The Twitter feed for Oreo cookies seemed to weigh in on the day’s events with a simple statement Thursday: “Trans people exist.” The Nabisco cookie brand sent out those three words following a busy day of debate over gender identity rights. That included a contentious day of testimony over President Biden’s transgender Health and Human Services deputy secretary nominee Rachel Levine, where conservative Kentucky senator Rand Paul drilled Levine on topics including hormone treatment for trans teens.(Snip) A lot of Twitter users accused Oreo of trying to appeal to hip, young people with its tweet. The snack food brand offered no follow-up

So do lots of other mentally ill people exist. They should be getting mental health services, not being "celebrated"!!!
What the heck does this have to do with cookies?!?!?

So Nabisco has hired a 16-year old pajama boy to do their social media presence.
I can live without Nabisco. Actually live a healthier life without Nabisco. Mental health, too.

The little black and white treat is so bad for your health. You'd think they'd try to keep a lower profile. The brand nor the cookie has not much to do with social graces, but they'll try to insert themselves anyway. I was looking for something else with gluten to boycott. Thanks Nabisco, for stepping up.

No, they don't.
No matter how many times some sad leftist jerk says so, the chromosomes cannot be changed.

Years ago during finals at Auburn, we sent out a friend to buy Oreos. We had emptied our pockets and sofa cushions for money.
He came back with Hydrox and was summarily burned at the stake.
Today, Oreos is not last on my list. They’re not even ON the list.
Tweet a w a y.

Hmmm, are they telling us they still have trans fats in them there Oreo cookies? They've been lying to us for a whole decade! There must be millions of trans fatty people walking around who eat their cookies.

I grew up with Hydrox and would prefer them. They were a rare treat then. I’ve been good at not succumbing to the temptation of Oreos and haven’t bought them for a couple years. How do they think this will help there bottom line? It’s about time to come up with a boycott list I almost bought Gillette razors today.

Damn, if the cookie said it, it must be true. /sarc
"Trans" is a mental and emotional illness, commonly expressing itself in self-mutilation.

Decades ago a handful of 'We military people not permitted be around civilized folks' Where hanging out in what ever little hell hole Our uncle sent us to..and after a few weeks, one of the replacements for Air America picked up this odd paper that was apparently dumped on every hotel doorstep.
So a few days passed. Each of these papers had a full inside page add. THIS one was a very simple on of a pack of Oreo cookies and a 1/2 gal of Milk. No words, that I recall.
Ok, I am not a snake eater, but I have known a few and supported then in any way I could.Including obtaining what ever I could.
This was a challenge.
I ended up getting a couple of my mates to meet a C-130 crew at 3AM (or so) to deliver the small cooler of goods to us a few hours later in a previously scheduled flight (no excess Taxpayer money involved) (BTW, Taxpayers, don't ask about Thanksgiving dinner..it cost you a boatload)
The fine loadmaster located me( pretty easy to do, since I parked them) and the packs of our new treasure were sent under guard to the command tent.
That evening, when everyone was 'home', after a blind draw of MRE (Three Lies in One Acronym) The dehydrated era...we feasted on Oreos and real (not UHT) Milk.
I paid out of pocket about $20 or so, and it was worth every penny to watch these guys, so rough and coarsened from the time away from home. I was nothing near these guy's experience. I might as well have been a presenter on CNN.
After that day, they knew I understood. It didn't make my life much better, but they DID know that I had their backs.
God bless that aircrew. God bless the rough men doing the crap for some old guys with an ego. I'll never fully come home, but I hope some of them do.

Nebisco could not leave well enough alone that they had to pull in the Oreo cookie. Well, there goes another item off my list to purchase.

There are several other private brands that make just as good oreo-type cookies, cheaper too. Walmart, Aldi, etc.

Oreos, a true statement of what our country has become...a little white in the middle, surrounded by a whole lotta chocolate.

Not a cookie fan I think I ate an Oreo cookie back in 1955 never was much for sweet treats. I don't even shop or walk on the cookie aisle in the grocery store. That statement was Nabisco's Coke, Gillett and Firestone tire moment.

We started boycotting all things Nabisco about 10 years ago when they put out a television ad featuring 2 dads and their adopted son and used the word “wholesome” as the catch word.
#5 is right. Do you know what’s in that “creamy” filling? Crisco and powdered sugar. Read the label some time - most of the ingredients are unpronounceable.

If you accidentally "drop" a package of these on a concrete floor in the aisle, just put it back where you found it and move along......

It's really hard to understand why these corporate giants keep dipping their toes in the leftist political opinion sewers. Why would you do that - seems to me that leftists can't help but be activists, proselytizing at every opportunity.

No Nabisco product has been worth a damn since Mondelez took over.
They changed the recipe on everything. Removed salt, trans fats, everything than makes everything taste good. They ruined Ritz crackers and Oreos.

Are there any actually real or unmodified ingredients in an Oreo? I admit, if have eaten my share of them, but only when they were onsale. I stopped eating them sometime ago to lower my trygliceride numbers. Strangely, I have not missed them. Any my body said, "Thank you."

As far as this family is concerned, Nabisco has not existed for well over a decade now and counting. Nabisco, Mondelez? Back on the shelf it goes, no problem at all, zir.
