An Open Letter to Oreo Cookies...

*{ An Open Letter to Oreo Cookies }~

Dear Oreo Cookies,
c/o Nabisco Co.

Im writting this letter, mostly because I care a lot about you, and yes, I would even say I Love you, and I wanted to make sure you to heard it from me first, rather than one of those cold-hearted, backstabbing, Bitch-ass PR Firms, that you always hang out with. Why do you think I've let you be with me, my one and only, all these years, even when all the other's TV Ads laughed, and said I had outgrown you, I still consumed only you, full, or bitesize.*

But, I have thought our relationship over very carefully, and i think its time, we start seeing other cookies. Now, I know, this is gonna be just as hard for you, as it will be for me, and yes, I know this will hurt your bottom line, but I think this will end up being best, for both of us.*

First, I would like to Thank you, for all those wonderful years of special times, we shared together. (sniff) Those warm intiment moments, You, Me, that tall, cold Glass of Milk (my throat is getting dry, just thinking about you two together), and sometimes, we even shared our love for each other, with special friends (you freaky little chocolate devil, you), but it was always, you and me Kid, us, together against the consumerist, multi-media, TV commercial world. But it's over, you see, I've gone cold turkey, I've given up High Fructose Corn Syrup, yes, yes, I know, you're full of it, and that being the case, any kind of gastronomical affair with you, is totally out of the question. As much, as I would like too, I can't buy into your crazy, out of control, Drug use any longer, my body just can't take the abuse anymore. They say, things and people, can always change, but I don't think you can, or will, theres no profit in it, and you say, it would cost you to much, well personally, I don't think I will either, so I think this is it. I know, deep down inside, I will never, ever find another cookie to replace you, face it, another sugar-based you, just doesn't exist, and anything else, would just be, generic. In fact, I won't even try, and anyway, l'm into those cute little Banana Muffin twins packs now, besides, when i turn those babies over, and check their labels, they come organic.

And don't even try, and entice me back, with those naughty, suggestive, special, low-price, coupon sales tactics, it won't work anymore, it's over, and if by chance, we happen to see each other, in some dark, and seedy Snack Food isle somewhere, or Von's, or even high priced, ass Ralph's, let's just pretend we never met, just pass each other, no words, no remorse.

Remember, we will always be, BFF's forever. Good-bye and Good luck...


you're bestest pal,

The only Oreos I'm ever tempted by anymore are the ones that come out near Christmas, that are covered in some sort of white chocolate or fudge or something deliciously awful for me. Unfortunately this year they ran out of them at the store and I was saved from myself.
 
The only sweet treat I would consider writing a love letter for are the dark ferrero rochers - my god.

Every March-April I put on 20lbs purely from Cadbury Creme Eggs.
 
Dear Oreo Cookies:

The "Double Stuff" Oreo is not enough. I demand a "Quadruple Stuff" Oreo.

How about an Oreo stuffed with a Baconator stuffed with a KFC Double Stack?

I had a Baconator for lunch yesterday - I go to Wendy's about once a week, and that's what I always get. I don't know if this is a Canada-only thing, but recently they started putting butter on the buns. It's disgusting - I always have to remember to ask them to make mine without it. It's not just on the inside of the bun, either - I don't know what they're doing, but they seem to be slathering the butter on with a trowel. Picking one of those things up is an exercise in delicacy, to avoid accidentally flinging your lunch at the people sitting at the next table.
 
Oreo cookies were not commercialized in Italy until very recently, but the closest equivalent (and my favourite cookies as a kid) were Ringo cookies: similar to Oreo in design but with one side of the "sandwich" made from normal (non chocolate) cookies.
 
I was gonna post another thread about this... but anyone notice that buying regular Chips Ahoy (blue bag) is a risky proposition? About half the time they come out doughey and uncooked.

Yeah. That all sounds about right. ;)

(The clip calls it a "French Restaurant" but it's actually just a restaurant in French Canada.
 
Oh you will be back. These planned new years resolutions usually never work. You should have quit on your own terms. The middle of summer last year would have been a good jumping off point.

Im sure Oreos will see you sometime in February.:lol:
 
Highly unlikely, I've been preparing the move for some time so it was really a few things I had to let go of. I turned, I guess the term would be just a more "Conscious Eater" more so, than a Vegetarian, I still eat a little Dairy, Fish and Seafood, but no meat Beef, Chicken, Pork, Lamb, and no Wild Game. Its not just the unecessaryness of killiing a living thing, we can eat very well without it, it's mostly because, they have just lost their minds, when it comes to the production and growing of the animals, the amount of chemicals, pesticides, and putting crap we don't even know about, in our food chain, is just ridiculus, and besides, this year I will be growing my own food supply, up here in Tehachapi, where I have a small farm.

The one thing for sure I gave up, is the HFC, I will not be buying anything that contains it, it's really, really, bad stuff, almost as bad as aspartame, and other versions of artificial sweetness, that crap is able to go right through your blood brain barrier, and do all kinds of havoc. Besides, it's not too bad, there is usually another brand selections available, that uses plain old sugar so it's not too bad, like Sprite over 7up.

possibly,

It's not Canada-only. Well maybe that was the testing ground, but it's in the US now too. All of their "premium" sandwiches - and by that, everything except the value menu - now have that butter-like spread slathered onto the bread and then toasted. I'm thinking it was around October that it started. I tried one, since I had a coupon for a free one with their "new" fries (which are, if possible, worse than their old) and a drink. I wasn't impressed.

And you're right, it's a gooey juicy mess. If one is going to eat it, it should come in a bowl with a spoon. It's that messy.
 
Over the last several years I seem to have lost my taste for cookies and candy. I can't even remember the last time I had a cookie. It must have been months and months ago.

It's not the burgers at Wendy's that have me by the 'short and curlies". It is the spicy chicken burger. I love it and wish sometimes they would have a spicier one too.
 
I can't say I am that fond of Oreos but that is peobably because I have grown up with Tim Tams (which are the nearest thing to perfection on Earth).
