According to the maker, Mondelez International Inc., there are no plans to sell that new confection sensation Oreo Thins in the Great Icing-White Canadian North. Phooey. The new cookie is thin, of course, and most galling is said to be “sophisticated”. Yeah, sure. Mondelez International Inc. says it will add Oreo Thins to its permanent lineup in the U.S. starting next week. The cookies look like regular Oreos and have a similar cookie-to-filling ratio, except that they’re slimmer. That means four of the cookies contain 140 calories, compared with 160 calories for three regular Oreos. And since they’re for adults, Oreo says they weren’t designed to be twisted open or dunked. That’s even though about half of customers pull apart regular Oreos before eating them, according to the company. Just not in Canada.
