Thank you for giving the correct answer. I can't believe that OP instructed me to say no to a cookie, outrageous!

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 11 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Controversially, yes to pretzels and maybe to crisps. I like a bit of salted savoury.

Of course is also say yes to M&Ms.

No to Oreos. Oreos are essentially shit Bourbons from America, and they need to stop infesting our divine British food with them.

Fight me! Your street address format confuses TF out of me, so I can't meet you at a location. Just name a city and I will defend Oreos there with flailing and wild swings. Leeds? How about Liverpool, that sounds like fun.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I mean when you're here you can just pick up some bourbons and then there's no need to fight.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Diplomatic solution, eh? I already had handbills printed, it's a shame... "International Bourbons Brouhaha Liverpool, One Night Only"

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago

Yeah, no need for a scrap - just a cup of your preferred warm drink, and a giant tin of assorted biscuits to share :)

I admire your passion for biscuits.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And Bourbons are just shit knock off Hydrox. The Brits need to stop importing food and trying to claim they invented it.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

I thought the Bourbon was more of a Custard Cream ripoff?

Anyway, I'd never even heard of a Hydrox. I'd love to try one. I'll try any biscuit once.

My objection to Oreos is that Cadbury (who used to make a lot of UK chocolate) got bought out by the same company that makes Oreos, and then started putting pieces of Oreo in every product they make, then the shelves filled up with the Oreo ones and you couldn't get the normal ones.

The cereal, chips, and oreo cookie toppings will go stale extremely fast. A local donut shop tried cereal topped donuts ... the toppings go stale after an hour or two.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I don't know where you're getting this info from, but one of the most popular donut companies in the United States voodoo donuts very famously uses lots of cereal toppings.

Are there any regular chocolate chip ones?

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 days ago
[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Yes to all but Lucky Charms. But, if Lucky Charms were the only ones left, then also yes.

[–] germtm_@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

yes to halva and m&m, maybe to pistachios and peanut butter cups, no to potato chips and pretzels.

not a fan of mixing salty with sweet on 90% of cases.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Agreed. I'm so pissed that they ruined caramel by shoving salt into it all the fucking time.

[–] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Sprinkles taste like nothing and are sometimes ridiculously crunchy and hurt my teeth. Everything else looks delicious. I'm hungry.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah sprinkles suck ass and are definitely the trashiest possible topping

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes Lucky Charms
No pretzels
Maybe potato chips

Honestly I'm down with everything except the abomination that is pretzel cookies

I'd eat them! I like chocolate covered pretzels so I figure these could be good

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

fuck: Pistachio Cream
marry: Mini Peanut Butter Cups
kill: Pretzels

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yes- peanut butter cups. God that's sounds amazing.
No - lucky charms. Cereal on a cookie??? No no no
Maybe - I'm intrigued by the potato chips cookie

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 4 points 6 days ago

Oh man Lucky Charms is my yes! Potato chips is my maybe.

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I'm not even mad at the cereal on the cookie, but Lucky charms is one of the shittiest cereals around.

[–] neo2478@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

You are absolutely a person of culture! This is the one and only answer!

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

M&M - yes since there is no oatmeal raisin option. All the rest - hard no.

[–] SEND_BUTTPLUG_PICS@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

These are all yes for me.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago

Pistachio cream, yes. All others, no.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

No on the potato chips, maybe on the Lucky Charms. All others are a yes. The halva sounds like an exceptionally good idea.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Fuck: M&Ms

Marry: Pretzel

Kill: Halva

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 5 days ago

I'd swap the chocolate chips in the pretzel cookie out for caramel. That would be a way better combo of flavors, IMO.

[–] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

They all look good, but sprinkles don't add anything to a cookie for me so

No - sprinkles Maybe - Pistachio cream, Halva Yes - Any cookie

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 6 days ago

Potato chips: No. Love em, but don't like them on sandwiches or combined with other foods.

Halva: Maybe. Never tried it, but it looks good!

The rest are all Yes!

[–] hazl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

I'm lucky enough to receive pressure from every direction to avoid any food that brings me a noticeable amount of pleasure, so they're all a no!

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

M&ms are fine, I'd eat that. I'd try the potato chip.

The pistachio ones kill my twin so maybe I don't try those or have them near the house.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

No: pistachio. I hate the taste of pistachio. Yes: peanut butrer cups. Maybe: all the rest

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago
[–] Emsquared@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yes=pretzels, No=Oreos (get the hell away from me), Potato chips= maybe

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 5 days ago

I've tried Chips Ahoy with potato chips in them when they had that as a limited time thing. It was okay. It meshed well, but it wasn't so good I would get it all the time.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Actually yeah this is my pick as well. There are maybe some I'd want even less than the Oreos but I'm also sick of any "Oreo-flavoured" stuff so I get it.

[–] Emsquared@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

Ah good. I just don't get the Oreo obsession. A ginger or custard cream (hell even a bourbon biscuit) yes but I'm just not an Oreo fan. Opinions and tastes obviously vary.
