T...Oreos may be something you have to grow up with. They are quite delicious dunked in milk, but: 1. the milk has to be quite cold, 2. you can't drink the last inch of your milk because it does leave cookie residue, and 3. you have to really enjoy milk as a beverage for it to work. I think a lot of people here in America eat Oreos primarily for the nostalgia value. I haven't had them for years but just remembering them now makes me hungry for them. I'm guessing if you tried to sell Americans "chocolate digestives," that wouldn't really work either.<br /><br />Are any cookies or biscuits these days NOT made primarily of artificial ingredients/preservatives?<br /><br />Beautiful cover.

Chances are I will be at the bookstore the morning of the release, looking for that beautiful cover.<br /><br />And I love Oreos, dunked or not dunked. The commercials here in the US suggest that they are properly eaten only if you twist the halves apart, dunk, lick, then reassemble before finally eating. I find this extremely odd.Kathrynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-82114378999463912832010-03-22T21:19:11.201+00:002010-03-22T21:19:11.201+00:00That cover is gorgeous.

Come to think of it, I haven't had Oreos for a long time, too. I will occasionally dunk hard/crunchy cookies, like biscotti, into my coffe, just to soften it up. I agree with Gail, though, I dislike the sludge at the bottom.Sabrina Favorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303054417674236268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-7844798379265707002010-03-21T19:04:50.338+00:002010-03-21T19:04:50.338+00:00Ginger nuts are nice dunked in milk, but for anyth...Ginger nuts are nice dunked in milk, but for anything else it should be tea, if dunking is going to happen.

No to dunking in cold drinks or coffee or any hot drink other than tea. A couple of biccies and a hot mug of tea is my welcome home treat after getting in from work. And watching Buffy on Sci Fi Channel at 7pm. Then watching more of her on DVD later. Yes, I'm a Slayer addict and need help.<br /><br />Love the US cover to CotWG.

In fact, I've pretty much gone off milk. If I have any at all in tea it's usually a small splash of skimmed, but milk for me is reserved mainly for cereal. I don't like Oreos either. Give me a good old chocolate digestive any day.Samminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-91457078008338787062010-03-19T22:13:17.220+00:002010-03-19T22:13:17.220+00:00I can not eat oreos unless I have a glass of cold ...I can not eat oreos unless I have a glass of cold milk to dip them in.
