Ran into a hilarious piece on the introduction of the Oreo cookie to the UK. Who knew the Oreo cookie could be so disturbing? Frankly, I think that the US of A threw off its British shackles because of our amazing ability to eat ANYTHING. Sugared lard on faux chocolate – bring it on!
While I was looking for Oreo cookie images I found the above, linked to a blog post with some interesting looks at Oreos and Oreo wannabes around the world. God I love the randomness of the internet.
Happy Saturday!

I’ve always preferred Hydrox, but I haven’t seen them around in over a decade.
“Milk?! A biscuit dipped in milk? Who does that?” Ohmygod. I love that! Culture clash, indeed!
Kathy – Hydrox used to have “variety packs” and lemon cream cookies. They were good stuff. I used to be able to get them in Champaign-Urbana back in the day but you’re right, I haven’t seen them lately either.
KC – Yeah I liked that too. I guess they also have no Nilla Wafers??
