If you love Oreos as much as you should you'll appreciate this. I complained to Nabisco last week about a sub-par batch of cookies I received and ended up getting a free bag out of it. (Incidentally, Oreos make a good snack between dives. Esp. Oreos with peanut butter -- keeps you energized for HOURS.)

"To the Oreo gods:

As 22 year connoisseur of Oreos and a self-proclaimed world-clss dunker, I've seen a lot of Oreos. Now, while the Nabisco variation on the classic chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookie will always hold a senior ranking in my heart, I've noticed significant batch variation in terms of the flavor and hardness of the cookies. The best cookies, in my most humble opinion, are the hard cookies, though recently I've been hard pressed to round up a bag. In fact over the past months I've noticed a significant decline in cookie quality to the point where I literally have been dunking my most recent installment of Oreos for less than a second. This is a rediculous and shameful turn of events and I'm really upset about it. In a quality batch of oreos the dunk time is typically between 3 and five seconds -- the time it takes for the milk to saturate the cookie but before the last of the actual crunch disappears. I'm sure this sounds like a joke but I'm actually quite serious.
A bag of Oreos lasts me about five days which means that on average I'm spending (at $3 a bag) $219 dollars a year on them. I think I deserve a little better quality than I've been getting. Please tell me where and how to get my mitts on some top quality crunchiness. "

That is too good! I think I'll try it with Labatts and see where it gets me. If the truck pulls up at the house, I'll let you all know!

I forget which beer commercial it was. This guy goes "But I love you man" and the driver says: "Sorry man, no free beer"

oOo-oOo

Aaron let you touch his computer again. Man you really are a freak! :wink:
 
Yeah, good call on the beer. Last week when I was staying home to chill with Aaron's girlfriend, we spent the morning perusing the internet for free food. I tried Sam Adams and Ben and Jerries while she tried to crack Godiva chocolates. No response as yet from Sammy. As for B and J's -- that's a tough nut to crack. They ask for all the funny numbers on the back of the carton. Dirty rats! Good luck pirating more food, y'all.

I actually did this with McDonalds! :lol: Every single time I go there, they will mess up my order somehow, someway, but they do. I will order food, go thru the drive thru, and arrive home to realize they left something out. True, I don't NEED my fries, and true I don't NEED syrup for my hotcakes...... but...... when you order several hamburger combos (not all for myself of course), and arrive home..... to realize everyone elses order was complete except mine (Only fries & a drink), you tend to get pissy!

So I wrote them an e-mail telling them that it never fails.... they always mess up my order at THAT PARTICULAR location. In return, I received $20 certificate for free food! hahaha

FREE IS GOOD....... fatty foods to make you fat is BAD!
