Tp4 can not trust oneself around these things.

It is hard to limit myself to less than 4-5 Oreos, even when I strive to keep it to 3.

I can’t stop at less than four Custard Creams, that’s my real vice.

I’m t-total I’m afraid (liver condition), but that does mean it’s always an acceptable time for a bourbon.

Tennessee whiskey is not bourbon.

Tennessee whiskey is to bourbon as Irish whisky is to Scotch.

Like when you try and pull the top layer off a Bourbon, so that you can eat the bit without cream and then the bit WITH cream, but the cream ends up half on each side?

I just had Oreos in frozen custard (TP4 have mercy) yesterday, which is the only acceptable form of Oreos.

Yes, that is annoying. But I eat the side with the cream first. I let it dissolve in my mouth, and later simply crunch the dry side quickly when its turn comes.

Tried it when it came out, it's the candied watermelon flavor. Taste good, but don't think anyone has ever done faux watermelon right, the texture makes such big difference to the feel.

After a person's first Real experience,  they will never forget,  watermelon is Truth..

I don't think that anyone has ever done any faux fruit right.

Fruit is delicate and ephemeral, and just because you hit a few of the basic fundamental flavor notes it does not provide the essential "fruit" experience.

That said, I will sometimes get something like citrus or berry sherbet or hard candy, but it must have a distinct sourness to even begin to evoke enjoyment.

Are Oreos really that great, or is it mostly nostalgia because you had grown up with them?

Oh yes, Oreos really are that great for a sheer pure decadent refined sugar/processed chocolate rush they can't be beat.

They crunch under your teeth, coat your tongue, and the glucose hits your bloodstream in nanoseconds.

Let's not forget,  that's not cream, that's pure chemically adulterated Hydrogenated Vegetable Fats.

WAY healthier than real cream. and NO CHOLESTEROL.

You should try the Fuji Apple flavor of Clear American sparkling water. I don't know how they did it, but it tastes *exactly* like biting into an apple, down to the flavor of the skin as you bite through it into the flesh. It tastes as much, if not more, like a whole apple as apple juice itself. The other flavors are tasty too although not as accurate, but somehow the Fuji Apple flavor is spot-on.

In regards to fake fruit taste I actually have a soft spot for that fake banana flavor, like the banana Now And Laters. So many people dislike that flavor for some reason, same with grape.

To me it's that fake or dehydrated strawberry flavor, like strawberry Nesquick or Kit Kats where it's just off tasting like some chemical mixed with post-vomit milk. Strawberry has got to be fresh.

Yeah! Same my wife! These are so sweet but still, I can eat whole pack. Even my daughter can't grab one before I finish it.
