Skinny Oreos? Thins on the way for grown-ups, Mondelez says

Oreos are getting a skinny new look, and its maker says the new cookie is a "sophisticated" snack for grown-ups that isn't meant to be twisted or dunked.

Mondelez International says it will add "Oreo Thins" to its permanent lineup in the U.S. starting next week. The cookies look like regular Oreos and have a similar cookie-to-filling ratio, except that they're slimmer. That means four of the cookies contain 140 calories, compared with 160 calories for three regular Oreos.

You can have the white stufff on the left. Me, a gallon of ice cold whole milk with a quart of cream added, and my shadow will be more than happy to aid in the repurposing of those poor, sad, lonely bits of bittersweet chocolate delight.

Of course, the cat and dogs will be quite attentive witnesses to my dedicated travails in finding a good home for those neglected wafers.

I *MIGHT* let them have the leftover milk. Maybe. But I doubt it...

Oreos be like Uncle Toms, black on the outside, but white on the inside.
