The big fat clue that tells you they aren\u2019t regular Oreo Thins before you pop them into your mouth is their Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen-like coconut aroma. Just one whiff and my mind is whisked away to a far away destination about one mile from my house to the beaches of Waikiki and rows of tourists that radiate the aromas of SPF 30-50. Even though it reminds me of sunscreen, it\u2019s an inviting scent.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m one of those people who likes the flavor of coconut, but doesn\u2019t like its texture. So if you\u2019re like me, there\u2019s good news because there aren\u2019t any coconut shreds, slices, specks, or scraps.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019ve had a problem with Oreo Thins ever since they debuted in the U.S. about two years ago. They\u2019re too easy to eat. The serving size is four cookies. But sometimes I eat six. Sometimes I eat eight. And sometimes I eat enough to get a stomachache.<\/p>\n<p>That hasn\u2019t been the case with these. But there\u2019s an odd reason why. <\/p>\n<p>With that first cookie, the semi-sweet chocolate wafers allow the sweet, artificial coconut flavor to hit my taste buds with just the right amount. It&#8217;s delightful.<\/p>\n<p>BUT.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Coconut-Oreo-Thins-3.jpg?resize=640%2C435\" alt=\"Coconut Oreo Thins 3\" title=\"Coconut Oreo Thins 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s something I notice when I eat a subsequent cookie right after the first. The coconut flavor that I experienced with the first cookie almost completely disappears. It\u2019s as if my taste buds are numb to it or the chocolate wafers are cocoblocking it. <\/p>\n<p>Eating four, six, eight, or enough to get a stomachache doesn\u2019t improve things. However, if I allow my taste buds to reset for 30 minutes or so, the coconut flavor comes back with another cookie. But those I eat right after lose their coconuttiness. It\u2019s a vicious cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, your results may vary. But it\u2019s disappointing to me because these are cookies I don\u2019t want to put down. They\u2019re really good. But to experience the best flavor, I have to put them down and wait. So I guess my original problem of Oreo Thins being too easy to eat is solved, but now there\u2019s another.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 4 cookies &#8211; 140 calories, 50 calories from fat, 6 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 90 milligrams of sodium, 45 milligrams of potassium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, 12 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.98<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 10.1 oz. package<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Times Supermarket<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Great cookies.
