Moore's law isn't dead, it just applies to treat shrinkflation now.

    I always get the store brand oreos, tastes just as good and they're much larger. Now they also have far more filling apparently as well.

        Maybe in the US, but I'm not sure how it works internationally. Probably still though. Weird that they don't shrink all of them at the same time (though a lot of store brand everything has been getting discontinued lately, so that's probably their plan)

      Yes. I got a pack of double stuf ones and they looked just like a normal Oreo so I got some normal ones and they're less than half as thick as they were the last time I bought Oreos maybe 2-3 years ago.

      This is not my photo though

          the mint oreo thins are a passable replacement for the girlscout thin mints that changed the recipe a decade ago to be healthier or some shit and don't taste as good anymore.

      This is not all that easy. You'd need to get the dough, the thickness, the temperature, and the baking time just right, and then it would take about an hour per bag.

      Most foods that involve a lot of sophistication are really good, but Oreos really aren't. Overrated cookie losing value.

          Hell yeah.

          Oreos are distinguished mostly by their texture (remember, Americans eat aesthetics instead of substance) and little else.

          They're another food where you don't really crave or desire it, you just say "yeah I could smash a bag of those".

      I maybe fucked up with the picture I just got it from Google images but I swear that regular and double stuf Oreos are way way thinner than I remember them being, and many people on the internet also have noticed based on googling it

      Yeah they have been getting progressively thinner and thinner, apparently they now even make a thing called an "Oreo thin" which is even more thinner. Wild.

        yea but the Oreo thins cost the same or even more as normal oreos
        I just want the biscuits and to not be charged, or at least charged a little less, for the nonexistent creme filling

    Thesis: Shrinkflation

    Antithesis: Supersizing

    Synthesis: You need to buy more Oreos to dip into your Big Gulp

    porky-scared-flipped: "I can't believe workers are QUIET QUITTING! Company loyalty is DEAD!"

    Does porky not realize that a lot of the time, we learn those behaviors from him? After all, if I do work and not get compensated when I could be shitposting or doing anything else. That's just leaving money on the table. It's just business, nothing personal, porko.

    Come on, you ate the cream and then clamped them together for this pic. No way Nabisco would just sell fake Oreos with no filling like this!

      Apparently this photo is actually of something I've never seen called an "Oreo thin" which has also been getting thinner due to shrinkflation. I didn't take the photo but I swear to you they're much thinner than I remember them being
