Cookie Monster is onto something: OREO Double Stuf Chocolate Sandwich Cookies shrank by 6% in size by weight from January 2019 to October 2023, according to a report based on Labor Department numbers.

Double Stuffed Oreos are the new regular Oreos and regular Oreos are now 'go fuck yourself' sized.

I like that honest branding. "Go fuck yourself Oreos", "Eat a dick Craft Mac and Cheese", "Piss-off sized Tide Detergent"...

Regular oreos are the new single-ply toilet paper equivalent
