I've looked at them from all angles and all I see is a round, more expensive borbon.

I amof course nbu, they are pointless

Take a bite they really don't taste the same, and the creme inside an oreo is normally white, although you can get chocolate flavour, but to answer you YABU oreo's are way nicer then borbons

ROFL

cocolepew · 07/04/2010 19:25

YABU they're much sweeter.

Molesworth · 07/04/2010 19:25

Oreos are thinner and crisper than bourbons (as well as having a white not brown filling)

AvadaKedavra · 07/04/2010 19:26

Yabu - much more chocolatey

bourbons are minging - oreos are heavenly

SuSylvester · 07/04/2010 19:28

no i thinkt he chocoalte is denser tasting

oldraver · 07/04/2010 19:28

DS loves Bourbons, (they are mostly Dairy Free). I've not let on that Oreos are similar

keepitsweet · 07/04/2010 19:28

Oreos are work of the devil, and tast absolutely foul.

Bourbons on the other hand although not the best biscuit in the world, are tasty enough to eat.

Therefore YABU

BendyBob · 07/04/2010 19:28

Ooh no I can't agree. Oreos have crumblier chocolatier biscuit and creamier cream.

Bourbons are tasteless and gritty and have brown cream and are a big disappointment.

One bourbon is enough. One Oreo is never enough.

I think this might have come up before about bourbons on mn and I was nearly boiled in oil for my heresy against them.

Hideous things.

Whatever happened to the Gypsy Creme?

LadyPeterWimsey · 07/04/2010 19:29

I love Oreos - bourbons taste pretty ordinary to me. Mind you, I rather like Hershey's chocolate so I admit that my taste buds might be a little foreign.

YABU. Bourbons taste like dust but Oreos are yummy. All dark and sweet and deep tasting (yes re: dense). Gypsy cremes were brilliant.

janeite · 07/04/2010 19:31

Hershey chocolate tastes like vomit imho.

Molesworth · 07/04/2010 19:33

Are Reece's Pieces made by Hershey? They're just about the most delicious thing in the world.

biddyofsuburbia · 07/04/2010 19:33

Excuse my ignorance but what's a gypsy creme?

SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus · 07/04/2010 19:34

Oreos are well advertised vileness, America should stay away from chocolte, i'm still recovering from the vileness that is Hersheys, the dissapointment scarred my tastebuds for life !

What zapostrophe said (although the British three-bite approach is new to me )

CheerfulYank · 07/04/2010 19:37

We do have a fab President, don't we?

I've never had Bourbons as we don't have them here, but I think oreos are deeeelicious. (Well, haven't had them in 5 years due to gluten issue, but I well remember their gloriousness!)

Hershey chocolate=vomit janeite?! Blasphemy! What kind of chocolate is most common there?

I think it all boils down to what you're used to of course.

lolapoppins · 07/04/2010 19:37

Packet of oreos, full fat milk, vanilla Ice cream and ice in a blender.

Obeceity in a cup, but the best milk shake in the world ever.

Or replace the milk with baillys and you will too pissed to care how many calories you are consuming.
