Oreo needs to be stopped.

r/

Oreos are trash and overhyped, and we do not need an Oreo variation of every single snack product and baked good in every single grocery store.

I’m so tired of seeing Oreo cakes, and ice cream, and, and frosting, and candy…

Even Oreo has a cookie and cream version of Oreo (Loaded Oreos). We get it, you (and everyone else for some freaking reason) think you’re the best cookie in the world.

There are better cookies. 😑

Edit: Yes, I may, in fact, be Brennan (I’m not…but I definitely agree with Brennan 😂😂😂). And with that, have fun disagreeing or agreeing with me over cookies. Thanks for the upvotes, I’ve had fun going back and forth over Oreos. 💜🫂 Nothing but love for everyone here. Honestly!

    They don’t need to have a dozen or more varieties taking up most of the cookie aisle in the store

  5. Penarol1916 Avatar

    You’ve got two different arguments going here, the first of which completely negates the need for you to make your second one. You hate Oreos. Good, unpopular opinion, please go on to explain what it is you hate about them and what cookies are better. But you don’t do that, instead you talk about hating that Oreos are being put into everything else. Who cares? You cheesy times you hate Oreos, do you think anyone would care about you not liking Oreo stuff too? That’s assumed man. What a waste.

    “I don’t like this cookie so no one should have it” is certainly an “opinion.”

    It’s a trend here. Being emotionally hurt by there being choices you choose not to take.

    Definitely unpopular! Have an upvote!

  8. chefhifrequency Avatar

    Agree fully with this opinion though clearly it’s unpopular because of just how everywhere Oreos are. Don’t see how they beat out chocolate chip tbh.

    What cracks me up is cookies n cream flavored Oreos. Oreo flavored Oreos.

    Have you ever had homemade Oreos? I found a recipe online and they were SO much better than the store bought ones! I slightly underbaked the cookie part so they were a bit softer, and you can add as much of as little of the cream as you want 🤤 (the cream is made with both butter and shortening in this recipe)

    Oreo hype is just a hype centered around mediocre product. Just like most hypes

  15. fakecrimesleep Avatar

    Most of the novelty Oreos are just too freaking sweet. It’s funny, when I was a kid I was all about the cream. Now I’m all about the cookie cause the cream just feels like I’m biting into a bag of sugar

  16. Comfortable_Salad893 Avatar

    I agree actually. I still eat it because I do like them. But its just sugar and fat with a slight chocolate taste to it. I can and have made better versions of it. And also it NEEDS milk to make them editable. You can’t wat a ore without a drink

  17. Chrahhh Avatar

    I think one thing Oreos have going for them—aside from being fun and delicious—is the fact they’re vegan. Anyone can enjoy an Oreo.

    Never liked them. Cookies need to be hot out of the oven.

    Oreo the regular one is amazing, the rest is trash

  24. To-To_Man Avatar

    This isn’t an Oreo problem, this is an overconsumption problem.

    Brands are now partnering with other brands because they are iconic, recognized, and safe. If you see “Oreo flavored” or “Reece’s peanut butter” or “cinnamon toast crunch flavored” you instantly know the flavor. Versus just cookies and cream, etc

    Then, because it’s a brand name flavor instead of a normal one, they upcharge. It’s called premiumization. Unnecessary “upgraded” to products while “inferior” and cheaper versions are retired.

    And because it works so well, brands are just throwing themselves at each other for extra revenue and recognition. Products that are just cookies and cream or just peanut butter are dying off to their brand name competition.

    Listen, beggers can’t be choosers. (One of the only cookies that have a gulten free ver. that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.)

    Downvoted bc i fuckin hate oreos

  30. FrannieP23 Avatar

    Actually I completely agree with you, having been a Pickup grocery clerk recently. I don’t know how the brand keeps going. The weird varieties certainly weren’t popular with customers I was shopping for. Most ordered plain ones or double-stuffed.

  31. No-Weird3153 Avatar

    The cookie that sells so well that each of their two most popular skus (original and double stuf) outsells their largest competitor’s entire cookie line. The cookie that Walmart and Target put on the end of the aisle so people know it’s the cookie aisle because that cookie is so popular.

    OP finding that cookie to be overrated is in fact an unpopular opinion, so congrats.

    Just for our edification, what do you believe the best cookie available at a store is?

  32. PM_ME_YOUR_PORTRAIT Avatar

    Oreos are disgusting, I hate that it’s generally considered a good cookie. I get sick from them if I eat more than 1 and the chocolate part is weirdly bitter.

    Why do people like this black colored cookie with sugary palm oil paste? I’ll take my own homemade cookies over ANY store bought one, any day of the week.

  33. Hot_Statistician_466 Avatar

    Hah, I actually agree with this one! European here (Balkans), so they’re not that common, but I’ve tried a few variants and they tasted terrible compared to what I usually get.

  34. magicalpiratedragon Avatar

    How dare you! Oreo is my lord and savior.

    On a serious note, I think you’re right that there are too many flavors, but I really enjoy that they’re still “innovating” and trying new things. To me, it’s fun to walk down the cookie aisle and see what new thing Oreo has put out. Some are good, some are crap, but at least it’s new. I feel like no other packaged snack food company is trying new things, besides Doritos perhaps.

  35. miata85 Avatar

    oreos taste bitter and the cream is almost tasteless, i dont like them, nevermind how they’re historically the offbrand. other brands will at least have some taste.

    This Canadian agrees. Oreos are dog shit cookies. So are just about every single cookie found on the shelf. Dry ass pieces of dog food. Freshly home made or nothing for me.

    Man I was called crazy for not liking Oreos. I fall under this opinion too. Love cookies just not Oreos or anything cookies and cream hyuck

  48. Verethragna97 Avatar

    Agreed.

    The cookie is nasty.

    Not even the filling is good.

  49. IndependenceOk7554 Avatar

    are they even cookies? they are just additives and preservatives and something for color and something for consistency. basically pretty poison formed like a dishwasher tab in a casing like dishwasher tabs.

    I feel that man. I can’t stand Oreos. I don’t understand why they are so loved. My wife and her family love Oreos. They all eat them. My wife will eat some Oreos almost every night. I don’t see the appeal. There are so many other better cookies out there.

    I agree

    i fucking hate oreos

    the cracker tastes like a burnt piece of cardboard and the cream is uninteresting

    I feel you OP, Oreos fucking suck, I can’t fathom how anyone could like that fake cookie.

    Honestly, I kinda agree. I like Oreos, but they’re really nothing special.

  57. AlternativeBasket Avatar

    Thank you! Having not grown up with Oreos I don’t have the nostalgia filter making me think they are great. There are better cookies. I make my own.

  58. figley-figtree Avatar

    I’m going to say I agree with this, much to the disappointment of my friends XD. I find oreos too sweet and just not very tasty in general. I think I have only ever enjoyed eating the mint flavoured press but even then I could only have two at a time, and I haven’t ever thought they were worth buying more of after I finished the packet. Having said that, I do love a good cookies and cream flavoured cheesecake 😋

    I fucking hate Oreos they are trash and way too sugary

  60. OkayOpenTheGame Avatar

    I’m with you OP, Oreos are probably the most overrated snack food in existence. The cookies are bland and too hard, the cream is just sugar paste, and they don’t even taste any better than their much cheaper counterparts.

  61. More_Accountant_8141 Avatar

    Cookies and creme is the worst, its sickeningly sweet. Oreos are tiny and trash.

    I 100% agree. Oreo’s are the most overrated cookies ever. They’re tasteless garbage.

    Oreo’s also aren’t the original of their type of cookies. They’re a rip-off from Hydrox.

  64. Simon_Drake Avatar

    Oreos are relatively new to England but their existence was known from American TV shows. I bought a pack, excited to see what all the fuss was about. And they kinda suck. Is that it? It’s like a slightly more bitter chocolate bourbon at 5x the price.
