DELICIOUS OR SUSPICIOUS: Triple Double Oreos
Recently, I learned about a new product Nabisco is rolling out: the Double Triple Oreo. It's a bastardized cookie endorsed by pro athletes — Shaq, Venus and Serena Williams, the Manning brothers, Apolo Ohno — who probably never consume Oreos in real life. The Double Triple consists of a classic Oreo cookie wafer, a layer of vanilla cream, another wafer, a layer of chocolate cream and another wafer. Each one is 100 calories and contains 4.5 grams of fat.
I filed mental note of the cookie away with eventual plans to pick some up for a Delicious or Suspicious, but then the boyfriend and I went to the supermarket and there they were. Cue music, cue sonorous angel voices rejoicing, cue Oreogasm. We bought them. I wasn't concerned with my stepping over the excess border into gluttony land because I just knew it would all be worth it.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm saying it: They're nothing special. In fact, they didn't even taste good. From a construction perspective, it seemed like the fat-cat execs at Nabisco forced the poor Nabisco snack scientists into creating a fabulous new product without providing with the proper time or resources. (There isn't even a Big Mac-esque ergonomic printless middle cookie, it's just a top/bottom wafer shoved in between!) Furthermore, when it comes to Oreos, chocolate cream plus chocolate cookie is a bad combo. It tasted off; tooth-achingly sweet. I ate two Double Triples total for the sake of research, but the second one didn't change my opinion. If anything, it made things worse.
So I dub thee SUSPICIOUS, Triple Double. If you're really craving a double-decker experience, might I suggest smushing a traditional Oreo together with a mint Oreo?
