Dyna Moe Oreo Review	I just found your site (through the "Giant Bee" animation link) and enjoy your biscuit reviews. I have to claim ignorance on all but four or five brands reviewed; and we even have many British products stocked at our local Pakistani-run bodegas on every corner in New York... Oreos aren't even enjoyed by most Americans (that's why they're constantly being 'double-stuffed,' fudge-covered, flavorized, and miniaturized into cereal {there is an Oreo-O's breakfast cereal}) but they are one of the few biscuits/cookies with a history in the US. They claim to the oldest, but stateside it has an evil identical twin called Hydrox (made by Sunshine Bakeries) that claims to be the original. They are both vestiges of our Guilded age when mustachioed captains of industry were killing Indians and affecting Britishisms (like calling Oreos "biscuits" when they are clearly cookies) as their children were enjoying charred-black dusty "treats" with ominous medical-sounding names.
	Nicey replies: Hydrox, what an appetising name, mmmm. Sounds like something you would use to clean drains.
Devon Oreo Review	I read your review of oreo's. I am pleased that you seem to understand america :). Statistically speaking, americans are fat and commercialized. We love our oreos almost as much as some "love" their heart attacks. Thanks for reviewing oreo's! they may be the essence of over-proccessed-commercial-american food, but they're really tasty, especially with milk. Thanks again, Devon (not the province... thats my name....) p.s. (i was kidding mentioning the province... you're not stupid)
	Nicey replies: Thanks for that. Actually Devon is a county, famous for dairy products, milk, cream, butter and so on. Cream teas are a feature of Devon's cuisine, consisting of scones spread with jam and clotted cream and a big pot of tea, epic!
Darren Schroeder Oreo Review	Hi Nice site! Your review of the oreo was an interesting read. Down here in New Zealand the Oreo is only just starting to appear on our shelves, perhaps due to a plot on the part of the mulitnationals: When I was in the states a few years ago I had an orea milkshake and wanted more. Lucky for me the local Dennys had these shakes on the menu. Then macdonalds's introduced oreo mcFlurrys which I took a liking to. Another Oreo fact: The DC comic's character Martian Manhunter has a irrational addiction to oreo cookies. I find that oero's themselves are a bit rich so I don't buy them much, but I think the problem is that when I do get them I eat 5 or 6 at once. Do i have an addiction and where can I seek help for it? Bye for now. Darren Schroeder Christchurch, New Zealand
	Nicey replies: Darren, I suggest you try eating some sensible biscuits, some of your local Griffins ones should do nicely, closely followed by some Oreos. This should help clear your mind.
Iain Farnsworth Oreo Review	Nicey,          I was quite disturbed today, when I found the popular American biscuit (which they consistently refer to as 'cookie' - tsch (What does this have to say about Americans?) I mean, just what is the world coming to when we need eating instructions on our biscuits? Soon we may have dumb little pictures of how to dunk your rich tea into your nice cup of tea, and directions on how to eat the middle out of bourbons!!!     I am so distraught by findings today, that I think I have lost all faith in humanity, and need a quality English biscuit (or maybe even a scone with jam and clotted cream) to pull me out of this pit of despair. That, and I feel it is surely the responsibility of the good biscuit loving community to create a strike-force against revolting biscuits with eating instructions on the box.     What do you think of that idea?   Iain.
	Nicey replies: I don't think Oreos taste too bad, but they are a bit of an anticlimax. Those disgusting chocolate sweets the Americans have, with peanut butter in the middle, that's something to be proud of, but Oreos, forget it. Yes I've seen those eating instructions as well. What's that for! They tell you to pull them apart eat the cream bit then eat the other bits or something, I don't know. If that is what your supposed to do then why go to the trouble of sticking them together! Why not just supply a big old lump of the inside white muck, in a tin or something and a few out side browns bits. I've also little packets of four Oreos wrapped together as a 'Serving', this too seems futile. I simply don't believe that an American considers 4 Oreos to be a serving, 14 maybe, 4 no.
