Things We Saw Today: Kraft’s Pride Oreo

by Jamie Frevele | 4:58 pm, June 26th, 2012


Kraft celebrated Pride Day yesterday by posting this rainbow Oreo on its Facebook page. While the response was mostly positive — nearly 170,000 “likes” at the time of this writing — guess what? Some people didn’t like it because of the gay. And now they’re going to boycott cookies. Well, I guess they’ll go eat worms. More cookies for us! Good job, Kraft! (via Business Insider)

The Frisky has a collection of 10 adorable animal pendants. Between that and the Doctor Who shirts at Her Universe, all your money is gone.

  • Target and Marvel are going to team up to make tie-in merch for The Amazing Spider-Man, including pajamas. Previews will appear on the Target site. I’m really not sure if I have to say anything else, because that sounds pretty great. Oh yeah — will they make the promised PJs in my size, and are they going to end up being pink and lacy? Because seriously, I will invent a web shooter and shoot it in someone’s face. (via The Hollywood Reporter)
  • io9 asks an incredibly important question: Can you accidentally get an STD from a koala? We won’t keep you waiting. The answer is YES. Holy crap. No, we’re worried, too. You are not alone.

    • There is a hidden superhero in this picture. Try to find it. (via Bleeding Cool)

  • The Jane Dough has a greatest hits list of dumb criticism lodged against the Girl Scouts, those filthy Commie spies.
  • A lesson in “cheesecake art,” in the wake of the wonky-looking Catwoman cover, by Dante Shepard at Surviving the World. (via tipster George — Thanks, George!)

    • James Hance (cartoonist and creator of Wookie the Chew) has come up with another heartwarmingly adorable mashup: Star Wars and Where the Wild Things Are. Because he knows his audience. Available at Red Bubble. (via Fashionably Geek)

    Iron persons, in alphabetical order. (via The Daily What)

      That’s disgusting! LOL. Oreo cream is gross. I was always everyone’s best friend at lunch because I would trade away the side the cream stuck to. I only wanted the chocolate cookies. (Hydrox, on the other hand… entirely delicious.)

      Well, it’s a very pretty oreo, but it freaks me out a tad because I’m allergic to food coloring (which, by the way, is generally not good for people anyway)!

      If they were in alphabetical order, Iron Lady would be first.

      When I was in Australia I got my picture taken with a Koala. When I looked at the picture I saw that the koala was full on groping me. If that little beast gave me chlamydia as well they better watch out for my vengeance.

      Those cookies are gay and I wish those commie girl scouts sold them so I could buy a couple dozen boxes.

      Putting Margaret Thatcher with Iron Man? No way.

      Yeah, “Maggie” was a strong woman, but not in a good way. War-mongering, overly conservative, treated the poor like crap… Strong? Yes. Good? Hell no. Of course, Tony Stark’s an asshole, too, but at least he cares about people.

      I’d rather see someone badass like Queen Elizabeth, or Joan of Arc share shelf space with Iron Man! A woman who was both strong AND good for her people!

       Yes! The cookie is the best part! To me, the icing tastes like they just mixed sugar and water.

      Thank you! Just saw this and as a librarian was disturbed that this was supposedly alphabetical.

      I think she’s there purely because of the title, and not as any real comparison between her and Tony Stark. o_O

      More oreos for me~

      Those who do not like the cream filling can send theirs to me, because I love the stuff. Send the food coloring too, because everything will give you cancer eventually, and I like colorful things.

      Life’s too short to be paranoid. <3

      They probably did.  A lot of confections are just some form of sugar or other.  It was kind of great this past Easter when I volunteered to help with the church carnival, and kept the cotton candy machine running long after we ran out of mix because I found a box of plain old granulated sugar in the kitchen.  A lot of people were kind of shocked to learn that that’s all it is.

      Nevertheless, if only they could effectively food-color the chocolate cream.  Then this would be a highly delicious cookie.  Or maybe they could try it with peanut butter cream?
