Great Value Twist & Shout Double Filled Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, Family Size, 20 oz

The other reviews might mislead you. These are not unbranded Oreos from the same factory, nor are they stale, inedible trash. I think they taste most similar to Oreos when having been soaked in milk. On their own they have a sort of smokiness, i guess you can say, that the name brand Oreos do not. I only bought the double stuffed because I was worried that they would be underfilled, as other reviewers had noted on the regular filling ones, but I did not find that to be the case. My thinking was that if they are normally underfilled, then double stuffed should have an acceptable normal Oreo level amount of filling, but I found these to be actually double stuffed by Oreo standards. I'm part of the weird bunch that actually likes the cookie part more than the filling so it wasn't ideal for me but I did still enjoy these. Like I said, soak them in milk and you'll barely be able to tell the difference, if at all.

I wasn't expecting much money I bought these. I mean to be honest I thought it was just another store brand knock off of a leading brand. I hadn't had dinner yet on the way home from the store. I'll reach in the backseat and grabbed the package out of the bag. (I was at a red light.) I tried one of the cookies. I had five minutes remaining of my drive home and then five minutes. I proceeded to eat several cookies, more than I'd care to admit. It was clear to me that the goal on these cookies was not just to be a knock off of another brand. These cookies are out to compete head to head against the leading brands and they are bringing it. The crispy chocolate cookie wafers provide the perfect crunch which is complimented quite well but the smooth creamy filling. The flavors come thru as nicely balanced. One opportunity that was noticeable immediately is improved consistency in the construction of each cookie. There is a noticeably different level of filling between many of the cookies. Some of them having disappointingly low amount of filling, considering that the package says these are double stuffed. Overall, no, they don't taste like the leading national brand you might be thinking of. These Twist and Shout cookies I actually taste like sandwich cookies.
