I was introduced to Oreo's by my wife who grew up in Florida. Don't like them too much though. They make them smaller now too.
When I visited the US in October I saw a funny Oreo commercial where this six-year-old kid gets a hold of one of the new mini-oreos at school. He runs home as fast as he can. Into his room to check his size against the markings on the wall (or doorframe?), because he thinks he grew two sizes, now that the oreo in his hand is suddenly so small.
Btw., they make them with chocolate filling too. I like that more, but still I prefer the German "Prinzenrolle" - a "normal" cookie pair with soft light chocolate filling - over any kind of oreos.
Anyway, TTFN.
