\"Nabisco<\/a><\/p>\n

Meet the cookie I am sure Guantanamo Bay serves to its residents. <\/p>\n

Nabisco’s Coconut Delight Oreo Fudge Cremes. <\/p>\n

They do have a coconut-ish flavor. They are delightful, if you enjoy getting punched in the stomach. They are not Oreos. They are indeed fudgy, if waxy chocolate is the definition for fudge. They are not creamy or creme-mey. I could leave it at that and you would know all there is to know about these cookies.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a cookie whore. When I want something sweet, it\u2019s either chewy Starburst (I prefer the Sugus brand if you can find them in Asian markets) or vermouth. However, I do have a soft spot for sandwich cookies. If you place a Nutter Butter or a no-name lemon sandwich cookie in front of me, I\u2019ll gobble them up shamelessly. I\u2019ll even eat the Dolph Lundgren of Oreos, Hydrox.<\/p>\n

When I first heard of these “delights,” I was expecting a normal Oreo cookie with coconut flavored cream in the middle, and then dipped in fudge. Like my parents, expectation leads to disappointment. <\/p>\n

So what is this thing Nabisco is doing to an Oreo? The cookie is a single Oreo wafer with coconut cream layered on top and then dipped in chocolate “fudge.” It neither resembles nor performs like the beloved sandwich cookie. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s as if Outback Steakhouse came out with a new Aussie cheese fries and they were just stupid \u2018ol potato chips with bacon bits sprinkled on top with Greek yogurt plopped thoughtlessly. Boooooo!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not Aussie cheese fries and this is no friggin\u2019 Oreo. I want to twist that cookie and selectively deconstruct it with my tongue as I eat each element separately. I want to dunk it in a cold glass of whole milk. I want to pretend that these things are poker chips as I stack them in edible columns. In short, I want an Oreo.<\/p>\n

Not even on Earth-Three<\/a> where the Justice League is villainous, Wonder Woman is even hotter and the Joker is a good guy, would anybody there consider this an Oreo. I was reluctant to write this review because I had to filter my strong dislike to write something coherent.<\/p>\n

My first draft went something like this, “I fucking hate these fucking cookies that are not fucking good at fucking all because they fucking suck the fucking dog\u2019s fucking tongue for fucks sake!” <\/p>\n

Yeah, I agree with you\u2026 it’s a run on sentence.<\/p>\n

\"Nabisco<\/a><\/p>\n

Upon opening the cookies, you are slapped in the face with this fake buttery smell. It was a bit off-putting but my father-in-law and wife seemed not to mind. I shrugged and hesitated to eat one because of the strange smell.<\/p>\n

The coconut creme was nutty and tasted artificial. Furthermore, the white stuff was similar to paste and a bit chalky. I couldn\u2019t stomach the so-called chocolate fudge because it was very plastic and had an excessive fake buttery flavor. It\u2019s akin to I Can\u2019t Believe It\u2019s Not Butter with its weird, not quite butter smell and flavor. <\/p>\n

\"Nabisco<\/a><\/p>\n

The sole saving grace was the cookie, which was crisp and deep with cocoa flavors.<\/p>\n

I was hoping this Oreo would be close to a Mounds candy bar, but the cookie as a whole tasted like an overly-buttery, too-sweet, and nutty mess. I ate a few because I thought maybe the flavors would temper a bit. But nope.<\/p>\n

Nabisco also succeeded in creating something with almost every unpleasant texture to mouths everywhere. In fact, if these were soggy, then this depressing cookie would be complete. <\/p>\n

I champion Oreos and their foray into assorted flavors, but this specific variety I cannot. My father-in-law devoured them but the poor guy is totally restricted from all things sweet and fatty. Take that for what it\u2019s worth. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m all for trying new twists on familiar subjects but more often than not, they fail miserably like the Americanized 1998 Godzilla (who was awesomely killed off in 2004\u2019s Godzilla: Final Wars), but I\u2019m also not for torturing my taste buds. Sorry Nabisco, but we\u2019ll always have the Creamsicle Oreo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> The cookie is crisp and definitely chocolate flavored. Cookie whores. Coconut is nutty. Trying to come up with positive things to say about this Oreo variety. American Godzilla getting vaporized by the Godzilla we all know and love. Oreo taking chances on different flavors.
\nCons:<\/b> Waxy chocolate, pasty creme and fake buttery flavor. Trying to find something positive in something terrible. Being restricted from all things sweet and fatty. Earth-Three Lex Luthor sucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
