    I always laugh seeing how much they shrink the packaging every year. Some of these packs have like 10 Oreos in them.

      I know, and I hate it to the core, but I have considered that they might actually be inadvertently helping humanity (at least in the US).

    Is this a good place to dump some Selena Gomez shit talk?

    Regarding Oreos, yes they’re insane constantly coming out with new flavors & sponsorships & brand deals even though it’s all just fucking oreos, minus some noticable ounces & grams because of shrinkflation.

    Regarding Selena & Oreos, Oreos are not healthy, and they’re fattening though understandably delicious & addictive for those who are prone to such victual indulgences. And Selena has unapologetically mentioned that she does enjoy such foods. So let’s take note of her weight fluctuation after her music career was interrupted by lupus and surgery etc. no shade, it’s just part of being human. Oreos delicious. Selena Gomez approved her name & likeness plastered onto every Oreo package 🙄

    But I suspect she has recently discovered Ozempic because…

    She has thinned-up quite beautifully again after chubbing up a bit the last few years.

    And falling in love with that blobby greasy slimy oily hairy monkey (who feeds her Taco Bell romantic picnics 🤢) who she apparently married just two days ago weekend of September 27th.

    I am so nauseated by who she chose to marry.

    But millionaires are free to do whatever they want so who am I to judge when I’m working me arse off and living paycheck-to-paycheck.

    Her personality & public relations skills are top notch & she’s so pleasant to look at & listen to except

    recently the past few months or year her speech has become slow & slurred which is strange.

    Slow slurred speech seems like medication side effects. But she’s made no public acknowledgment about that because it’s none of our business, she doesn’t owe us in-depth details of every little thing but celebrities with excellent PR skills are such mysteries to us. She told us about her lupus and she told us about her kidney transplant but other obvious things she says nothing about and is so mysterious.

    I’ve never seen her TV show /Steve Martin / Martin Short /something something Murder Building, so I wonder if her speech is slow & slurred when she’s acting in that role too? I’m guessing probably not because that would not be a good look. So whatever medication she’s on that’s causing her red carpet interviews & her talk show interviews to give her such a slurred speech is a bit strange.

    Perhaps she’s slowing down especially now that she married a big fat greasy slimy man, let’s hope his mindset & lifestyle & phenotype aren’t contagious.

    So her life goes on and I should focus on my own life. I’m doing fine I just wish I earned more money but if I did I would probably do crazy things like buy a huge mansion then complain that I’m lonely because money can’t fix my personality or bipolar disorder or buy friends.

      Sounds like you have a bit of celeb obsession going on. If someone posts a meme about Oreos and your first reaction is to type up paragraphs about a celeb, including multiple details around their personal lives…yeah, idk, maybe do some self reflection. Everyone has hobbies, I get it, but at the same time you really shouldn’t give a shit. At all. Far more interesting things in the world that would be well worth your time over a celeb.

        Jump to conclusions & make assumptions much? I’m an acrobat in Santa Monica california. I have an amazing life. I just watch YouTube a lot in my recovery time and Selena Gomez is adorable :-)

    At my office, we’ve been trying every varietal that Oreo has released and we’ve been tracking our thoughts on them in a spreadsheet. Tbh, there’s been some pretty vile ones, like the Coca-Cola Oreos and the Sour Patch Kids Oreos, but every now and again they do actually drop a banger like the Blueberry Pie Oreos.

      I find that the freaky Oreo varieties taste great with the first one, but the more you eat the weirder they seem, until by the end of the bag they’re certified nightmare fuel. The Apple Pie a la Mode variety is exactly like this. TBF sometimes I eat the entire bag in 10 minutes, so that might be part of the problem.

        Apple Pie especially was bad for this, the first one was like “wow they nailed that!” and then 2-24 were like “what the fuck is this now”

        As boring as it may seem, this is what our data shows as well. The average varietal is worse than a standard oreo, often because you start to get sick of the flavor. Meanwhile, the current highest rated Oreo is the Oreo Loaded, which I can best describe as an Oreo flavored Oreo. turns out classic Oreo is just hard to beat.

        Its the same with the special edition Pop-Tarts. The first Eggo or Apple Jacks bite is amazing! Then you get halfway through the box, and you start tasting an artificial chemical after-taste. By the end, you’re trying to offload the last toxic tart on to an unsuspecting coworker…

    They taste like Selena Gomez. What do you mean what are they? You act like this is complicated. I mean it says right there in the outside of the cookie tray wrapper. They’ve been putting the flavors in the outside for 30+ years. They wouldn’t just change it up on a random whim.

    Even though I try to avoid processed snacks, the weird novelty flavors are what tempt me. I support innovation in food :D

      I also avoid all these junk foods as much as I can, but I also realize i can inject a whole lot of joy and excitement in my life by buying these weird novelty flavors I likely wont enjoy, but thats not what matters. Its the hype.

        Oh, they almost never taste as good as they look on the packaging, haha. Nothing wrong with simple comforts once in a while. Sometimes I use those odd flavors as inspiration in my own cooking and baking or try to recreate the recipe.
