@ H.B.M.C. Sweet!

Also, they should be individually wrapped, like bananas.

I'm going to agonise endlessly over why one is 13p and the other 14p.

[EDIT]: And there are 16p ones as well! Ahh! Too complicated!!!

Someone probably weighed the fething things. One by one. Then wrapped and labeled them...

I want my Swastikos weighed and clearly marked with some sort of identification. Keep the older ones separated from the younger ones.

What flavor? Oh, right. Vanilla.


The superior cookie, with the master flavor. 100% pure!


For gaks and giggles, use them to stamp out other cookie businesses in Poland.

from what I can see the 16p banana is slightly bigger than the 14p ones which in turn are bigger than the 13p ones.

The cookie part is white, which confuses me even more as to how someone can call this racist.

I think the thought process has to be something like this:

Oreos are black and white cookies. But they're predominantly black, and the white stuff is the 'best part'. So oreos fundamentally are a 'black' cookie, but with enough 'white' to make them acceptable, like Al Roker or Bryant Gumble.

Watermelon is the blackest of black stereotype foods. So now we've got a 'black' cookie with a 'black' filling. It's basically the Malcom X of cookies.

BUT THEY MADE IT WHITE. NOW IT'S THE TRAYVON MARTIN OF COOKIES. WHITE MAN NABISCO CRACKER BE HATIN HOMZ.

No, the biscuit (=cookie) parts are vanilla so they are lol creme colored (off white).

After picking the thing off a tree, I really doubt a single person was involved in the process, not when the final selling price was 16p.

There's likely some highly sophisticated assembly line weighing each banana, putting it on a foil tray, wrapping it, then applying a price based on that original weight. This is the future of robotics at work, and it's actually lame and kind of stupid.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

It's a racist stereotype that black people love watermelon, but yeah it's weird one too.
Watermelon and fried chicken are the two big "racist" charactures of the african-american diet. Outside of America, all this drama probably makes no sense whatsoever.



It makes no sense inside, either.

Squatting with the squigs

After reading that article I'm thinking chicken in a biskit is racist.

It's chicken flavoured and the spelling of biskit is making me think ghetto. Are lots of snacks out there racist? I seem to remember growing up on gollywog biscuits.

One might think that racism isn't a rational thing.

My family is German and Polish, and I am a 4th or 5th generation American. I'm about as white as white could be. All that aside, I would kill a man to get some good fried chicken, love watermelon, grape kool-aide, and rap music. Those stereotypes have never made much sense to me.

Also, on a side note, my best friend is Iranian and his dad has such an unhealthy obsession with Oreos that it drives his wife crazy. He came over to the states first to get everything ready for their family, and when his wife came with their daughter, she had told him to have everything ready. When they got to the apartment he was renting, my buddy's dad was extremely proud that he had just gone to the grocery store to get a bunch of food. My buddy's mom opened the cupboards to find them filled with oreos and opened the fridge to find nothing but milk. Needless to say she was not too happy. Also, the first time I visited their house, his dad offered me a plate of oreos that he keeps for guests as if they were foreign delicacies.

Now, the question that no one has asked yet - can we eat these new Oreos while we cosplay as anime characters?

I think that it's the whole combining watermelon flavors, with an oreo....

In many circles, as a slightly racist joking term, and oreo is: someone who is black on the outside, and yet, they love things that "only white people like"... Often times, at least these sorts of people I've worked with, we'll give them other nicknames like Carlton, or Carl Winslow (the first one was because there was a dude in my class who definitely met this term, grew up in a golf town and was completely naive to a large portion of typical black stereotypes... the other one, well, he looked like Carl Winslow from that TV show)
