If i could rate it less than 1 i would. I truly cannot imagine a scenario in which someone would walk away from eating these happy. From the outset, their concept of "healthy" Oreos feels flimsy at best. Per serving, they're about 30 calories less than normal, and it's all due to what must be back-market or surplus chemicals. When I first ate one, I went in with high expectations--they'd worked with just about every CPG and Snack influencer I could think of to get them on my timeline. Then I tasted them.
I like to describe them as a hat trick of unfortunate decisions. To start, they taste just like stale Oreo's—you know the taste, more cardboard than cookie, but hey there's probably something sweet coming around the bend. Wrong. The second taste I got can only be described as "oh, so this is why people say they don't like aspartame." I have, historically, never minded a fake taste, but i think that's more because in the past it's been used sparingly or, dare I say it, well. That is not the case here. They taste they like chemicals still wish they were still in the plastic bottle they came from. Then finally, after all that, I figured they couldn't get worse, but thats when the lingering, festering, after taste came. It's like my body didn't want me to forget as a punishment. Or maybe they were just living up to their name "Sundays" and giving me the scaries. Either way, it felt like every cookie left a little mark of negativity that stuck, coated to my mouth, and unwilling to give up the ghost.
All in all, it's been my pleasure to let everyone I know not to eat them. It's been a masterclass in branding and something beautiful or expensive doesn't always mean it's better. I promise you, buy the Oreo and put some peanut butter on it if you're that worried about your protein intake. Just don't, don't eat these.

I truly don't know what you could do to make these better. Back to the drawing board? Bring in a chef? Convert to a dog food brand?
