Double stuffed Oreos

Along this line, On local radio this morning they said someone was weighing 5 pound bags of potatoes at Walmart. Some of them had less than 4 pounds. Some had between 4 and 5 pounds. One bag was over 5 pounds. So, one more thing to worry about....... You're welcome!
 
Harlan Ellison on Oreos:

"Consider the Oreo cookie. Mealy. Chocolate only in the same way that an H-bomb blast-effect is a suntan. Mendacious, meretricious, monstrously mouth-clotting... it is anti-cookie, the baked good personification of the Anti-Christ."

He also described Hostess cupcakes as being filled with elephant cum...
Begs the question - What life experiences has so familiarized him with elephant cum?

Harlan was a Hydrox guy
Hydrox cookies were superior to Oreos in every way except the name. Oreo is a cute name that just sounds like comfort food. Hydrox sounds like a cleaning product. A few years ago a company brought back Hydrox cookies and you could get them on Amazon.
 
The Oreo Lemon Thins and the new 'Smore's flavor are good.

The limited time Reeces Peanut Butter ones are ******* awesome.
 
I had no idea that's a thing. I've gotta find some o' that!
Target has all of those kinds. Swear to baby Jesus the Reeses ones are crack. But i think the lemon thins are too. Something about the richness of the Reeses peanut butter with the chocolate cookie. So good.

Inflation is real.
Shrinkflation! There are tons of videos of people buying various products and showing the serving size/nutritional value/how many cups are in the box etc. And all of them are VERY short of what they are claiming is inside. Like cereal someone opened a box live on video and showed it said there were 12 cups. There was barely 9. Prices are up...actual product you're getting is down. ******* annoying.

Wonder if this is caused by dehydration water loss since they were bagged.

I once wrote software for a bacon slicer for the UK market. There were strict laws governing the weight on the label and the actual weight of the product in the package. It was ok for a few packages to be slightly below the listed weight, but

1- The average weight of all packages had to be at or above the labeled weight
2- Any one package could be no more than 7% below the labeled weight

In practice, they tended to set the machines a touch high, by about 5% or so, because the penalties were huge, and the labor to fix the weight downstream of the slicer was costly.
