It doesn\u2019t make sense, but it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>Listen, I can hear your outrage from here. \u201cVin likes Thins more than Oreos?! This is outrageous. Wait, who the heck is Vin?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I get it. I know people still have some problems with Oreo Thins. They convey an unattainable image to young Oreos. They\u2019re a false portrayal of what society thinks an Oreo should look like. Every new Oreo Thins flavor that hits shelves feels like a slight to Double Stuff Oreos the world over, but hey, I like what I like.<\/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\/Salted-Caramel-Oreo-Thins-2.jpg?resize=449%2C600\" alt=\"Salted Caramel Oreo Thins 2\" title=\"Salted Caramel Oreo Thins 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"449\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of new flavors, remember like a decade ago when you never even knew salted caramel was a thing? Can you believe we once lived in a world where \u201csweet and salty\u201d wasn\u2019t a super mainstream flavor profile? Now even the world\u2019s most famous cookie is dipping itself into the salted caramel pool.<\/p>\n<p>The new Salted Caramel Oreo Thins have that distinct Golden Oreo cookie smell with just a spritz of <em>eau de<\/em> stale caramel.<\/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\/Salted-Caramel-Oreo-Thins-4.jpg?resize=550%2C539\" alt=\"Salted Caramel Oreo Thins 4\" title=\"Salted Caramel Oreo Thins 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"539\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There isn\u2019t much cr\u00e8me per cookie, but I imagine you know the drill with Thins at this point. I personally prefer the Thins ratio to a normal Oreo. <\/p>\n<p>Honestly, the caramel flavor in these cookies isn\u2019t all that strong. It\u2019s more of a \u201cyeah, I guess that\u2019s caramel\u201d than anything, but it still tastes good. I wouldn\u2019t get my hopes up expecting a big blast of caramel flavor.<\/p>\n<p>As for the salt? It\u2019s there, but not overpowering. I did get a couple salt crystal crunches from time to time, which are always appreciated. I could be crazy but the cookie might have a little more saltiness to it than normal. Don\u2019t quote me on that though, I haven\u2019t had a Golden Oreo in a bit.<\/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\/Salted-Caramel-Oreo-Thins-3.jpg?resize=550%2C567\" alt=\"Salted Caramel Oreo Thins 3\" title=\"Salted Caramel Oreo Thins 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"567\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Caramel is a delicious flavor in general, but it\u2019s also very dependent on texture. Sure, I get annoyed when a chewy, sticky piece of caramel sticks in my molar, but that\u2019s also part of the charm. The caramel \u201ccr\u00e8me\u201d in these cookies doesn\u2019t hold a candle to a good piece of actual caramel. You might as well call it \u201ccar-mull\u201d cr\u00e8me like one of those weirdos who say \u201ccar-mull.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure people will complain about the lack of normal sized Salted Caramel Oreos. Let me tell you something \u2013 they wouldn\u2019t be good. This is the perfect ratio of cr\u00e8me to cookie. A double serving of this cr\u00e8me would be gross even with more cookie to counter it. They knew what they were doing.<\/p>\n<p>So, these aren\u2019t bad. Salted caramel doesn\u2019t necessarily lend itself to a cr\u00e8me consistency, but these go down easy. <\/p>\n<p>I hope Nabisco continues to drop exclusive flavors on its Thins line, because that\u2019s a line I want to walk.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 4 cookies \u2013 150 calories, 60 calories from fat, 6 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 100 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 11 grams of sugar, and less than 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.00<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 10.1 oz. package<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Stop &#038; Shop<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Solid caramel-ish flavor with a touch of salt.
