Dionne Warwick Shades Oreo in Withering Tweet: ‘I Will Be Retaliating’
New York Post ^ | December 30, 2021 | Hannah Frishberg

Dionne Warwick, 81, has taken to Twitter to voice her white-hot opinions yet again. This time, it’s to communicate to the makers of Oreo that the extensive array of recent flavor variations is wholly unnecessary and gauche — the original one was more than sufficient.

SNIP

“Hello, What is your weirdest flavor? Why are y’all doing the most? The one flavor was fine,” Warwick questioned of the vegan cookie brand.

Oreo reciprocated by sending Warwick a care package of its less well-known merchandise, a move she felt was a bit aggressive. “After asking @Oreo to stick to the original flavor, they sent me these outrageous items as a response,” she informed her 588,000 followers Wednesday, alongside a photo of Oreo-flavored lip balm and a package of java chip flavor creme Oreo cookies.

I don’t think any of the Oreos are good for you.

How rude! I think the name Oreo is offensive anyway and should be canceled and/or shadow banned.

“Warwick questioned of the vegan cookie brand”

I remember when Oreo filling was made with lard and sugar. I supposed it’s hydrogenated vegetable oil now and corn syrup now.

I found the lemon ones recently. I don’t consider it a real Oreo but it’s a darn good cookie.

“I don’t think any of the Oreos are good for you.”

The hummus flavored vegan Oreos might be good for you but I don’t doubt they taste like ****.

I agree. I picked them up at a Grocery Outlet and was utterly shocked at how tasty they are!

“Hello, What is your weirdest flavor? Why are y’all doing the most? The one flavor was fine,” Warwick questioned of the vegan cookie brand.

It read like she was interested in other flavors and Nabisco hooked her up with examples. I guess no one at Nabisco speaks Jive!

I like the golden Oreos, though I don’t like that they seem to have replaced the venerable Cameo cookies.

I do know folks who would like Oreo to get beyond “Double Stuff” “Mega Stuff” and “Most Stuff” and just sell “Stuff”.

They lost me with “Pumpkin Spice”, “Gingerbread”, “Lemon” and Cheesecake anything.

Is she taking a break from shouting at a cloud?

"...I supposed it’s hydrogenated vegetable oil now..."

Used to be. Here's the evolutionary timeline:

"Oreo cookies were made with lard until the mid-1990s, when
Nabisco swapped the animal fat with partially hydrogenated vegetable
oil due to growing health concerns. (Later, in 2006, the company
switched to non-hydrogenated vegetable oil.)Mar 7, 2017"

So now we know.

I had no idea she was still alive. Good for her making it to 81.

Not too long ago I was listening to the 1979 Dionne Warwick hit song entitled "I'll Never Love This Way Again", co-written by Waylon Jennings and then available on Arista 0419 as a "45" record.

Speaking of expanding categories of consumer product, I would like Dionne's opinion of the recent "holiday flavors" of Truly's hard seltzer. I found them all exceedingly sweet.
