    All the brits in here don’t even understand, it’s not about the brand name you ninnys, they’re chocolate sandwich cookies.

    FIX BAYONETS!

      How is it a chocolate sandwich though?

      I have a ham sandwich, or I have a salami sandwich. I don’t have a “bread sandwich.”

      The shit in the middle isn’t chocolate right?

    The US sees an item not referred to by a corporate brand name, and wouldn’t have it.

    They’re not alone in it, but their suseptiblity to macro-marketing can only be described as “American level”.

      The brand name is far from the point here but why bother when “grumble grumble America bad” is an option.

    They’re called “chocolate sandwich biscuits” in the UK? Huh, I always call them “overrated”.

    I kinda agree but probably for opposite reasons. There’s no sliced bread OR butter so it can’t be a sandwich. And I’m fairly sure there’s no actual chocolate in there. Oreos are definitely biscuits tho.
