Pope Francis and Oreos

Pope Francis Reverses Position On Capitalism After Seeing Wide Variety Of American Oreos


WASHINGTON—Admitting the startling discovery had compelled him to reexamine his long-held beliefs, His Holiness Pope Francis announced Tuesday that he had reversed his critical stance toward capitalism after seeing the immense variety of Oreos available in the United States. “Oh, my goodness, look at all these! Golden Oreos, Cookie Dough Oreos, Mega Stuf Oreos, Birthday Cake Oreos—perhaps the system of free enterprise is not as terrible as I once feared,” said the visibly awed bishop of Rome while visiting a Washington, D.C. supermarket, adding that the sheer diversity of flavors, various colors and quantities of creme filling, and presence or absence of an outer fudge layer had led to a profound philosophical shift in his feelings toward the global economy and opened his eyes to the remarkable capabilities of the free market. “Only a truly exceptional and powerful economic system would be capable of producing so many limited-edition and holiday-themed flavors of a single cookie brand, such as these extraordinary Key Lime Pie Oreos and Candy Corn Oreos. This is not a force of global impoverishment at all, but one of endless enrichment.” At press time, the pontiff had reportedly withdrawn his acceptance of capitalism, calling any system that would unleash a Roadhouse Chili Monster Slim Jim on the public “an unholy abomination.”

Key lime pie Oreos....? Do they seriously have these?

[tacosforlife]

H and I bought Brownie Batter Oreos a couple weeks ago. I hadn't bought Oreos in aaaaaaages. I was astounded at the variety. And felt very AMERICA FUCK YEAH! at that moment.

Side note: Brownie Batter Oreos are the fucking BOMB.

I saw those, s'mores, and coconut cream yesterday- those are the ones I hadn't seen before, so that was in addition to birthday cake, reeses, pumpkin spice, etc.

I went with s'mores because I'm a sucker for oreos flavors.  It's ok.

I keep waiting for Key Lime Pie to become the next thing like Red Velvet was a thing and then s'mores was a thing.  When will key lime be a thing?!?!  Is the Key Lime Oreo foreshadowing? Please?

[mbcdefg]

But would he eat these Oreos if they existed?

I keep eyeing those and may have to give in soon!

Birthday cake is my favorite. Which isn't to say I won't try Reese's or S'mores.

I wasn't impressed with Reese's. Even my PB-obsessed husband disliked them. 

Birthday Cake was good, though. 

I'm an Oreo purist. I don't even like Double Stuff.

My husband is the same way. I don't get it! The filling is the best part.

The caramel apple ones are better than I expected.

We used to make our own double stuffs back in the day before it was a thing.

I really really like the lemon oreos

[meshaliuknits]

I just got caramel apple Oreos delivered to my desk. They are not objectionable.

They taste like the lemon sandwich girl scout cookies! But to me, they don't taste like OREOS.

Birthday Cake are delicious.

They used to have a dulce de leche flavor that was amazing.
