Oreos, Part 1: Big Stuff Oreos

Oh yeah - Big Stuff Oreos were great! I think they still make Double Stuff Oreos which are the same size as regular Oreos, only thicker. You can just get a few of these, stack them on top of each other, and pretend it's a Big Stuff.

I remember the Big Stuff... man, that thing was huge. We need more cookies like that.

I've never heard of Big Stuff oreos. I asked my sister because she is a big oreo fan and she hadn't heard of them either. Was it just promoted in some areas as a trial test?

Joan -- I think they were available all over the place (though I can't find anything about them on the web, anywhere) for a couple years in the early 90's.

Eskimo Pie now makes an ice cream sandwich called, yes, Oreo Big Stuf. However, it's not the same thing; after all, it's ice cream. But check it out. I am 100% sure that the non-ice cream Big Stuf was nowhere near this size.

...and Nabisco's site mentions Big Stuf, but no elaboration.

Paul -- well done finding the (albeit limited) information... more than I found! :) Those ice cream Big Stufs (couldn't they have found a new name?!) are fatter than the cookies I remember, but I think they are smaller, diameterwise.

Other interesting links I just came across:

Recipe (including the creme!)
Super Oreos (a good idea!)

Thank the Lord im not the only one who remembers these. I was the envy of everyone at school at lunch time. My Mom sent one with me everyday. Then one day they were gone. I miss them. I want them back. We need to start a movement and get them back.

FROM: Ryan
DATE: Thursday March 22, 2001 -- 9:47:03AM

She sent you one every day, Amy? My Lord! Those things were gigantic... even with my cookie-obsessed self, it still took me several days to eat just one, and by that point, I was Oreo-ed out.

Every day. Wow.

Two summers ago I made a regular (bad) habit of eating Oreos and milk almost every day. It finally ended when I ran out of regular Oreos and, in my desperation, decided to go ahead and dunk the Double Stuffs my mom had given me. That set me straight on Oreo abuse for a very long time.

I called Nabisco and they confirmed that the Big Stuf cookies were discontinued in 1991. The Nabisco website breifly mentions them here: http://www.nabiscoworld.com/Oreo/Default.htm?
I am very interested in anyone that has one of these cookies, even if it is VERY expired. The wrapper will do - some people do not believe me that such a miracle cookie was ever produced.

Mike -- Good detective work! :) I'd be willing to bet that something Big Stuf-related would show up on ebay at some point.

Something else I came across on this page:

The Eskimo Pie Corp. has recently added the Arctic Madness single serve novelty to their product line. This great tasting item, along with all the other premium Eskimo Pie Products (OREO Big Stuf, OREO Cone, King Size Eskimo Pie, Wlechs Juice Bar) are available now from The Matterhorn Company.  For more information call (800) 822-1635.

There are fudge-covered Oreos out now... I'd imagine they're pretty much the same thing...

Well, the most logical thing to do is post about it on a page talking about Oreos.

DATE: Friday January 16, 2004 -- 9:48:21 pm

Despite what you may think, we don't just have a picture of a Big Stuf Oreo sitting around that we're refusing to send. Chill out and maybe this'll help you instead.

FROM: brian
DATE: Saturday January 17, 2004 -- 11:32:22 am

that helps, i can sleep now. i am disappointed about how it is home-made. plus the original was not a big mac style triple decker. however, your efforts are greatly appreciated. if an original pic pops up, keep me in mind.

Just thought I'd share...I've just sent an email to Nabisco...I'll let you know the response once it makes it my way. I'll cut and paste what I've sent, for all to see.........

To Whom It May Concern:
I am aware that this will not be the first time you have recieved a question regarding your discontinued "Big Stuff Oreo"...But, I would like to know why on earth would the new "Uh-oh's" or "Golden's" be created when the best cookie in the Oreo family has already been invented? And, having asked this, how could the best ever invented Oreo be discontinued? And why has it not tried to make a comeback? This is a serious question...I'm not joking around here. Do you think it is even remotely possible to distribute these glorious cookies to the public once more? There are some dedicated fans of the "Big Stuff" over at "The Daily Ping", you can check it out for yourself...

Please, "Uh-Oh's" and "Golen's" can go...we just want the "Big Stuff"!

I adore the Oreo Big Stuff cookies. I use to buy them by the case and give them to my Dad. We would sit on the porch and eat them with a gallon of milk. We guarded them like "porch dogs". I could not find them anymore after 1992. If the Nabisco people are reading this.."BRING BACK THE COOKIE AND NO ONE GETS HURT!"
