Spokesmen said, “Look, we just want your money.”
“Jinx, I owe you… an Oreo flavored like a Coke?”
Gail Sherman said: “Here, have some of mine and let me encourage others to do the same”
(Is there a word for that? I think I’ve seen such a word used around here in similar contexts.)
The oreo coke is zero sugar? I don’t think they understand their audience.
I’ve never had an Oreo, I don’t think I’ll have one just yet.
I do remember these, really unpleasant.
The cookies sound intriguing, but I’m not touching Coke Zero in any flavor. Diet pop is the devil’s bathwater.
Regular Oreos are vegan if memory serves; I wonder these mutant offspring can claim the same?
I tried those coke oreos. The first one tasted a little odd, but then my tongue went numb and I couldn’t taste anything at all.
Screenshot it?
The early seventies wrapped up
Ooooh the amount of nostalgia that image contains is overwhelming!
The Olde English flavours were manky though.
Spangles. Sigh.
Like @MikeR, I just had a rather long moment of wistful nostalgia.
Unlike MikeR, I liked all the flavours, including Old English.
The regular Spangles packet (labelled simply “Spangles”) contained a variety of translucent, fruit-flavoured sweets: strawberry, blackcurrant, orange, pineapple, lemon and lime, and cola.
Over the production period many different single-flavour varieties were introduced including Acid Drop, Barley Sugar, Blackcurrant, Liquorice, Peppermint, Spearmint and Tangerine. A white mint Spangle, complete with hole, was produced as a competitor to the Polo mint.
Old English Spangles
[edit]
The Old English Spangles packet contained “traditional English” flavours. The standard line-up was liquorice (black), mint humbug (brown), pear drop (orange/red), aniseed (green) and treacle (opaque mustard yellow),[9] but other flavours appeared from time to time.
But… they already tasted the same, didn’t they?
Shouldn’t the little pills be yellow?
