Is it? Is it really? While very tasty, the Oreo boasts a resume replete with flaws, not the least of which I shall address here. I am referring, of course, to the crumble.
The crumble is a cookie characteristic widely known to cause problems in situations ranging from bedtime snacking (crumbs in the bed) to movie watching (managing dark colored cookie bits in the dark) to casual date snacking (half the cookie falling apart after a bite). All of these issues are problematic at best, and downright disasterous if left unchecked. The potential for ruining an entire night's sleep, creating a mess as somebody's movie night guest, or making a fool of one's self on an early date, is far too great for the cookie making community at large to ignore. A solution must be found if Oreo would like to remain "America's Favorite Cookie." Solutions exist, such as soft cookies, or cookies small enough to comfortably make one bite. Oreo's are nearly this size, but in certain situations, fitting an entire Oreo into your mouth is awkward or impractical, such as with a loved one, with one Oreo remaining. Some would dip the Oreo in milk to soften it, but this solution is problematic at best. The lack of milk or being lactose intolerant leaves a person back at square one. Also, some cookies, such as Chips Ahoy, do not lend themselves as well to milk dipping. Instead, I offer two suggestions. One, a cookie sleeve, that will cover the cookie, leaving bite room, and catching any cookie bits falling off. This may seem impractical, but I believe it solves more problems than it creates. Two, create Oreos with a ridge along the middle line, such as in sidewalks, to prevent cracking in other places. This will effectively divide the Oreo in two while retaining its distinctive round shape. Together we can improve and make safe the cookie world once more. Oreo can improve, and thus retain its title as America's Favorite Cookie. Thank you. -------------

Americas favorite cookie has to be the Chocolate Chip. No contest. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

But chocolae chip cookies dont say it on their box, now do they? But I must concur, The only temporary solution would be to twist, but then there would be one side with very little icing, and that would always be given to the female partner. The man might later achieve what his sexual desire was aiming for, but deep down inside, every man yearns to have that last bit of icing, and has to fight all instincts to turn it over. -------------

Maybe I should get out a narrow cutting tip for my dremel when I get home and try out some grooves in the Oreo crust. I could see how it works out. -------------

| While I do enjoy the Oreo, I too think America's greatest cookie is Chocolate Chip. |

Maybe the Oreo's crumble is what makes it so enjoyable? It gives it character, beauty from non-perfection. -------------

Oreos are the best cookie hands down.

| You forgot to mention that they can stick to your teeth which looks pretty disgusting. The single biggest problem I've encountered with oreoes was following them with a rediculous amount of beer, vomiting black crud on awhite cat, then trying to catch it and clean it off while you're wasted. That was the worst new year's eve ever. |

I personally prefer chocolate cookies with vanilla chips.
I'll eat Oreos, but they're nowhere near my favorite. -------------

My main gripe with Oreos is all these horrible holiday variations. I
absolutely love the basic, plain-jane, white frosting classic Oreos,
but those "mint frosting" and "Halloween-colored frosting" designs
really don't flip my skirt, if you get my drift.

Oreos are good, but they have all the problems riefdom listed and then some.
If it's chocolate chip, it might as well be oatmeal chocolate chip, as far as I'm concerned. I also don't like chocolate chip cookies with more chocolate than cookie! The chocolate chips are meant to compliment the cookie, not overpower it. I also hate walnuts and that sort of crap in my cookies. I personally would say America's cookie would have to be a toss-up, between 3 contenders.....the first 2 from the good old Girl Scouts of America. Thin mints, and somoas. The thin mint being the type of cookie that you can eat an entire box on with a few glasses of milk, they are just so smooth. The samoas are much more rich, with the ability to satisfy with just a few cookies. But honestly, if America wants to do as I think it should, which is strive to be the best, it should settle for nothing less than the chocolate mint Milano brand cookie. ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |

Oreos are a good choice, but dont forget about the snickerdoodle. So soft and lightly sprinkled with suger and a hint of cinnamon. ------------- Only Hugh can prevent florist friars. |

^For the individual complexity and depth of taste, yes.....very satisfying. You are dead-on there.
But for the smoothness of texture, the crisp clean bite.......refreshing-type taste, the thin mint is clearly superior. ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |

Ile give you the point on the thin mint, but i love the samoa, its chewy, chocalate and its a little bit crunchy. Its great. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

If you like Thin Mints, do yourself a favor and go find some York Peppermint Patty cookies. They come in a little four pack, and they are incredible. They're like Thin Mints on crack. -------------

The funny thing is I don't really prefer either, I also eat a good amount of the plain shortbread ones(TriFoils?), and once in awhile a few peanut butter ones.
But Thin Mints and Somoas are my favorite, and I remember someone describing the caramel ones one time and they sounded like I'd like them ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |

It's not like I don't like mint, it's just too overpowering.....probably good for when you have stinky breath, though. But something about the mild mint flavor with chocolate cookie is good to me, with milk of course.....even better out the freezer. *Edit* But yeah also, about the Samoas, it's really hard to go wrong with whatever it is they got on there....from what I can see/taste it's like a cookie, with nouget(sp?), with caramel, with coconut and a little chocolate striped on top.....about as good as it gets. ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |

yeah, you just described a Samoa, except I thought Samoas were only chocolate-striped......or now that I think of it I think the bottom cookie part is covered in chocolate, but the top is striped with chocolate
either way now I'm curious as to whether you guys got me jealous for nothing! Is there really another caramel girl scout cookie? Or are you talking about the Samoas?

I actually love milk so much that I can drink it pretty warm no problem, but it's not nearly as good as cold.
I also hate dipping cookies in milk, I don't like soggy cookies and I don't like cookie crumbs/chunks in my milk ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |
