Double Stuf

Scent: There’s chocolate. And maybe something else. I have bad nose senses…. so the world may never know.

Dry: Why did we include this as part of the review? When is the last time anyone ate a dry Oreo of their own volition? Have they always had this waxy/oily mid-taste to them? There’s definitely something chemical hiding in there, but thankfully it fades away fast enough.

Cookie: It starts off fine and then degrades from there. It turns into a kind of tasteless mass after a few seconds. I better swallow this quickly, and maybe drink some milk.

Filling: Biting into a thick “Double Stuf” filling pad definitely jumps me back to after school snacks at the babysitter’s. Has any adult actually done this on purpose? Past the nostalgia, there’s a grainy or gritty texture and sweetness that will make your dentist salivate.

Dunked cookie: Dropping the cookie half into milk for a few seconds takes the tasteless out of the tasteless mass. Probably because it disintegrates faster.

Dunkability: 30 seconds. Still crunchy. But it dissolves more quickly so you really don’t get the same Saharan dry face you get by sucking on an unsoaked cookie. Maybe 45 next time…

Overall: These are a solid baseline for the current state of American snacks. Not the same as you remember from your childhood, but they’ll do the trick.
