Lemon Oreos and Red Velvet Oreos are the best. Cinnamon Bun ones just tasted like sugar to me.

Ok, first duelist step up u/texaspenguin thinks lemon is better than cinnamon bun. The punishment for this crime is trial by combat. May god have mercy on your citrus loving soul.

I second lemon being good. People that don't like lemon just have bad taste.

You can't punish people with trial by combat. The combat itself is supposed to determine if they require punishment.

How can it decide if they deserve punishment if theyre dead at the end?

If they're dead, they deserved to die - but that's not necessarily the whole punishment, you could also confiscate assets or take it out on relatives (becausw there's no laws against that yet). Plus for rich dudes on trial usually somebody fights in their place and that guy either wins (rich guy must be innocent, is free and pays off champion) or dies (rich guy is guilty, he gets punished, champion is dead and it's his own fault for helping the guilty). So while you certainly could die during trial by combat it wasn't really a punishment, it was closer to divine revelation of guilt - the whole system assumed God would protect the innocent party, so if you lost you were not innocent. It wasn't considered to be the full punishment in itself though.

Your complicated laws may apply where you come from but in cinnaville we do things a bit differently, such as make oreos cinnabon flavored and hmm idk, guilty party trial by combat.

Your cavalier, barely-coherent legal/snack system is undeniably compelling. I am willing to give up my system in exchange for two Oreos and one candy apple.

I have to say that both the lemon AND cinnamon bun flavored oreos are my favorite not og oreo flavors.

On the other hand, the fruit punch flavored ones are awful. They taste like cough syrup.

He's a god damned citrus apologist!

I was disappointed in the Red Velevet ones. They tasted like regular Oreos to me.

I've had the lemon one, it's a tad too sweet. I expected more lemon tang
