One strange cookie

And now for something completely different!

Most processed food products are imitations of real, genuine recipes. They are never as good, but the dish usually has some history behind it. The foods are made up of imitations of other existing foods. Chips Ahoy! comes from chocolate chip cookies, which are very cookable. Chicken McNuggets are supposed to taste like chicken. Processed lunchmeat is still meat, I think. Campbell's soup, Sara Lee, all just mass-produced versions of real food.

Oreos, though, are a mystery to me. Where did the Oreo come from? They are tasty, but they are fake, fake, fake. Honestly, cream-flavored sugar holding together two chocolate crackers? Not a real food. Nothing resembles it! I mean, this cookie reeks of engineering. And who came up with the bright idea to dip it into milk? I'm not being sarcastic, here, either. It really was a bright idea.

I have come to the conclusion that Oreos represent a sizable portion of what is wrong with society today. So yummy and irresistable, yet so fake and BAD FOR YOU!

Enough randomness for now...
