At one time, “Oreo”* was an insult but it changed and we can learn from them.

*Urban Dictionary: Term for African Americans that the black community is generally offended with for betraying their roots usually for dating caucasian girls, dressing too white, talking too white, etc. The term is branded OREO since they are “Black on the outside, White on the inside”

Oreo’s can be any color now.

Oreo’s don’t body shame you can be thin or double-stuffed.

Most Oreo’s are Kosher and therefore Halal too.

In Canada, Oreo’s are Bi ……. Lingual.

Oreo’s must be accepting, Fudgeo’s and offshore knock-offs* are welcomed too.

*As long as the working conditions, salaries and ingredients are fair and environmentally friendly.

Families often quarrel, but these two branches of the same family tree don’t see eye to eye.* Try to make amends with your relatives.

*The cookie competition between Oreo and Hydrox dates back more than a century. Hydrox cookies, then manufactured by Sunshine Biscuits, made their debut in 1908. Oreos, then made by the National Biscuit Co. (Nabisco), followed in 1912. Keebler purchased Sunshine Biscuits in 1996 and replaced Hydrox with a reformulated product called Droxies in 1999. Leaf Brands brought back the original Hydrox cookies in 2015. Leaf, the maker of Hydrox cookies, seeks payment of $800 million in damages due to lost sales and reputation from Mondelez International, Inc., the maker of Oreo cookies
