Oh that’s too true. 90% packaging for 10% product…very clever indeed isn’t it?!

Isn't there something on the package that offers a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee? But then again, not many people would take the time to mail in a package of oreos. *wink* <em><strong>That's for sure. And it's not like they don't taste fine, it's just a little disappointing!</strong></em> Definitely false advertising.

That’s for sure. And it’s not like they don’t taste fine, it’s just a little disappointing!

Then I realized that it was a double stuff pacclage and that's just wrong! I'm with you on the old being reintroduced as "new" too. Another annoying thing in this for me... is when a perfectly great product, gets overhauled and is "New and Improved", but it's terrible in it's "new" form. :/ Alas, they have their hooks in us don't they...as I'm now thinking about Oreos and milk... <em><strong>That is annoying too isn't it?

That is annoying too isn’t it? And you’re right, the hooks work well.
