Oh what, you mean there are people who exist who don't like corporations ramming partisan socio-political agendas down our throats?

Imagine a corporation going full MAGA and the left doing business with them like nothing happened.

Doesn’t matter if Oreos are multi or single colored. They need a gimmick to sell.

The only cookie that is any good at all is Chips Ahoy. Oreos are just not that tasty.

they say that ‘silence is violence’

They’re wrong.
Silence is Silence, compelled Speech is violence.

They need to get that straight.

Quite frankly I like the taste of the store-brand knock offs at a dollar store better. Not that they are great, or anything.

ya know what? For a great product people will put up with more than corporations give them credit for.

If they just do what they do without asking for limelight.

When Chick Fill A hadn’t lost its mind yet, there were BLOCKS of people in Manhattan waiting to get in there and chow down some chcken.

They weren’t flamboyant about their beliefs but they didn’t hide them.

It caused them some grief and even some trouble opening stores, but they were making a fortune!

And those folks on the lines in Manhattan were not from far away suburban areas. They’re pretty easy to spot.

Then they sold out.. And nothing got better. They didn’t get richer.

Going FULL MAGA will destroy ya, I agree.

But doing what you do and not screaming it out loud doesn’t doom a company.

Less fear is what’s needed for these pro Christian/pro Trump companies

Still can’t believe a movement successfully hijacked the colors of the rainbow but can easily see kids wanting cookies that look like rainbows.

I used to really like Oreos but a few years back I feel like they changed the ingredients because they just didn’t taste the same so I stopped eating them.
I also never liked the filling so I always scraped it off and just ate the cookie part so a colored Oreo wouldn’t even work for me.

Rainbow Oreos have been around nearly a decade. Man people don’t pay attention.

So.... I should buy a certain brand of cookie (which I shouldn’t eat anyway) because that brand of cookie, is proud of people who bugger each other right up the wazzoo?

Sick.

Oreos are a stolen Hydrox knock off anyway.

Try the Mega-Stuff; you might change your mind. Of course, I don't expect anybody to consume a queer cookie, but they are fairly good.

You were doing OK until you said Chips Ahoy are anything other than compost... No wait, I wouldn’t feed Chips Ahoy to that either. They’ve got so many preservatives they probably don’t even rot properly.

Why would they want consumers to associate their cookies with sodomy? I used to love Oreos before they destroyed the thought of them.

Maybe it was the TV ad that did it for them. Dad painting the picket fence to show his solidarity. Kind of like when Obama did the WH is rainbow colors.

A couple of miles from me on a country road is a house that for several years been festooned with rainbow flags, signs, yard ‘art’, the works. I bear them no ill will, but I do wonder about their obsession with their sex life and their need to inform everyone who passes by.

I have my hobbies and pastimes too, but I’m plastering my house with them.

Yeah I don’t support transgender cookies. I don’t have to. And companies need to learn it’s not a winning corporate strategy.

Mondelez - Formally Nabisco, moved 90% of their production from Chicago and Philly to Mexico - since then, the quality has gone straight downhill. None of their products taste the same.

I still want to meet the consultant who convinced the idiots at Kraft to throw out the oldest Food Name Brand in the US [Nabisco] for Mondelez, a made up word no one ever heard of.

They’ve been advertised for as long as they’ve been around. People just don’t pay attention, then they freak out like it’s new. Your neighbors don’t wanna be in the closet. It’s a little different than your hobbies, unless Westboro Baptist has your hobbies on their “should be killed” list.

Oreo Thins In lemon, mint, or pistachio are pretty good.
