I see that Oreo brand cookies (biscuits) have been available in the UK for a few years and seem to be doing well. For me at least they are too damned sweet as they use a boatload of corn fructose sweetener. Like many older Americans I wept in silence for the original chocolate creme filled cookie that preceded Oreo by four years (1908): Hydrox. It was sold to another conglomerate years ago and then reintroduced in an inferior form and then was discontinued. Lo & behold an entrepreneur has brought it back and made it better!! Old recipe with cane sugar, no GMO BS & no artificial sweeteners!! I bought a bag the other day and fell upon it like a leopard on a limping gazelle. I couldn't stop eating them. I set some aside in a bag for friends and soon I was even eating those!! I felt like an alcoholic hired as night watchman at a brewery. The shame!!
If you have a friend visiting the USA have them grab some to bring back for you. Of course, they will probably eat them on the plane.
