Vienna Fingers vs Cameos

Nabisco and Keebler go at it with their own versions of oval, vanilla creme filled cookies.
I don’t remember having either of these before but it was suggested by a reader and fellow Hollistonian (hometown) to evaluate these since he and his brother have feuded between these two products. Ethan and I tasted and then I brought them into work for further evaluation.
Vienna Fingers:
I felt the cookie part of these were a little dry and tasted like animal crackers. The creme was okay, nothing great but not a disappointment. Ethan thought these were bland and had a weird aftertaste from the creme.
The two people at worksaid they liked these better than Cameo.
Cameo:
I liked these better. I thought the cookie was more flavorful and the creme was more vanilla-y. Plus the design on the cookie is all fancy and has a pretty, William Morris-like design.
Ethan didn’t think these were better but liked the overal texture of cookie and creme. Someone at work said these are “Yummy like Grandma’s house.”
Wrap up:
Depends who you ask. People at work seemed to like Vienna Fingers more and I really liked Cameos better. Ethan said if they could marry the flavor of Vienna Fingers and the texture of Cameo’s you’d have a perfect product.

The cameo look really nice, it would be good if you could buy them with other flavoured cream and see how they work.

Thanks - I’m glad to see my creme filled vanilla oval sandwich cookie request was fulfilled. I was always partial to Cameos. Maybe I was subconsciously influenced by the more attractive design. I never understood the name of the other ones either. Do they really eat those in Austria? And if naming them after a European city is supposed to imply that they’re classy, why not try to dress them up a bit with a pretty William Morris-like design?
Ethan’s perfect product has good texture and is bland with a weird aftertaste?

Vienna Finger is to Cameo as Hydrox is to Oreo

Are you kidding??? Is there really even a question/comparison?! Cameos are BY FAR the best..no doubt about it!!!! VF’s are nothing like Cameo’s other than their shape. I cannot find Cameos anymore where I live and they are my favorite cookie…this is truly a tragedy! My friend that travels brings them to me from another state! Eat and enjoy!
