For those of you who care about such things, The Dieline reports that Target will be selling limited-edition Oreo cookies and Ritz crackers in retro-ish packaging this summer. My advice? Don't open them, wait 20 years, and sell them on whatever auction site exists in the future—at that point, I'm sure, Target will be selling retro-2009 Oreos....

What happens when you take all the fillings from a 36-count pack of Double Stuf Oreos and stack them into one Oreo cookie sandwich? Jason Edmond Beaird tries it and ends up with a Duoseptuagenuple (72) Stuf Oreo. [via Neatorama]...

Photograph from Not Martha Now that Hydrox cookies are back on the shelves, the debate over how they stack up against their competitors has begun. Megan Reardon and Scott Andrew of Not Martha recently put them to a taste test against Oreos and Newman O's. For Overall I liked Oreos while Scott preferred the less sweet Hydrox. I preferred the extra crunch that the Oreos had and found that the flavors were the most balanced. The Newman O's had the crunchiest cookie and I found it had the most pronounced cocoa flavor, but I thought the cookies tasted slightly off, something which came through most when we compared the creme fillings. I haven't tried the Newman O's, though I am...

Oreos may be the wold's best-selling cookie, but it has yet to make much of a impression in biscuit-obsessed England. Nightline covers the Oreo invasion on British soil: what's the Oreo's strategy, how is it being received, and, most importantly, does it dunk well in tea?

With all the cultural exports the U.S. floods the world with, it's hard to imagine the iconic Oreo is only now making a splash in England. But, sources tell me, drinking a glass of milk, let alone dunking cookies in it, is an alien concept in Europe. I love the subhead on the Christian Science Monitor story on the phenomenon: "What fresh vulgarity have the Yanks brought now? Milk dunking!"...

In order to gain more customers in China, Kraft reformulated their Oreo in different ways, including lowering the sugar content of the round sandwich cookies and making a new Oreo snack in the form of wafer sticks, now the best-selling biscuit in China....

While I am pondering my need to lose 25 pounds the good folks at the Indiana State Fair are paying lip service to the health police this year by frying their Oreos, peanut butter cups, and Snickers bars in trans-fat free oil. What do you make of this development? The money quote: "This is a slice of heaven,” said Ryan Howell, 31, as he cradled his Combo Plate, which, for the record, consists of one battered Snickers bar, two battered Oreos and a battered Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup — all deep-fried in oil that is trans-fat free, thank goodness." And if Mr. Howell chooses he can wash his combo plate down with something just as deadly....

yumsugar points out that today, March 6, is somehow both Chocolate Cheesecake Day and the day Nabisco debuted the Oreo cookie in 1912, so hey, why not make a Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake to celebrate?...

I've never been an Oreo freak. In fact, I like Hydrox cookies better. What about you, Oreos or Hydrox? I find the filling of both too sweet and grainy, though I do like the bittersweet taste of the chocolate cookies. But the Bouchon Bakery makes an amazing homemade oreo-style cookie called a (litigation-proof) TKO (Thomas Keller Oreo). The chocolate wafers are wonderful cookies in their own right. They're obviously made of excellent quality dark chocolate (Vahlrona) and plenty of butter. The filling is a revelation. According to noted cookies and 'cream maven Charlotte Druckman, the filling is made of white chocolate ganache. Keller himself confirmed that for me. This just in. What may be even better than the TKO is...
