If you eat them, how many as a limit per day? I have tried to put a limit of 10 for day but those cookie are just too delicious.

I believe so.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most days that's a 0.

But then every once in a while, I eat an entire package.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And that starts the cycle over again or not buying Oreos for another year.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's like looking into two mirrors at once.

[–] sblanziko 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you really eat Oreos on a daily basis? Damn man...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I ate one in my whole life and it's one of the most disgusting "desserts" i ever ate. It's just sugar with cardboard around it.

[–] Bz2486 -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Almost correct.the white stuff is a slurry of pig back fat and powdered sugar. Built the oreo line at nabisco in fairlawn, nj before they tore it down.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oreos are vegan, so it's definitely not pig fat

[–] kmkz_ninja 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They've been vegetarian for 30 years

[–] Cyo 2 points 1 year ago

I try to put limits xd I know that oreos are just a bunch of tasty chemicals

[–] Izzy 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think I eat on average of about 5-10 oreos per year.

[–] Today 9 points 1 year ago

I probably eat 30 Oreos per year in two 'sessions'.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'd guess like 0.2 a year for me, since it's been a few years, and I don't see myself ever eating another unless it's offered to me.

I do like cookies though

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will eat zero Oreos for years and years... Then promptly eat two full containers with a gallon of milk. All or nothing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

May I ask, how’s the diarrhoea?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Let's just say the entire bathroom gets a thorough cleaning when the deed is done

[–] Mr_Blott 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oreos are like the lowest common denominator of biscuits. Overpriced and tasteless, you'd only eat them if there was literally nothing else; the Lipton's Tea of biscuits

Hey hey hey that's my job.

My gods are Hobnobs and Caramel Wafers, yours are high fructose corn syrups

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the shortening

[–] MothBookkeeper 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe the price limit

[–] CheesyGordita 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You mean sleeves, right? Right...?

[–] brimnac 6 points 1 year ago

How many come in a box?

[–] Sylver 4 points 1 year ago

Limits are for quitters.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

(unless there are more available)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] TheHighRoad 3 points 1 year ago

I think you mean "how many sleeves" as max.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

All. All of them.

The proper procedure for eating Oreos is as follows:

One: eat a single Oreo. Telling yourself you're going to be good.

Two: have one more because it's only one more

Three: realize you've eaten every single Oreo in the house. Feel guilty.

Four: go to the store and buy replacement Oreos so your family doesn't know about your shame

Five: go to sleep, and repeat as necessary the next day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When we have them I tend to grab them in threes. But I don't have a daily limit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

this is the way

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I usually stop at one, when I remember that I don't actually like them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

None. I think they're decidedly blah. It's sickly sweet stuffing in between two layers that vaguely taste of chocolate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

IMO Trader Joe's version is about 100x better.

I still haven't had them in ages, but they don't just taste like sugar soaked in chemicals.

[–] Default_Defect 2 points 1 year ago

How many you got? I'll eat em.

[–] AA5B 2 points 1 year ago

I try to put a limit of one column, but if my kids aren’t fast enough with their share, they may lose out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Usually zero, but occasionally like 10.

[–] PixelOfLife 1 points 1 year ago

Zero. Oreos are disgusting. We have our own version called Domino that are infinitely better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'll have some once every few weeks and usually eat like 2-4. The serving size is 3 which has 160 calories and 14 grams of sugar.
