After 12 or 14 years or something like that... (we can say 13- meet in the middle) I still do not eat (or like) chocolate, more specifically coco. Yes, I realize being female this is for sure a strange concept to understand, but being the baby in the office, and one of my many odd traits, this creates many debates and conversations.
Don't get me wrong, I highly enjoy a good debate, and so does Kegan (one of my co-workers) so lets just say its not an uncommon occurrence to have a debate about chocolate, or food on a weekly (if not daily) bases.
Today's debate: Are Oreos Chocolate?
Now I think this is a no brainer, I mean come on, you type in "What are Oreos" in google and the FIRST thing to pop up is: "oreo - chocolate cookie with white cream filling"....thank you google...CHOCOLATE! But while I feel that is case and point, no one else seems to agree with me. SO I further the search, Ingredients in oreos, and it states that both coco and chocolate are in oreos. Again, how much more right could I be?! BUT, while posing the question to facebook, other co-workers, random people that evening outside of the office, yes I took this outside of work because I feel so strongly that I am right, and I would say 8 out of 10 responses when I ask if oreos are chocolate I get, "no they are oreos" so I further asking what they taste like and I get the response "oreos."
I lose at many debates in the office when it comes to food (people in my office are gross, they will eat anything) but I will NOT lose this battle.
Please someone agree with me!!
This is the order of the Chocolate World:
ReplyDeleteChocolate/cacao/anything on the fairly pure side
Chocolate Ice Cream
Hot Fudge/Fudge
Chocolate Cake
Peanut Butter
Oreo's/Joe Joe's
Hot Chocolate
Chocolate Mouse
French Silk Pie from Baker Square
White Chocolate
Chocolate flavored hard candy
Oreo's are for sure Chocolate unless you don't eat the cookie part. BUT! I would rather have Joe Joe's any day of the week!
As long as I have known Shae I have never understood her lack of love for the chocolate world but one of the things I've learned is what has chocolate in it and what does not and boy do Oreo's have chocolate them!
Just my two cents... from the girl that had a candy bar and 4 different kinds of dessert at her wedding...
haha Joho I love you! This response is a major reason why we are besties!! xo
