Flavor Name:Original Creme Filled Chocolate|Size Name:16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)
In this multi-level analysis of Newman-O's vs. Oreos, we consider three areas: Taste, Values, and Nutrition (as always, consult a physician or other professional about nutritional concerns).
1) Taste. A Draw--Newman-O's for adults/Oreos for kids:
Nutritional considerations aside, Kraft (which owns Nabisco) Oreos have the advantage of more sugar and a familiarity that does not bring contempt. Newman's have a more "mature" taste, heavier on the cocoa side with hints of dark chocolate, and not as sweet as Oreos. Newman-O's, however, are somewhat of an acquire d taste: At first I didn't like them, then began to appreciate the more subtle cocoa flavors. My hunch, though, is that kids will prefer Oreos.
2) Values. Newman 1, Kraft 0 (maybe even -1):
Threatened by a lawsuit and federal truth-in-labeling regulations, Kraft finally removed the trans fat (probably the worst kind of fat) from Oreos in 2006, even though a company spokesperson once said this would be "difficult," and that trans fat availability should be left to nutritionists, not to legislators or the courts. (Perhaps Oreos are "red state" cookies, and Newman's are for "blue staters?") Before legislation requiring labeling of any trans fat of half a gram or more, Kraft did not list it; Newman)'s never had it.
Newman's, as always, donates all after-tax profits to charity; Kraft donates an unknown amount, because they don't publicize it, and because you can bet the CEO's stock options that they're not donating all of it. While I don't want to get too political here, Newman's uses a number of organic ingredients, and organic food proponents cite the resulting health and environmental benefits.
3) Nutrition. Advantage, Newman-O's, but 2 cookies or 3?
It turns out that nutritional information for Oreos is based on a 34 gram, three cookie serving size; Newman-O's uses a 28 gram, 2 cookie serving size. As shown below, the 2 cookie serving size outclasses Oreos on having more of the good and less of the bad. One could argue, however, that this is an unfair comparison, because a serving size of Newman-0's is % smaller than that for Oreos. (Although one could also argue that Newman's supports "portion control." However, if your portion control isn't controlled and you have 3 Newman-O's, the nutritional edge decreases. Still, even 3 Newman's (compared to 3 Oreos) gives you 3.57% less total fat, and less sodium. However, you'll consume 11% more saturated fat, more carbohydrates (47.25 grams to 25 for 3 Oreos), more calories (195 to 160). Some people may also prefer Newman-O's wheat-free ingredients and use of sweeteners, rather than the often maligned high-fructose corn syrup found in Kraft Oreos.
The Verdict. A great Paul Newman movie! Oh, and if I have to choose, I'd say at least try the Newman-O's. You (the adult, but perhaps not your kids) may like the taste better than Oreos, and the 2 cookie serving size handily beats the 3 serving-size of Oreos on total and saturated fat, sugar, calories, and sodium (as well as containng more organic ingredients). At three cookies each, the difference begin to disappear, though with Newman-O's you satisfy not your appetite for cookies, but your hunger for helping people in need. I know, it sounds touchy-feely, but it's true.

Flavor Name:Chocolate Creme Filled Chocolate|Size Name:16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)
These cookies are superb all by themselves. Far superior to "that other sandwich cookie" in every way. But if you really want to tip the scale into complete decadence, melt some Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Chips in your double boiler, and dip these cookies, then remove to a rack to dry. Your friends will all think you got them at some fancy chocolate store, and beg you for more. Keep out of reach of children!

Flavor Name:Creme Filled Chocolate, Wheat & Dairy Free|Size Name:16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)
I love the Original Vanilla Creme Newman's O's, so when I saw the Wheat-Free/Dairy-Free on sale one day I picked one up. I figured it would basically be the same as the Original. The chocolate and vanilla tastes are great, but I found the cookies themselves to be rock hard. So unless you have an issue with wheat or dairy products, I would recommend the Original Vanilla Creme, and not the Wheat-Free/Dairy-Free variety.
