Are there different Oeros? What you described doesn't seem to fit the description of a the North American Oreo. It's artificial sweetened shortening wedged between two chocolaty "wafers". No powdery sugar involved.

  Oh yeah there's a ton of varieties, but I was wondering if there was a regional thing here where the products are totally different even with the same name, like chips.

    No I mean the classic (I assume) dark wafer with white shortening in it. Now I also remembered how vile the white stuff is too - it kind of sticks to your upper palate. There are sugar overloaded competitors [0], which are pretty shameless too. But at least they taste like an honest lot of sugar, flavouring, fat and flour. I feel bad for kids getting fat on Oreos. If you get fat on real sweets, at least you taste something decent in the process. Oreos are vile. I have given them the benefit of a doubt! I have even tried putting them in ice cream, thinking maybe they are just too sweet, and that their sweetness will fit better together with something else not as intensely sweet. But no, the ice cream just diluted the Oreo vile-ness. The perverted, gone-one-step-too-far industrial wiff of Cthulhu was still in there, carefully masking the fun from each spoonful of icecream.

      That's a lot of vitriol for a tasty vegan snack.

        Uranium, selected from the finest natural ore, carefully enriched, is vegan too. :)

        Harder to chew though.

        Just grind it fine enough and mix it with vegetable shortening.
