> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by vengeance and dust \* > \*\*Geez, I’ve always hated Oreos. They’re way too hard and the filling tastes sickeningly sweet. I’ve never met someone else who didn’t like them, either, and I don’t understand why, considering how much better (and cheaper) homemade cookies are. \*\* I used to bake cookies a lot. Until I moved into this house, which doesn’t have a functional oven. ☹ ---

> [@](#): > > …it’s disgusting. The cream has **no flavour.** To check this, I lick the cream off. Still, no flavour.\*\* Too sweet.\*\* Too gooey. How can it be flavorless and sweet?? Personally, I like how the filling tastes, so I only eat double-stuff ones. ---

**elfkin** : There’s a difference between flavour and taste. Taste is primarily what you sense on your tongue\*: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Flavour is taste _plus_ aroma. No aroma, no flavour. Just a sweet taste. A dictionary is your friend. \*[sub]Technically, anyway. Colloquially, taste can mean flavour, too, but flavour never means just the stuff you sense on your tongue.[/sub] **VarlosZ** : I swear, I was only looking for the Nabisco Canada web site, but I found [this article about Canadian Oreos](http://www.southam.com/windsorstar/border/000624/701590.html). **Biggirl** : It’s possible I have outgrown them; I’ve outgrown lots of other food. However, American food just tastes funny. Oreos are not the first product I’ve had this problem with. ---

**Sua:** Holy shit. I stand corrected. Had I known this before I went ot Montreal yesterday I would have done a little taste test. ---

[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by VarlosZ \* \*\* > [@](#): > > Needless to say, I find it extraordinarily doubtful that they make Oreos “different” in Canada. In fact, do they even make them in Canada at all? \*\* As a 3-year boarding school resident of Canada (thank god I no longer live in the great, hellacious north), I can vouch for the fact that they make Corn Pops COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT up there. Not even remotely similar to the regular ones. I don’t know what the hell their problem is that they had to go and create a new product and sell it under the same name up there. Blech. They might just as easily make oreos different. My $0.02 ---

Add it to your vocabulary folks, because it’s going to be right up there with _felching, squicking_ and _“Touch your nose!”_ ---

I must admit, I love Oreos.Even though I don’t get them very often (but I can have all the vegemite I can handle, ug) But one thing always bothered me. The filling is called “stuff”. Not “creamy goodness” or “yummy white filling” or even “a slice of heaven”. It’s called “stuff”. I guess it bothers me because when I was a kid we used to call out genetals “stuff” (you know, “girl-stuff” or “boy-stuff”). Strange.
