cookies are bad (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/05/12/OREO.TMP)
"The suit, the first of its kind in the country, asks for an injunction ordering Kraft Foods to desist from selling Nabisco Oreo Cookies to children in California, because the cookies are made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, also called trans fat. "
This is a direct offshoot of the tobacco lawsuits which pumped billions of dollars into the lawsuit industry. This won't be the last one. One day we'll all live forever.

Oreo cookies are one of the best foods on the face of the earth. Next thing you know they'll be going after #1: Twinkies.

I know what to do, let's give California to France! They deserve each other.
-
Come on now, I know you all hate us Californians, but wanting to give us to france is just going to far!

No way. F*ng layers would never get rid of one of the most effective and successful defenses ever.

Mietla is refering to the Twinkies Defense used by Dan White in defense at his murder trial for the killings of San Francisco mayor George Moscone and City Councilman Harvey Milk. In spite of the fact Dan White paused to reload his .357 Magnum revolver while going between the offices of Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Milk the jury bought off on the notion that Dan White was incapable of knowing what he was doing due to an overdose of Twinkies.
Dan White later committed suicide, so presumably he was never able to overcome his Twinkies addiction.

lol Airhead. Is that true? A real tear jerker you got there. What is a twinkie?
-
What is a twinkie?
A twinkie is an edible object which contains no organic matter.
-
I twinkie is a cream filled snack cake, and sadly Airhead is only joking a little, a guy did use them as a defense, but still got convicted of manslaughter.

Dowding,
I think the things break down slower than styrofoam. They'll be doing archeology in the U.S. a million years from now, and will find only one thing left... Twinkies

They also survive a nuclear blast.

Nothing better than a twinkie that has been around for about 3 years. That hint of a crust on the outside adds a whole new textural dimension.

Dowding, absolutely true. I forget which one he capped first- Moscone or Milk- but he paused to reload at least once and fired at least twelve rounds. And a Twinkie is a confection of a cream and sugar filled center surrounded by a cake and sugar shell. As my memory recalls it was the preservatives along with the sugar that caused Dan White's temporary insanity and contributed to the killings of George Moscone and Harvey Milk. It was a sad day for San Francisco, but it sure as Hell opened the door for Diane Fienstein's rise to power.

Dowding,
You really should see if someone will send you a box of twinkies. If no one is willing, email me and I'll do it. We can worry about the shipping and other costs later. Serious offer BTW.
-
Don't just ban Oreos. Almost everything that qualifies as a snack bought in the store, contains "trans fats." As I understand it, hydrogenated oils are used to preserve shelf life.
So, there's the tradeoff. Devise a quicker method of getting snack products produced and delivered, and there will no longer be a need for hydrogenization...which helps keep foods from spoiling quickly.

Just make friends with an american working at an USAF/RAF base and get him to take you to the commissary. We've imported twinkies for our military so we don't get too lonely for the US. :D

I've got a sweet tooth that would give a sabre toothed tiger a run for its money. I love food - only exercise keeps my waist size down. It's a good job I'm not an American, I get the feeling it would be much easier to put on the pounds with these Twinkie things. :)
That's cool Athena. Funny thing is the CO of my AH squad is in the USAF at Ramstein in Germany. :)
Thanks for the offer Maverick. I might take you up on it - I'm sure there is something British I could send in the name of international relations. I guess it would have to keep well and easy to store. Perhaps a liquid of some kind... I just don't know what... ;)
-
here you are bashing the french over an over again.....
this time the french is laughing at your stupidity......
Lawyers sue Oreo Cookies.......too much man:D

As long as it ain't them BANGERS! or the Blood Sausage stuff.
Yeeech!

I'm shocked, SHOCKED!, and Outraged! that Twinkies (or their low-budget substitute "Zingers" (the unfrosted version)) aren't imported into Europe. I would think such lucious vanilla cream-filled cake heaven would be a cornerstone of the Marshall Plan or something.

gofaster, maybe we could open up a little shop in London and carry American sugar based snack food treats. We'll call it "Twinks."

Yes, I agree. Let them eat Yankee Doodles and Ho-Hos!
And to wash it all down - RC cola with a moon pie chaser!
