Say it Ain't So
I am in shock.
You cannot believe the news that I've learned!! (or maybe you already know, and I'm the last to know???)
Brace yourselves. I will try to break this to you slowly.....
In this day of trans fat paranoia, I half expected this, (even applauded it) in fast food restaurants...but I did not expect that my favorite cookie EVER, a cookie that I have been eating my entire life, would have to undergo the terrible terrible fate of having it's recipe ... REFORMULATED, so that trans fat could be eliminated from it. Please... hang on to your chair people....
These are no longer the same. A moment of silence please.
My husband came home from the store with a new package. I had no warning. I was very happily pouring my milk.... all was well. I bit into a cookie and knew at once that something was terribly wrong. I assumed that they came out with a 'diet' variety, and that my husband didn't notice, and came home with the wrong package... not so. They now have that taste to them..... that 'something's off ' taste, that diet soda and fat-free sour cream have. Blech.
I am just stunned. It's like when someone gets botox injected, and they think they are going to look better, younger, whatever... but they only end up looking freaky like Michael Jackson. Sometimes, you just need to leave well enough alone.
Why did they do this?! Does Nabisco think that I am eating Oreos because I want to be healthy? I eat healthy 95% of the time.. so that I can eat my damn oreos when I feel like it. The 5 % of crap that I eat is supporting my mental health! Oreos were my PMS medication, damn it!
Where does Nabisco get off, anyway?! We need to get organized and protest, so that this never happens again. (look how scary it was when they tried to give us new COKE) I think that once a product has been around for a prolonged period of time, and it's loved by an entire nation, then it should become a national treasure.... no longer Nabisco's Oreos, but America's Oreos. Then, changing the recipe would be an illegal act, punishable by law.
Nabisco... you suck. I want my damn trans fat back in my damn cookies.

That's really, and truly wrong. I haven't had oreos in forever, but I know the minute I bit into one, it wouldn't be right. I'm sorry. :(
Brace yourself, sweetie. They've gone after Girl Scout cookies too. Sob....Mint Thins....sob....Samoas...the world is changing.
My sincerest sympathy at the demise of tasty cookies. Oreos, Girl Scout thin mints and Twinkies should be the exception to the trans-fat laws. We must be allowed some sort of joy in packaged foods, shouldn't we?
OH THAT sucks! I've just ended three months of working out and eating sensibly, healthy, and won a weight loss bet. The one thing I pictured was sitting on the driveway licking the cream out of a bag of double stuff oreos and then munching the cookies until my face was black. *sigh*
I really love the look of your blog, the pictures look so crisp!
