Oh, hello there! <\/p>\n

I\u2019m just going through a list of Nabisco cookies that have yet to be thin-ified by Mondelez International.<\/p>\n

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

After the success of Oreo Thins, which I\u2019ve said are better than regular Oreo cookies on numerous occasions to random people in the cookie aisle who didn\u2019t ask for my opinion, Nabisco has given the thin treatment to the beloved(?) Chips Ahoy. They appear to be slightly more than half as thin as the original, but they aren\u2019t as thin as those chip-like cookies out there. <\/p>\n

Oh. Why is there\u2019s a question mark in parentheses? Because I\u2019ve been told by numerous people in person and on the internet that the mass produced snack is a sad excuse for a chocolate chip cookie. For the record, I do not feel this way. <\/p>\n

But here’s a better use of a question mark: Are Chips Ahoy Thins better than regular Chips Ahoy cookies, much like I believe Oreo Thins are greater than regular Oreo cookies?<\/p>\n

Yes(?)<\/p>\n

Why is there a question mark there? Well, why is there an exclamation point after Chips Ahoy? It\u2019s unnecessary and it makes you think there\u2019s more to it than there really is, but there isn’t.<\/p>\n

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

The flavor of Chips Ahoy Thins isn\u2019t exactly like the regular variety, but in no way will it make you think of anything other than Chips Ahoy. I think the chocolatey chips are a little more pronounced since there\u2019s less of the cookie part and that’s about it. As someone who enjoys Chips Ahoy, I think they taste fine and if I was Santa Claus (Maybe I am. HO! HO! HO!) I\u2019d enjoy these with a glass of milk.<\/p>\n

But what makes these better in my mind is their molar-satisfying, head-rattling crunch. They have a more gratifying crunch than a regular Chips Ahoy, but they\u2019re not as crispy as the previously mentioned cookie chips. Their combination of flavor and texture make them hard to stop eating. I want to eat these like I do potato chips, which is the same thing I experienced with Oreo Thins. <\/p>\n

Basically, Chips Ahoy Thins are a different experience of something you know and love, if you love Chips Ahoy. I imagine it’s like discovered in unattempted part of the Kama Sutra<\/i> or watching Game of Thrones<\/i> in a different language.<\/p>\n

\nCons:<\/b> Just a thinner version of Chips Ahoy. Using weird question mark references in a review. Too easy to eat a dozen in one sitting. Giving snack opinions to strangers in a store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
