Oreos taste different

[solops]

Does anyone else think that recent oreo cookies taste...off? This last package I bought is lacking that reeeeally chocolatey oreo flavor. They must have gone to a cheaper oil or sweetener or cocoa. Plus they have definitely cut back on the filling on all versions of the cookie. Regular, double stuffed and mega stuffed each have less filling.  Booooo!

I stopped eating them years ago for the same reason.  They have very little chocolate flavor anymore.

These came out of the plant in Mexico. I know they make oreos in Canada and I have conflicting info on whether any are still made inside the USA. I know that a package we had last month tasted great, but we did not look at the source.. The package I bought yesterday was really blah, little chocolate flavor and less cream filling. I know that oreos are now made allover the world and that they are NOT the same everywhere. My guess is that the QC in Mexico is so bad they cannot make the same taste from week to week.

I tried their peanut butter cookie a few months ago and found that to be disappointing as well.  Back to 'Nutter Butter for me.

I always buy the Mint Oreos.  The mint flavor overpowers any chocolate flavor failures.  Side note: They tested Mint Oreos at least 10 years ago under the name Grasshoppers.  Loved them then and was disappointed when the test ended.

^Grasshopper is also a good mixed drink you can get at most bars.
