Whole Oreos by themselves are nasty (crushed up in cheesecake and ice cream, they're not so bad), because of the oily film that they leave behind on your tongue and the roof of your mouth.
What was infinitely better, was the sandwich original cookie that Oreos are actually a clone/rip-off of: the almighty
Hydrox, made by Sunshine Biscuits. These things were so mother

ing delicious that you would eat them until you explode and then you'd eat some more. They didn't have the oilyness of Oreos, and even better, the cream filling wasn't overly sweet like Oreos, either. It had a hint of saltiness that gave the cookie a way fuller and more interesting flavor. Unfortunately, Keebler/Kellogg bought Sunshine in the late 90s and killed most of their brands, including Hydrox, after it had been on the market for over 90 years. The one ray of joy was when, for a few months in 2008,
they brought them back for a 100-year anniversary run, only to kill them off again.

ing bastards.
Oh well. At least they still make Cheez-Its (

cheese nips, them things is nasty as hell). Condolences to all of you who never had the chance to partake of the true god of sandwich cookies.
