WARNING: THIS PRODUCT MAY BE CONTAMINATED WITH MELAMINE
Saw this in Giant last week, the wrapper says it’s NEW! Struggled a bit at first but decided to give it a try anyway, figuring that any OREO products would be good.
OREO WaferSticks come in pack of 5 x 18g wafer sticks. The size is quite disappointing, measuring only a little bigger than my finger. Yeah I was fooled by the wrapper’s image of the wafer stick :P By the way, do you know how did the name OREO come around? According to Nabisco’s website…
- OREO was named by taking the “RE” out of cream and sandwiching it between the two “O”s from chocolate – just like the cookie.
- The name comes from the word “OR” (meaning gold in French) – a colour used on early packaging designs.
- OREO comes from the Greek word “OREO” which means mountain or hill. When the cookies were first manufacture, it was shaped like a baseball mound – hence the name OREO.
- Some say the name came about because it just seemed like a nice, melodic combination of sounds with just a few catchy letters and it was easy to pronounce.
Now that’s interesting.. but only no.1 makes sense to me lol.
A close up on the OREO WaferStick. Verdict: Worth a try out of curiosity, but you are better off sticking to REAL chocolate wafersticks or original OREO cookies. Why? Because after a week, there are still 4 sticks left :P
