Sad Day for Oreo Lovers


This may not come as any great news of importance to those of you who do not enjoy Oreo cookies as I do, but some of you will WANT TO KNOW!!!
I came to a very alarming conclusion yesterday.  Whereas last year at this time, each standard package of Oreos carried 51 individual tasty little morsels.....the number has now been whittled down to a mere 45.  I've seen this sort of carnage in other food packaging, but this is highway robbery!!!  This means I'm 6 cookies shy of a full load!!  Means that the usual 3-5 broken ones on the ends aren't free snacks any more!!!!   And each one costs 5.6 cents now, instead of 4.9 cents.  Sad day.  What is this country coming to!???
:)  LOL
(Actually, after making 400 choc-covered Oreos in the last 2 weeks, I think I can do with a few less in my regular diet!  It is possible to get temporarily tired of them.)

  5. FYI - Reduced fat Oreos do not taste good. I bought them once BY ACCIDENT. I've never felt that the Oreo department was a good place to start cutting fat. :-)
