      Bourbons were just copying the already successful Hydrox cookies. Hydrox is superior to both Bourbons and Oreo, because they have always been vegan

      If memory serves, the original oreo, which had some shit futuristic name that makes it sound like a cleaning product or something, are older than bourbons, but bourbons are older than oreos.

          Yeah, bourbons and oreos are both vegan. I can’t speak for whether or not a rabbi was present for their slaughter, or whatever.

              (Maybe they are kosher, sorry. I was just making a joke of ignorance between kosher and halal. Figured we might as well conflate Islam and Judaism)

    The US sees an item not referred to by a corporate brand name, and wouldn’t have it.

    They’re not alone in it, but their suseptiblity to macro-marketing can only be described as “American level”.

      The brand name is far from the point here but why bother when “grumble grumble America bad” is an option.

    They’re called “chocolate sandwich biscuits” in the UK? Huh, I always call them “overrated”.

    I kinda agree but probably for opposite reasons. There’s no sliced bread OR butter so it can’t be a sandwich. And I’m fairly sure there’s no actual chocolate in there. Oreos are definitely biscuits tho.
