Oreos, Part 3: Organic Oreos

So, by now, you know my weakness for Oreos. But the thing is, in excess, they are extremely unhealthy (especially the Double Stuffs that I love). Sure, I’ve tried Reduced Fat Oreos and they’re nasty (they’re reduced fat because they have almost no creme on them!). However, I’m here to report that I have found the holy grail of Oreos (or should I say, “Chocolate Creme Sandwiches”?): what I call “Organic Oreos.”

They’re not really organic, they’re actually just “All Natural” and sold by the Fresh Fields chain. Here’s why I love them so:

  • They’re not that bad for you (the page doesn’t have the health information, but they have no saturated fat) — in fact, they’re healthier than Reduced Fat Oreos.
  • They taste incredible — the creme is a slightly different consistency, but it’s delicious.
  • The amount of creme isn’t reduced, even though the fat is — it has more than a regular Oreo, though less than a Double Stuff.
And looking back at Monday’s Ping, why not market a jar of this creme, since it’s not all that bad for you? I bet this stuff would taste wicked in between layers of a chocolate cake.

Hey — why not try them out? They’re cheaper online than in the store ($1.95/box) and with one of these coupons you can get free shipping. Let me know what you think of them. -ram

Time to bring this ping back to the top!

I have been buying a soy “ice cream” called Soylicious Cookie Avalanche. I heartily recommend it!! The fake oreo part is not crunchy but is still worth eating straight from the container.

The Newman-O’s? They’re incredible. I’ll never buy regular Oreos ever again.

i just discovered actually organic oreos. made with organic flour and suger, no artifical presertivites, flavors or colors no trans fat and no hydrogenated oils….and no fucking high fructous corn syrup.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
