ABC News: ‘Color of Wet Mud!’ Oreos Invade England
So, England didn’t have Oreos until now and they have no idea what to do with them.
Also: Brits call cookies “biscuits”. Suddenly a bunch of jokes in Discworld make sense.
The article made me hungry.

They’re suggesting doing what with the Oreos?! Who eats them that way?!
(I, of course, know that most people don’t follow my example in pulling off one wafer each of two Double Stufs and connecting them in a Quadruple Stuf, but still.)

Actually, I’m pretty sure that’s the only way you were allowed to eat double-stuff cookies when I was in college.

What, the quadruple thing or the twist-link-funky-whatever-that-ad-campaign-was thing?

The quadruple thing. But we used to do the twist-lick-dunk thing when we were kids ’cause the ads told us to. That might be before your time
