She needs to know out of generic (store brand) and namebrand Oreo's which you prefer?

I love to save $$$ but I think the store brand oreos are blech..

butter, peanut butter, and oreos I pretty much stick to name brand :)

I prefer Oreos, but if I am actually buying (which happens about once a year), I buy generic. lol I am cheap, but they do taste better.

I'm all for store brand on some things...but Oreos would not be one of them. lol

Only in the last week have I started eating these babies again. I love Oreos. The cheap rip offs don't even compare for me in terms of taste and I'm a sucker for packaging. We just stock up when they're on sale :D

You need an option for 'don't like either' (that'd be me)

yea me either Stacy. But those are the only two options. it is an essay and the only thing she could think of AND was allowed to do was generic/name brand(she wanted to do a comparison of domesticated verses farm animals but the teacher said no). It is supoposed to be a comparative speech for english.You need an option for 'don't like either' (that'd be me)

I think its kinda funny that so many dislike the store brand/generic LOL Honestly because I dont eat them I wouldnt really know the difference I dont think. Yall wanna come invade her class because she will be using them as "props" tomorrow LOL. You get free cookies :)

Personally unless they are the "uh oh oreos" or the "golden oreos" I can't stand any of the brown/chocolate sandwich kinds.

Me too Sharon but I actually like the store brand on some of those. Like I get lemon ones which are store brand sandwich cookies and I also get honey graham with peanut butter filling which is store brand and they are both really good.

Personally unless they are the "uh oh oreos" or the "golden oreos" I can't stand any of the brown/chocolate sandwich kinds.

My mom bought hydrox when we were kids. I don't think I cared then, I was just happy to get a cookie when she bought them. Now that I do the shopping I can taste the difference and buy oreos when they are on sale. I love the double stuff ones!

I voted for Oreo's, but if there was an option, I would choose Newman's Own version of the Oreo...pretty darn good & better for you ;)

Thanks guys!! (from me and my daughter) She is finished. Quoted a few of your responses for the project and it seems hands down that Oreo's are preferred over the generics (although surprisingly the generics are lower in calories and fat then the real Oreos), Anyhow it was just a quick poll since she had already polled all of us and everyone (except me) said they preferred Oreos.

I've seen those Oreos at the mall sometimes, but they're not popular in Italy at all.. I think I may try them soon though.. :)

In oreos there's a huge difference. In a lot of other things, not so much.

I'm in the I DON'T LIKE OREOS camp with Stacy & la

Yea Darcy there are store brands Ill buy like I dont mind store brand yogurt or milk or soemtimes cheese (although I think Cracker Barrel cheddar is probably the best tasting cheese ever). ketchup I only like Heinz. I dont mind store brand vegies at all. When we buy steak sauce I will only buy A1. Ive tried other types but they just dont taste as good. Oh and store brand mac and cheese is NASTY!! Ive tried it and I cannot stand it. I like Kraft or Velveeta when we have mac and cheese

Oh meant to add that we do sometimes buy the store brand sandwich cookies (not oreo type) because I really dont like chocolate flavor and I think they taste fine. My favorites are lemon & peanut butter/honey graham

I voted for real Oreos over generic but I don't really eat them much at all. I do like the Newman's Own and the ingredients are much better. And if you like the peanut butter kind, the Peanut Butter Creme by Back to Nature are yummy. Mmmm. It's been a while since we've had those too. This poll is making me hungry. Good luck to your daughter on her school project.
