It could also be the assumption that the wafers are all the same (they may not be see below). You also assumed that the chocolate and vanilla stufs in the Triple Double are the same, which they probably aren’t (two Chocolate Double Stuf Oreos are 150 calories, not the 140 of the vanilla Double Stuf). As you noted, having reached a contradiction means that something in your original formulations was wrong, but it wasn’t necessarily your assumption that double stuf is truly double.
I wasn’t aware of your blog until you let the Taste section folks know about it, and I admire your willingness to stand up and be seen with a figurative slide rule in your hand.Īll that said, I’m afraid I have to disagree with your conclusion about the Double Stuf Oreo. But it was going to get rather intensely numerical, and my editor believes (correctly, I’m afraid) that most readers drop out by the second appearance of a calculation - which is when I’m just warming up. More than a year ago I started to take on the matter of how much of what (cookie/filling) were provided in the various versions of Oreos then available (original, double stuf, chocolate, double chocolate stuf, mint, etc.).
#OREO MEGA STUF VS DOUBLE STUFF FULL#
The new-groceries beat is full of examples of one kind of stupidity or another, but the Oreo is the easiest and silliest target I have been lucky enough to glom onto. You’d think I’d never seen the internet.Īnyway, here’s my whole stupid comment, minus pictures.įirst, thanks for the very kind words. Nope, that bad boy isn’t any better than unopentuagenuple. Using my new assumption-that Double Stuf is not double stuff and a side calculation (complicated, but interesting) which suggests that Double Stuf is really stuff, the solution to the regular/Triple-Double system is consistent with the solution to the regular/Double Stuf system.Īnd that means the Oreo below is not a duoseptuagenuple stuf Oreo, Doc Blades’ claim notwithstanding. I solved the regular/Triple-Double system and concluded that each wafer weighs about 1.7 grams and each unit of stuf is about 8 grams.
