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

Update 1\/19\/2019: If you’re looking for Oreo The Most Stuff, click here to read our review<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n

Believe it or not, there was a time when the Double Stuf Oreo was considered the pinnacle of modern mass-produced cookie engineering. Long before the Manning brothers failed to translate their quarterbacking prowess in a misguided career move to make history<\/a> with the Double Stuf Racing League, and way before Double Stuf Oreos morphed into the template for every flavor filling this side of red velvet cake*, the concept of an Oreo cookie with twice the normal cr\u00e8me filling was something to marvel at.<\/p>\n

*Calling it now, within the next five years, we will see an Oreo with this filling.<\/p>\n

Those days are long gone, however, as the Double Stuff Oreo has become, in essence, the default Oreo. I mean really. Aside from sentimental old people who meticulously stick to a pre-bedtime routine of dunking exactly three Oreos in milk, does anyone really think they\u2019re getting the full cookies and cream experience by eating the “original” Oreo cookie?<\/p>\n

I sure as hell don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, those who favor the cream element of cookies and cream are feeling shortchanged. You know how I know that? Because there\u2019s a crapload of perfectly sane people out there who\u2019ve resorted to hacking Oreos<\/a> for the sake of maximizing their Oreo creme to cookie ratio. Heck, I\u2019d probably be one of those people if I didn\u2019t feel so bad about wasting all those chocolate wafer leftovers or incessantly worrying about straining my jaw muscles in an attempt to shove a Duodecuple Stuf Oreo into my mouth.<\/p>\n

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

I guess Nabisco has finally noticed. Like Kurt Bozwell calling for bigger Mondo Burgers in the 1997 smash-hit Good Burger<\/i>, the company has responded for our insatiable appetite for more creme filling by introducing the Limited Edition Mega Stuf Oreo.  Considering it\u2019s been about a month since the whole Birthday Cake Oreo thing came out in Golden Oreo form<\/a>, you might just say Nabisco has killed two birds with one stone by fulfilling their need for a new monthly Limited Edition flavor. Alas, and here I was hoping we\u2019d be getting a triple dark chocolate ganache filling in honor of Valentine\u2019s Day\u2026<\/p>\n

Being both the Oreo aficionado and failed investigative journalist I am, I was quite intent to take the Mega Stuf Oreo to task and see if it really would withstand more licks to dissolve the filling than the classic Double Stuf Oreo. Because I have the patience of a pre-snap read Peyton Manning, however, I was completely unable to subject my tongue to the kind of attrition needed to lick through both a Mega Stuf Oreo and Double Stuf Oreo in one sitting. So I just decided to weigh each Oreo to make it easier.<\/p>\n

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

The Mega Stuf Oreo weighed in at the advertised 18 grams per cookie, while the Double Stuf Oreo comes in at 15 grams per cookie (slightly above advertised weight.) After separating the creme fillings from the wafers, I discovered the Mega Stuf filling weighs in at 12 grams, while the Double Stuf filling packs only 7 grams. That\u2019s a 52.6% increase in filling right there, which, if you ask me, is a pretty big deal if you find yourself squarely on the side of the cr\u00e8me side of the cookies vs. cr\u00e8me debate.<\/p>\n

Thing is, this is exactly the kind of cookie to push me to the opposite side of the debate, because I just don\u2019t see the point in having a Mega Stuf filling over a Double Stuf filling. I also don\u2019t see the point in spelling “stuff” with only one “F,” but that\u2019s a different story for the next Limited Edition Oreo review.<\/p>\n

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

As for the Oreos themselves, forget for a second that the fillings, and the cookies, taste exactly<\/i> the same. Never mind for a moment that by biting into a single Mega Stuf Oreo you\u2019re getting as much sugar as a bowl of Peanut Butter Toast Crunch<\/a>. Put aside, if for only a moment, the overly crumbling nature of the cookie wafer, and the fact that it splits apart too easily with that annoying overstuffed sandwich syndrome that renders the chocolate cookie pretty much useless. How about just considering that a single package of Mega Stuf Oreos contains ten fewer cookies than a package of Double Stuf Oreos?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care where you fall on the cr\u00e8me vs. cookie side of the fence, because as far as I can tell, ten less cookies means bad for all of us Oreo lovers.<\/p>\n

With that being said, I still liked the Mega Stuf Oreo a lot, mostly because they taste exactly like Double Stuf Oreos. I just wish I wasn\u2019t getting shortchanged on my cookie count per container, because as any Oreo lover with tell you, bigger only means better if it means a bigger box of cookies.<\/p>\n
