When I read about filled cupcake Oreos I was excited but it says release instead of released. And that really confused me to whether it's out or not Devalcz (talk) 02:04, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly Devalcz, I think you missed them... they came out in February. I've changed the wording and sourced the claim with that article. On a side note, that flavor list is a mess. I'll see what I can do to fix it. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (^Complaints|_Mistakes) 02:10, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Varieties" section, there are missing citations for the introduction of certain types of Oreo. Some of these include but not limited to: Mega Stuf Oreo, Football Oreo, Oreo Thins, Chocolate Oreos, and more. Dwab17 (talk) 01:48, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the history section, the text states: "there is a risk of cross-contamination from other dairy-containing products made in the same production areas." A voluntary recall for such cross-contamination actually occurred in October of 2016. Here is a link to the recall notice: http://us.mondelezinternational.com/~/media/MondelezCorporate/us/uploads/downloads/press-releases/2016/PR_MDLZ_OREO_RECALL.pdf I leave it to others more active on this page to decide if you want to include this in the article.

The constant warring in the lede between cookie, biscuit and wafer is unhelpful. Preferences aside, the article gives dues weight to both the cookie and biscuit terminology. I've changed the term to "snack food" with nods to wafer, cookie, and biscuit included in the article text. Orville1974 (talk) 18:53, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

At the risk of redundancy with "sweet crème filling" I just put "sweet" in front of "snack food" to distinguish it from savo(u)ry varieties such as crisps/chips. Not married to my edit, will see how it goes. Just plain Bill (talk) 19:05, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The phrase "sweet snack food" strikes me as awkward. I think we should just pick either "sandwich cookie" or "sandwich biscuit" as the primary term to use in the lead. I vote "sandwich cookie". Oreo is an American brand so it makes sense to give precedence to the American terminology. Here is my proposed wording:

An Oreo (/ˈɔːrioʊ/) is a sandwich cookie consisting of two (usually chocolate) wafers with a sweet crème filling. Introduced in 1912, Oreos are the best selling cookies in the United States.

Note also that I've eliminated the word "brand". I don't think it makes much sense to say that a "brand" consists of two wafers with creme filling. WanderingWanda (talk) 23:50, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note that https://www.Oreo.com, https://twitter.com/Oreo and, surprisingly, https://Oreo.co.uk all use the word "cookie". WanderingWanda (talk) 21:16, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Change The term "Oreo" has been used as a disparaging and offensive reference to a black person who is perceived or judged to act in a "white manner". to The term "Oreo" has been used as a disparaging and offensive slur towards a black person who is perceived or judged to act in a "white manner. 204.186.240.186 (talk) 21:39, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Calling the term a "slur" seems reasonable to me – The New York Times does in this article – but I'm not sure that we need to gild the lily by calling it disparaging AND offensive AND a slur. WanderingWanda (talk) 22:24, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Guild the lily came up as an linking error. What do you mean exactly? 204.186.240.186 (talk) 00:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
