Nabisco just made it much harder to boycott all Oreos...

[Archae]

New one I saw in a store flyer.

Brownie Batter Oreos.

In reality I don't eat Oreos very often at all, the cookie parts are just a bit TOO crispy for my taste.

1. THIS changes EVERYTHING!

Thanks for the headzup!

[Auggie]

2. You understand that's all marketing hype, right?

But I agree. Sure sounds good.

[Trajan]

3. Crispy cookie parts?

This is why Jesus invented milk !

[Wilms]

16. "Jesus invented milk"??

That is just a conspiracy theory.

4. I never eat or not eat food because of politics

It seems to dictatorship to me. I eat foods because my taste of said foods wants to. If I love Oreos, I will always eat Oreos until I decide I don't like them anymore not because they changed locations. Now if they change ingredience and they taste different and I don't like the new taste then I won't eat them anymore. Same with chick fil a, I happen to love the food and during the boycott of one persons opinion that I did not agree with, I still wanted to eat there so I did. The food tasted the same. Politics and food should be banned like religion and politics should be. We never discuss any other daily item like shampoo or patio furniture so why food?

5. How is having a conscience about an issue like a "dictatorship"?

[yeoman6987]

8. If we used everything but food, I'd agree.

And whose to say that a conscience needs to be molded to ones desire by others? Nobody should be told what to eat or be food shamed. It is sad that it has come to this.

12. Who the hell food shamed you?

Reads like something from Fox and Friends.

[hollysmom]

10. well, we are all different, we can accept each other - I never eat anything Nestle.

not interested in companies that have no conscience at all, Of course buying gas for the car is a difficult moral choice, but when I can do something easily, why not?

6. Pie is good.

Oreos just don't taste as good as they used to. The cookie parts are as tasteless as cardboard and not nearly as chocolatey as they one were, and they are harder, not light and crispy. The filling stuff is also tasteless and very greasy, it's like eating barely sweetened shortening... and that's the American made product, so I expect it will get worse when made elsewhere.

Meanwhile, I have rediscovered pie as a worthy replacement when I need a sweet. Homemade, bakery fresh, frozen, deep fried... goodbye Oreos!

7. Why are people boycotting Oreos?

I'm out of the loop here.

[yeoman6987]

9. Because part of the company is going to Mexico

Gosh for a party that wants to help the worlds disadvantaged, it would be nice if we all really meant it. This might help families be able to stay together in Mexico instead of the family having to split up to go work at the Oreo factory in the U.S.

[brentspeak]

14. You're free to offer your job up to any Mexican who wants it.

That is, if you really are serious about "wanting to help the worlds disadvantaged".

[Kingofalldems]

15. That would be the republican position on this.

As a Bernie supporter: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251417437

Don't you think he would strongly disagree?

[hollysmom]

11. if you get rid of jobs here, we won't have the money to buy things,

by not doing it now, it teaches that the consumer and the manufacturer have the same goals
and what makes you think that making oreos will be the wonderful thing in Mexico - the salaries will drop and profit raise (maybe, still don't buy that it works). So we should celebrate companies making higher profits by lowering salaries?

13. The trick to counter too crispy is to leave the package open on the counter for a few days

Softens them right up. Of course leaving them alone for a few days is problematic.

[Archae]

17. Especially since I have two cats with normal appetites.

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. the crispy cookie was the only part I ate

[2naSalit]

19. Only cookies worth eating

are the ones made at home.

20. Eat Hydrox Instead

Oreos are knock-off Hydrox, which are being reintroduced by Leaf (and made in USA, I think). Their Facebook page says they are to start shipping Sept. 15.

21. Really??!!!?? Oh, happy days!!!

I wonder if they'll be as good as Sunshine Hydrox, which were so good ... Oreos are crap!

[a kennedy]

22. Oh no....I love Oreo mint, although don't know if they're still available.....I gained

poundage on those babies. yummmmmmmmmm loved those.

[REP]

23. No disrespect meant to Oreo-lovers!

I think Hydrox were better cookies, but Oreo-eaters, eat what you love!

[a kennedy]

24. My husband always enjoyed Hydrox....so we've had our differences.

but he came around to Oreo's with this mint filling.....so I could be willing to try his Hydrox when they come out.
