Somebody brought me some Oreos and they don't taste right

Interesting story about where Oreos are made https://madefind.com/where-are-oreos-made/

There still are some cookie and candy manufactures in North NJ, but the number seems to be shrinking.

It's more cloyingly sweet than I remember and the cookie part is a little bit too crispy. I'm probably wrong. Somethin' ain't right.



This is why I stopped eating Oreos, for the most part.

The Lemon are still an occasional weakness.

I've noticed this over the course of consuming many Oreos, consistently, with no break from childhood, when Oreos were a treat, after suffering Hydrox cookies.

As for GSA cookies, Somoas are the only cookie I buy from them — they're my kryptonite.

And I don't buy unless a Girl Scout initiates a sales attempt.

A box of their cookies is a single serving, once all the packaging is removed.

Their cookies not a good bang for the buck, given the cookie aisle and bakery section in Safeway is a few steps away.

But I realized I'm paying to support the GSA more than for the cookie.

So they need to make the sale, and not Mommy doing it for them.

The Scouts don't need to channel their inner Lou Bookman, just be the one to sell me some Somoas.

And that's not that difficult, LOL.

Maybe you were given Hydrox has a kid and now you are realizing that Oreos are inferior.

Hydrox cookies were the BEST. My friends at lunch often had Oreos, which had better marketing, so I fell for it and traded away my Hydrox on a regular basis. Now I look back at those days and wonder why I was so stupid.

Here in Michigan I haven't seen a package of Oreos that weren't made in Mexico since before Covid and we eat a family size package every week.

Keebler makes some (or maybe all) of the Girl Scout cookies now-a-days and you can get the Keebler version of Somoas, Coconut Dreams at your local grocery store any time you like, plus as a bonus they can be found on sale frequently.

Looks like something thrown together by ChatGPT, and talks around whether or not many are still produced in the US.

Sometime around Covid, Oreos went from being made in the U.S. (possibly New Jersey) to Mexico. Since that time we've noticed the quality isn't consistent.

Sometimes the creme filling has a greasy consistency and doesn't taste as sweet. Sometimes the filling isn't as creamy and taste more like powered sugar.


This my explain my dissatisfaction with Oreos, my observations being the same.

Another complaint I have is that current packaging is six cookies short compared to 'not that long ago'.

I'm thinking that's the 'New 1/2gal' business model, but don't remember the original weight, to make a comparison.

And Hydrox have always sucked, both with I was a kid, and now as an adult.

And don't get me started on Oreo Thins, another way to sell less for more.

Hydrox was how you knew you were poor.
