Simple Indulgence

The true focus of this post will be at the end. You may read this, and wonder, "Max, what's your point?" Assuming we are friends then I ask you to trust me. Patience is the key.

Simple. A two cookies with cream in the middle. An American staple. The sweet sweet indulgence that a simple food can bring. If you haven't guess, I am talking about the Oreo.

The Oreo is phenomenal. Throughout the years there have been many renditions, but the concept is the same. However, there is one rendition that never went away. DOUBLE STUFF! Double stuff Oreos are delicious. There is no doubt in my mind. I thoroughly enjoy them as do a great number of people. My only question is, what happened to the standard?

The normal Oreo seems to have gone missing! With the double stuff Oreo, is there a need for a normal Oreo? The double stuff has become the standard. It used to be a big deal if you bought a package of double stuff Oreos, but now it just seems natural.

America loves euphemisms. Can the average person handle the truth? No, and that is why we use euphemisms. Here is my solution to the Oreo issue conveyed above. Change the double stuff Oreo to the regular Oreo, and rename the regular Oreo...THE DIET OREO! It's brilliant. A nation with the constant threat of obesity disguising a simple Oreo as a diet! It only makes sense. Plus it isn't lying because the new regular Oreo has twice as much filling.

I hope you read this whole thing, and did wish for immediate satisfaction. Sometimes there needs to be a little background reading into my thoughts.
