Talk:Oreo
"The filling is not a cream"[edit]
I don't know what kind of concern or edit warring led to the snarky warning against calling Oreos cream filled but they absolutely are. The Wikipedia article goes on at length about cream and crème; Cadbury's packaging calls it cream and crème; Hydrox and Oreos have both billed themselves as creme biscuits, sandwiches, and cookies; and they've been doing it in 100+ countries for 100+ years. Whether it's confusing in some dialects or not, Americans understand that stuff as cream/creme filling and it's a perfectly valid expression.
Of course it doesn't include cream but it's still true that it is cream to Americans who grew up with the stuff. Cream filling is definitionally both the stuff inside a Twinkie and the stuff inside an Oreo. (Even here at Wiktionary: our cream entry includes the sense... and already used Oreos in the illustrative cite.) — LlywelynII 21:28, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
