I try to stay away from "junk food" these days, but ever so often I must indulge. My favorite go to indulgence is always something chocolate. Recently, when the craving hit, I grabbed a bag of my favorite, never fail, make me feel wonderful cookies....yes, I am talking about Oreos. I always start with a tall glass of milk with a few ice cubes thrown in. Then I open the bag and deeply inhale the dark chocolate aroma before selecting the first cookie. However, this time, there was no dark chocolate smell at all. I thought maybe my nose was too stuffed up from allergies. But no, there was no dark chocolate smell. Then I selected a cookie. I always bite the first one before dunking the rest. I bit into the Oreo and awaited the taste of chocolate and creamy goodness...there was none.
Eating that cookie was the most horrible experience ever. I then passed the bag to my kids. They tried the cookies (they don't deserve the name Oreo) and didn't like them either. For the first time in the history of our snacking, that bag sat on the table with no more than 3 cookies taken out. Normally, they would have lasted 30 minutes once discovered.
I don't know what Nabisco did to my beloved Oreos, but I want them to undo it. I understand that change can be good, but this change was just plain nasty. When I go through our local market, I pass on all Nabisco products for fear that they have been contaminated with bad taste as well.
I did go to the Nabisco Facebook page and complain, and was happy to discover I wasn't the only one that detected the change.
