An Oreo’s filling should not be red. Or green. Or orange. Or any other color that coincides with a holiday. It’s just not natural. It’s an abomination against everything that is good and right. It’s an insult to its “lardy” goodness. Damn it! Why mess with a good thing.
Whew! Glad I got that off my chest.
Oh yeah…and Oreos are perfect after nookie, instead of a smoke. Note, however, that they are best consumed after sex, and not during.
Leave our childhood favorite cookies alone! When will food companies realize that their products will not become more popular if they are dyed an ungodly color?

I’m not going to make jokes about the creamy filling. Oh no.
Thank God, I thought I was the only one. Why do companies think that coloring the cookies is gonna make them more popular? Hell, why do companies think that Oreos have to BE more popular? Just leave em alone, already!
Hmmmmmm…“coloring the cookies”. There’s a phrase that begs a double meaning.
I have the same problem, only with those pastel colored easter-issue M&M’s. Sure they taste the same, but for some wierd reason the pastel color puts me off.
I think it’s because as a kid at christmas my grandmother used to bring me plastic candy canes filled with weird, cheap, fake wannabe M&M’s.
Yeah, I agree. Red orange and green are icky. This pretty blue they had a whie back was actually neat though. I never like the colored ones because they only come in double stuff and I like the chocolate cookies better than the cream filling.
IMHO Oreo’s themselves are an abomination. Everybody knows that only Hydrox (now Droxies) are the superior chocolate sandwich cookie, and they don’t come in funky colors.
And, oh yeah, Hydrox never used to have lard in them.
I completely agree! What is up with these Halloween cookies? They WOULD be nice…if one was on acid. And these green things? Grinch cookies? Um, NO. Oreos are oreos, stop making them commercial…
The dyes have a flavor, kind of bitter. It does not mix well with the chocolate cookie, and is simply nasty on its own. So the entire Oreo experience is ruined.
Thank goodness you can pretty much always get normal ones.
BTW, didn’t they have ones that turned your milk blue swirls?
I LOVE dunking oreos in milk, whatever color they are.
On the other hand…I live in Pittsburgh, as most of you know. The home of Heinz Ketchup and 57 varieties. And let me tell you, that green ketchup is selling like gangbusters.
It is IMMENSELY popular.
i love the green ketchup! it’s so exciting. “uh-oh. did i REALLY put green ketchup on my french fries, or did i accidentally grab the bottle of green tabasco sauce? no way to find out but [sound of delicious chewing] aaahhh!! it WAS green tabasco sauce! no…wait…it was ketchup.”
as soon as they come out with purple mustard and blue mayonaisse i’ll be all set.
