I once bit into what you USians call a "cookie" - it was an Oreo.

It's not a mistake I will ever make again.

    I went to the US once and brought back a bunch of chocolate bars like Snickers, Twix and KitKat, which we also have in Europe, because I was curious how they compared.

    The difference was night and day. The US ones tasted like pure sugar encased in wax, where in the European version, the chocolate was much nicer and you could actually taste the ingredients, and not just sugar. Though I also find them too sweet for me.

    Ah I'm partial to the occasional Oreo. They're nice and crunchy and pretty low calorie.

    I did a summer in the US in my youth and one of my favourite snacks was "double stuff" Oreo with half a Kraft cheese slice on either side.

    I'm curious to know what I'd think of it now.

    In my defence I went there a waif of a human and was exercising a lot so was insatiably hungry.

    Wow, kraft singles with double stuff Oreo. I imagine they granted you citizenship on the spot.
