***** Seems that watermelon Oreos are creating some controversy... The company has tried a couple of different limited-edition flavors and this year's choice is watermelon...

*****Some people seem to think the very concept is racist...

****Racist, no. Doesn't sound too tasty though. Watermelon and chocolate don't really go hand in hand. I could see watermelon with their golden creme cookie, that might be tasty.

*** That's another thing... Are they really Oreos?...From the picture of the package I saw, looks as though the cookies are vanilla and not chocolate...

***As far as the taste factor, I can't say as I'm not big on sandwich cookies in general...

**Technically I think they are called golden creme. They are Oreos in the same sense that soft and chewy chips ahoy cookies are still chips ahoy chocolate chip cookies. But to me an Oreo is chocolate cookie with creme filling.

*The article I read mentioned that some people obviously have a problem with Watermelon Oreos...

*Now, if African-Americans say that the concept is racist, does that make it so because they are qualified to make that call?

Perception matters, and if someone finds it offensive, why should someone else tell them that they're wrong for being offended? They're entitled to feel that way. It might be more productive to ask why other people find offense in something you don't than to dismiss those people.
*Suppose the response was mostly positive...Most people liked this flavor. If a small amount of people had a problem with the very idea of it, should this limited edition product have an even shorter shelf life?
That's up to Nabisco, isn't it? If they want to make it, it's their call. If they don't, also their call.Followup Messages:
