I can't get over this.

I asked H to stop at the drug store this afternoon to pick up a package of Oreos for a recipe i want to try. He bought store brand. If it wasn't Christmas I'd have sent his ass back to the store. This is completely unacceptable. I can't believe he brought this fucking schwag into my home!

I told him there is a handful of things for which a store brand substitute just will not do. I dont care how much more expensive they may be. Oreos are at the top of that list. I will shun anyone who says otherwise.

Merry Christmas!

Agreed! And Mac and cheese must be Kraft.

SHUN!!!

DTMFA!

Were they Hydrox? Do they still make those? My dad used to bring those and RC cola home all the time. Yuck.

I'm all about buying generic or store-brand, for CERTAIN things. But OREOS?! Hell to the no! Be cheap somewhere else... where it wont matter!

I'm just going to throw one thing in here: Candy Cane Joe-Joe's are THE BEST!

Smock is correct.

My mom used to buy Hydrox too. My poor tragic childhood! No, these were drug store brand. For shame, H. For shame!

Back in the day, Hydrox were the only Kosher/vegetarian choice out there, since Oreos contained lard (er... "partially hydrogenated vegetable and/or animal shortening"). Everyone I knew who had Hydrox at their house did so for dietary reasons.

But drugstore brand? You need to make your H down a cocktail made out of Suave strawberry shampoo and Popov-brand vodka for that crime.

OMG, I love me some Joe-Joe's.

*whispers* what is a Joe-Joe?

We had them because either my dad had a coupon or because they were on clearance. I could fill a book with my dad's coupon exploits.

They're from Trader Joe's. Kind of like oreos.

Joe Joes kick Oreo ass.

Yes. These fake oreos are acceptable. IN EVERY WAY.
