My Long-Awaited Review Of Oreo Churros

     No less than 3 people sent me articles about Oreo Churros when the news broke.  For the longest time I couldn't find them in stores (I even got a rare comment on a blog of someone offering to help).  About 3 weeks ago I finally found them in the freezer section at the store.  No fucking wonder I couldn't find them, since when are Oreos in the freezer section?  Should I have reviewed them sooner after getting them?  Yes.  But I don't get paid so I don't care.
First off let's check out the instructions:
In the fryer?  What the hell is this?  I'm not buying a fryer just for some goddamn churros.  Toaster oven it is.
Get your ingredients together.
Preheat your toaster oven to 400F- done.
Put your churros in the oven for 7 minutes. Safety first!
After you take your churros out you can put on the crumb sugar topping.
The instructions say to roll the churros in the topping but that doesn't work too well.  I suggest using a spoon to shake the topping on.
     Now we can get to the review of the churros.  Mainly, the reason they are called churros.  What is a churro?  Let's go to Wiktionary to find out.

Noun[edit]
churro ‎(plural churros)

A fried pastry, typically eaten as a dessert and with chocolate beverage.







     Ok well that answers why I should have used a fryer.  I don't think the chocolate beverage is a necessity just because it's delicious, right?  That's like saying Taco Bell is only Taco Bell if you have it with beer.  Yeah you need to be drunk for it to be edible, but that's not technically a part of the quesalupa.
     It's definitely something new from Oreo.  I guess they've been reading my blog since I've been saying for a while now that all they do is spitball random flavors and hope something sticks.  They're thinking outside the box which is good.
     Anyway how did it taste?  The churro itself tasted like the cookie part of the Oreo but less dense.  The cream is harder to tell.  Since it was sitting in a toaster oven for 7 minutes obviously it won't have the same consistency as the the cream in a cookie at room temperature.  I wasn't overwhelmed, but it was still pretty good.
     BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!  The box says 20 bites.  Clearly says "Approx. 20 bites."  I got fucking 16 bites.  Is 20% off approximate?  Because if so then I'll just approximate my score for the Oreo Churros.  That's almost a full serving of churros that I just didn't get.  And this isn't the first time it's happened with Oreos.  A few weeks ago I got box with about half a row just not packaged.  So Oreo churros get a 6/10.  If someone at Mondelez wants to hook me up with a box that isn't suspiciously lighter than average, I will be happy to adjust my score.

    Just means your mouth is 25% bigger than everyone elses. Those of us who know you aren't surprised.
