Eating

Snacks, treats, and comfort food.

Snacks, treats, and the comfort food that makes a hard recovery day go down easier.

  • A pint of Yala Greek ice cream in a blue and cream container, overflowing with scoops of white ice cream swirled with berry ribbons, a silver spoon resting beside it.
    Yala Greek Ice Cream

    Hand-delivered by my SIL on the Fourth of July. A 'Mediterranean-style frozen dessert known for its exceptionally light, velvety texture and fruit-forward flavors,' says Google. Exceptional, says me.

  • A blue Oreo Limited Edition package with a swirled background, an iced cinnamon bun graphic, and 'Cinnamon Bun' flavor lettering, with a single golden Oreo cookie pictured at the bottom right.
    Cinnamon Bun Oreos

    A cream-filled snickerdoodle wearing an Oreo costume. I don't hate them, but they wouldn't be my first pick; apparently the people who've begged for their return for a decade would disagree.

  • A red Oreo Limited Edition package dotted with blue and white stars, a 'Firecracker Pop' creme flavor banner, a red-white-and-blue popsicle graphic, and a single golden Oreo cookie; labeled blue raspberry, lemon, and cherry flavor creme.
    Firecracker Pop Oreos

    Taste like fake fruit blended into a Golden Oreo. Plus points for the 'golden,' minus points for the 'firecracker.'

  • A purple package of brown sugar pancake oreos, with the blue OREO logo and bold BTS lettering over a neon cityscape, two cream-filled chocolate cookies pictured at the bottom and Korean lettering for the brown sugar pancake flavor.
    Brown Sugar Pancake Oreos

    Tastes like the inside of a fancy latte, structurally a cookie. My surgical-news soother of choice.

  • A blue Family Size OREO package with a 'Toffee Crunch' flavor creme banner, a layered toffee graphic, a single chocolate sandwich cookie, and text reading toffee flavor creme artificially flavored with sugar crystals.
    Toffee Crunch Oreos

    Holy moly these are incredible! Imagine a smooth chocolatey filling inside of two cookies but with crunchy sugary bits. Two chocolate covered thumbs up.

  • An orange Christie 'Maple Creme Oreo / Crème à l'érable' package baked in Canada, with golden sandwich cookies, scattered red maple leaves, a bottle of maple syrup, and a badge reading 'Made with Real Quebec Maple Syrup.'
    Maple Creme Oreos

    Nom nom nom Maple Creme Oreos! These taste a bit like the BTS Brown Sugar Pancake Oreos without the weird blue color. They are also ... creamier? Less sweet? Not sure but those Canadians sure do know how to make anything better with the blood of trees.

  • A blue Nabisco Family Size OREO package labeled 'Dark Chocolate Flavor Creme,' with a large chocolate sandwich cookie graphic, a 'Made with Real Cocoa' badge, chocolate curls, and text reading 'Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, Net Wt 1 lb 1 oz.'
    Dark Chocolate Oreos

    Dark chocolate: check. Oreos: check. Two amazing things that combine to taste like ... an Oreo. The dark chocolate isn't influencing the standard Oreo flavor much here, but honestly, I can't hate them.

  • A yellow Party Size OREO package labeled 'Lemon Flavor Creme,' with a golden sandwich cookie split to show pale yellow filling, a lemon wedge and green leaves, and the blue OREO logo.
    Lemon Oreos

    I assumed these would be mind-blowingly good; they're fine. They taste like the cheap version you'd get at a church picnic. Meh.

  • A yellow Oreo package labeled 'Banana Pudding' with a 'Twist Lick Vote' badge, sitting in swirls of yellow pudding surrounded by vanilla wafers, banana slices, and cookie crumbs.
    Banana Oreos

    A Golden Oreo with a filling that tastes like Laffy Taffy. Not banana pudding, not banana anything that grew on a tree; straight-up banana taffy. A very weird experience, NGL.

  • An orange Oreo Limited Edition package labeled 'Deep Fried' with a 'Twist Lick Vote' badge and a golden sandwich cookie, sitting on a pile of fried Oreo bites.
    Deep Fried Oreos

    A burnt regular Oreo tucked inside a Golden Oreo. Also odd, but edible; that's the whole review.

  • An orange Oreo Limited Edition package labeled 'Chicken & Waffles' with a 'Twist Lick Vote' badge, waffle-embossed golden sandwich cookies, and fried chicken drumsticks on a waffle plate.
    Chicken & Waffles Oreos

    By far the best of the three Twist Lick Vote flavors. Tastes like a salted speculoos cookie. Definitely something to get used to, but I don't hate it.

  • A blue Oreo Limited Edition package labeled 'Apple Pie a la Mode Flavor Creme,' with a slice of lattice-topped apple pie drizzled with cream and a golden Oreo sandwich cookie.
    Apple Pie Oreos

    A 10 of 10! A PERFECT Oreo and a much-needed one after those three weird-o Twist Lick Vote flavors. Golden cookie, apple pie and vanilla creme; tastes exactly like pie à la mode.
