There are 28 types of Oreos! Does anyone else think this is a bit much? Now, don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against Oreos. They’re tasty – at least in their original form which I have to admit is the only type for which I can personally vouch. But this, to me, is exactly why we Americans are not exactly the most well-loved citizens in the world. This is not types of cookies, remember, this is types of Oreo cookies which means there are also hundreds of additional cookie options at any given supermarket in any given town. There are people in the world who literally eat bugs and dirt to survive. The wealthiest nations in the world offer less than 10 varieties of cookie in their largest supermarkets. The average American walks into their local supermarket to find 28 TYPES OF OREO COOKIES at their disposal, gets fat, and then complains about there being too much food available. Admit if you lived in the desert this would be annoying! That’s all I’m saying.
