An Open Letter to Oreo Cookies...

They were Tim Tam virgins, a Tim Tam Slam was probably more than they could handle at that point in time.
If I ever write a love letter to cookies, it will be to Pepperidge Farm Milanos. Preferably the mint ones. 
If it ain't black it ain't liquorice, as far as I'm concerned.
I agree about the fries. The new ones are terrible. The old ones weren't the best fries I'd ever had either, but they were orders of magnitude better than the new ones (and better than anything from McDonald's or Burger King, for sure).
I much prefer the fries from Harvey's or Lick's (both Canadian fast-food chains). In fact, the burgers at both are orders of magnitude better than any other fast food burgers, with Lick's being the superior of the two.
They are good. I don't get to have them very often, but I have a friend who gets them occasionally. Also, I was in Denver for the Worldcon a little over three years ago, and Melbourne was bidding for the 2010 convention. I was chatting with a woman at their table while I was working the Montreal table, selling memberships for the 2009 convention, and happened to mention that I hadn't yet eaten anything that day. She reached down and handed me a package of Tim Tams. I could have kissed her.
I have a thing going with the chocolate peanut butter patties Girl Scout cookies. But I hesitate to call that a love affair. I think that's more of a "annual-convention-in -Vegas-Please-God-don't-let-there-be-photos-I'd-die-shame kind of thing.
And to clarify, it's not just on the Baconators. I just saw the same thing being done when I went to Wendy's tonight. They had a sign saying "We now butter all our buns." Why? I have no idea. There doesn't seem to be any inherent benefit to doing it other than racking up the calories. Shame as I always usually found Wendy's to be a cut above the rest, and it's disappointing to see them do this when the trend is to try to be healthier. I love their Asiago Chicken Club Ranch. Probably my favourite thing on the menu.
Oooh these sound so good. Thanks for bringing them to my attention! I just looked it up and it seems they are available in the US only from October to March, at Target and many other stores. I must go find them right away!! And I even read that there is a caramel flavor! This has made my day.
The new campaign for the Wendy's burgers tricked me into trying them.
All I wanted was to see and taste a nice GREEN piece of iceberg lettuce....but no....still nasty white husk of iceberg lettuce.
Count me in as a big fan of Tim Tam cookies.
First tried them when I was in Australia 2 years ago.
Pepperidge Farm brought them to the states shortly after I came back.
Now if only they would bring back Violet Crumble....

Well Hell's Bells, if you think HFCS was bad, this is really gonna Bake Your Noodle...
I have been following the latest ShitStorm, that's about to hit the Main Stream Media, a Fungicide called "Carbendazim" (google it), it has been all over the Alt media, when the FDA annonced that they had found traces of this Fungicide in all prepackaged Orange Juice, but it was within "allowable amounts". Well come to find out, even in minscule amounts, this shit will have you growing a fourth Eye, and maybe an extra Arm, and this is in quantities well below what the FDA deems safe and acceptable. There was a lawsuit against one of the OJ makers in I think Sweden or the UK for dumping this shit upstream, causing a die off of over 70-80% of all the species downstream of the plant, and something like 80% of of everything that lived was born with either two heads or some other severe abnormalities, the problem came when they tried to back pedal and soften the issue by saying "How bad can it be it's in all the Orange Juice,like forever!", well they were told about it but apparently were suppose to keep it to themselves. Oops, now all the OJ manfactures are throwing the FDA under the bus saying, "Yeah we told them a long time ago and they (FDA) said it was cool!" the Alt media is full of really savvy people who looked that crap up and start sounding the alarm. Well that was a week ago, and since then, all I have been seeing are these small Spin Doctor stories being released, anticipating the back lash when it does hit the mainstream News. Wait, heres the Kicker, they may have misrepresented the amount they found, by Half, I'm guessing, to not make it sound so scary. Those Guys at the FDA, bless their little black, sold-out souls, their always looking out for us.*
So I guess I'm gonna have too do my own Fresh squeezed OJ, from real whole oranges, if I have a hankering for it...

Actually it was Sidney, Au...
Studies have found that Carbendazim cause infertility, and destroy the testicles of laboratory animals. (which according to Common Lore, will not affect Trekkies)
here is a general info link:

Here is an article from a Sidney Paper:

Apprently, one of the smaller juice company's found it when they tested their juice, so they tested all their competitors, and sure enough, theirs was laced with it too. So they threatened the FDA that they were going public with the info, which forced the FDA to do a quick, quiet release on the matter, and they thought they had squelched the matter. Until the ever alert Alt media got wind of it, and a groundswell started to build. So Gird Your Loins People, the info tsunami is about to wash up on our shores...

A day without testicles is like a day without sunshine.
