!


P.S. I learned as a child that Santa loves the Original Oreo, one year my dad saw him eating my whole pack that prick.

  7. regular are definitely better. double stuff have way too much cream, and the chocolate cookie is the best part anyway.
