He was finally licked.

*Familyguyfarroud"Isfunny"* pic

ok, without me having to parse that article, how could a guy who is 76 and worked for the company for 34 years have invented a cookie that's been around for over 100 years ?

If he died at age 76 and Oreo is celebrating its 100 year anniversary, I don't see how he "invented" the filling. If anything, he disinvented it, turning it from a naturally derived vanilla and milk product into some Frankensteinian combination of corn sugar and starch. These days Oreos are vegan, believe it or not.

/Wonder how he feels about the new Mondelez International Inc?

Oh please. It's patently obvious he's a time traveler.

Ahhh maybe its just me but didn't Oreo just steal the filling idea from Hydrox the original creme filled cookie? Oreo came out years later. Granted Hydrox had the name of a laundry detergent (which I think caused its down fall) but over all it was a better product IMO.

Lard + sugar

I'm sorry. This headline sucks.

So he's the douche responsible for making the filling out of crisco?

F*ck that guy.

O-re-o-re-o!

-1 headline

I swear that the headline changed for me. Unpossible?

I don't think that this guy was a time traveler. This man invented the cream filling, Someone from the future went back in time with the the Oreos to get rich. That's why the real inventor died so poor he had to be buried in a black cemetery.

rtyfx: I'm sorry. This headline sucks.

Agreed. And, frankly, it's a little bit racist. Just a little, but still...

eraser8: I'm going to go ahead and say it: good riddance.

Oreo filling is horrible, evil, rotten stuff. I'm pretty sure it contains Hitler DNA.

The only good part of an Oreo is the chocolate cookie.

BOOOOOOOOUUUUURNNNSSSS

They dipped him in milk before burial.

Hello? Hello teh funnays? Where you go?

/certainly not to this headline

There can be only one.

OMG I can't believe nobody linked the Korean advertisement linked in the article. It's like the best Oreo Advertisement EVAR!!!!

Almost got me.

8/10, subtle yet quite effective. plays on emotion as well as olfactory and taste elements. well done.

I don't get the headline.

/oh wait, it's racist. Now I get it.

Well, it used to be just Crisco and confectioner's sugar. Yeah, that's some regular rocket science there.

Apparently I'm the only one that that the headline was humorous.

Who brought the milk?

Sammy Davis Jr was jewish.

Lots of people here who don't get subby's joke. Dang. Well, growing up around theater kids, there was always a couple of oreos in the group.

/also, Egg, Banana. What's the inverse of an Oreo?

--H

At first I was like, "Sammy Davis, Jr. is buried next to Jimi???" Then I was like, "Oh."

I know breast feeding is supposed to be accepted in society but companies still frown on nipples displayed on company computers. Can you farkin throw a (might be NSFW) in there when you do that shiat? This is a cookie thread.

How do they feel about roaming fark on company computers?

breastfeeding nipples are bad -- reading threads about cookies on your employers time and property is ok tho...

For all the non-TFA-readers musing about time travel and all that:


From TFA. He did not invent the original cream, only things in modern variations on the Oreo:

"During his tenure at Nabisco, Porcello created not only the "stuf" in the Double Stuf Oreos, but he also developed the chocolate-covered and the white chocolate-covered Oreo."

I hereby volunteer to be the 'filing' of an Oreo consisting of Zoe Saldana and Haley Berry.

I bet those are the only two famous black people subby ever heard of.

So sad.

This is all Obama's fault. He made being an oreo a respectable thing. Lower taxes and, um, let me see your birth certificate? Tea Party for Life!!!1!

First it was Eugene Polley the guy that invented the Remote Control now this guy. Who's next??

Also, obligatory.

kemosabe: So he's the douche responsible for making the filling out of crisco?

F*ck that guy.

This. I used think Oreos were the greatest cookie ever. Then, in the space of a single week, I stumbled across cracked.com's list of godawful foods full of things that will kill you (I don't remember the actual title) and found the "Criscoreo" close to the top. A couple days later I had the opportunity to have a similar "sandwich" cookie made with, you know, normal ingredients. (Trader Joe's? I can't remember now.)

Like night and day, I'm telling you.

Hermione_Granger: I bet those are the only two famous black people subby ever heard of.

And this. Subtard fails hard at this one.
