What's /ck/'s opinion on Oreo? What's the best way to eat them?

I just found out Oreo packaging always refer to the filling as "creme" because "cream" is a word regulated by law in the United States, and you can't refer to mixture that contains less than certain percentage of milk fat as "cream" (Oreo contains no milk fat — in fact, it contains no animal products and is vegan).

What are some other ways food manufacturers get around using regulated words? I know anything that says "choco" or "chocolatey" instead of "chocolate" do so because they swapped out expensive cocoa butter with cheap palm oil, and you can't call something chocolate without minimum certain percentage cocoa butter content.
