OREO DOUBLE STUFF

Double Stuff Oreo's have been around for years in their home country of the USA (where they are called Double Stuf with one F!), but now they've made their way over to the UK. The 'stuff' in question is in fact "vanilla flavour filling' comprising of Whey Powder, Salt, Emulsifier, Vanillin Flavouring and Gluten.

But Stuff sounds better.

OK SO WE ALL LOVE NORMAL OREOS - BUT ARE DOUBLE STUFFS TWICE AS GOOD??? After all who doesn't like double Whey Powder and Gulten? OK Let's see. For a start, the packet makes the bold claim that:

"Each oreo double stuff cookie contains double the creme filling (in grams) versus a standard oreo cookie."

IS IT TRUE?

Well Gobble Monkey carefully disected a normal Oreo and a Double Stuff Oreo to remove the 'creme' filling. Each 'dollop' of 'stuff' was then weighed in some blue scales.

UNFORTUNATELY OUR SCALES WERE NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH AND FAILED TO REGISTER THE WEIGHT OF EITHER 'CREME' FILLING. Anyway, it looks like the Double Stuff is roughly twice as big as the normal one doesn't it?

As for the taste, by doubling the filling Oreos are taking a MASSIVE RISK. Yes, the vanilla creme was always the nicest bit of an oreo, but is this too much of a good thing? Mayonaise is everyone's favourite part of a sandwich, but would you eat a mayonaise sandwich? No you wouldn't. Luckily the double creme isn't overpowering, and delivers just the right amount of creamy sweetness to off-set the slightly salty chocolate biscuit.

But if doubling the filling improves the taste of an oreo by 100% - what if you TRIPLED the filling?

Or even QUADRUPLED the filling?

SADLY THE EXPERIMENT COLLAPSES AS THE CREME REACHES CRITICAL LEVELS. Look at this graph:

Gobble Monkey can confirm that the optimum stuff level is indeed 'double', and therefore Double Stuff Oreo's recieve the full 7 out of 7 rating.
