@kels0091 I think that it deserves noodle treatment in cookie form. They say not to feed the trolls, but we’re all Oreo lovin and I think it’s sweet. *wink* Maybe others will join in on the appreciation. 

kels0091

@NYTino24 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Lol

kels0091  Yeah, apparently when you get a massage, they massage 'toxins' out of your system, so you're supposed to drink a lot of water to flush them out.  If you don't, the toxins can be absorbed back in or something and you can get sick (people have even reported flu like symptoms if they didn't drink enough water).  Again, not my field... so yeah.  Hope you start feeling better soon!

kels0091

@dpchickens the water totally helped !!!! 
Thank you to everyone for all of the helpful advice. It’s still tender so I do think the pressure was a bit too much but live and learn. I’ll mention it to her next time  

also, @dpchickens hope you’re doing ok. I read your comment about rage and I feel you on that. ❤️

The oreo comments have made me smile. I'm not really a fan of oreos, but I will bring as many flavors of Tim Tams as I can to the party. 

dpchickens

kels0091  Meh, no one's dead yet so I'm calling it a win.  LOL.

@b_1029 - Did you also try the chocolate peanut butter pie Oreos in the background of your picture???

b_1029

@marebear15 I did not! But we still have a day and a half 🤣

kels0091

@b_1029 please try them and report back lol inquiring minds need to know 

nitnat007

@spacemountaineer I am all about the Tim Tam's. I polished off a pack of the double coated yesterday. They are so good!

jennifer_louise

@b_1029 yes, inquiring minds want to know! Did you think the Canadian ones were better? I think they don't have high fructose corn syrup, maybe that explains the difference?? 

b_1029

@jennifer_louise honestly, it has been so long since I’ve eaten an Oreo that I should probably get a pack to bring home and do a taste test 😂

kels0091

@b_1029 it’s for science ! 😂😂

Since I have been chuckling to myself at all the oreo comments I had to admit to MF what we talk about all day long. When we were at the grocery store yesterday he came up behind me and hugged me and presented me with a pack of oreos, which I bought, along with mini rainbow chips ahoy. Which I ate for breakfast. And thought of all of you as I ate them. I will forever think of you when I eat oreos now!   

lcking82

gone for a weekend and I missed ALL the yummy oreo/TimTam talk!  

inthewoods23

@kiki047 can't go wrong buying both Oreos and chips ahoy. Sometimes I want a chocolate chip cookies, and sometimes I want the cream from an Oreo 🙂

I had 5 Samoas for lunch dessert today and had to stop myself from starting in on the next row of 5.  

inthewoods23

I don't watch Game of Thrones, but I just saw on FB that there are some new Oreos being released before the start of the final season. The whole packaging is black.

kagesstarshroom

Super late to this one (& also not thru catching up on reading the whole thread oops) but hoping y’all went with a Peg or Peggy so I can use Hamilton gifs on the randoms thread. Also, this is great “i am super early to my flight” reading— y’all were busy when I was gone! i am thru page 8 now, 3 more to go... or 4? #ICantCount. 

kagesstarshroom

posted the above RIGHT BEFORE Oreo/cookie madness began haha! I am a double stuf gal myself. But now I am intrigued by some of these wild flavors plus the whole Canada Does Oreos Better knowledge... I will look out for interesting ones next time I go grocery shopping (has to be tomorrow/soon since there has got to be nothing perishable in our fridge—) 

inthewoods23

@kagesstarshroom I don't think we talked about the name much, but Peggy works for me!

dpchickens

I like Peg/Peggy....

shamrocandroll

I vote Peggy/Peg for short! 

emeraldcity1214

I like Peggy 😂

kagesstarshroom

I know it isn't OrEoS, but apparently there will be many new Peeps flavors for Easter this year! As it isn't even Lent yet, who knows when they will debut! I don't love peeps like I love my double stufs, but..... stillllll.....

EXCERPT: "Peeps is releasing certain specialty flavors to exclusive stores across the nation. Midwest grocery chain Kroger will exclusively sell Root Beer Float Flavored Marshmallow Chicks, while Target is to exclusively sell Vanilla Crème Flavored Marshmallow Chicks and Chocolate Caramel Swirl Flavored Marshmallow Chicks. Lastly Walmart stores will exclusively carry Peeps’ Blue Raspberry Flavored Marshmallow Chicks flavor."

Has anyone tried the thin bites dipped Oreos? They're BOGO at my grocery store right now, but I can't decide if they're worth trying or not. Sometimes fudge dipped things can be kinda grainy and bleh.

marebear15

@kagesstarshroom - I saw that and immediately thought of our Oreo conversation. I'd love to try the root beer one, but we don't have a Kroger in town 😞

@dreamscapes_ - No I haven't tried those. I vote you try them and report back to the group.

dreamscapes_

@marebear15 I'll see if DH wants to run to the store after he gets off work, lol. I'm at home and he has the car.

jennifer_louise

Oh man I'm out of the loop and as much as I want to go back and relive the Oreo convo, can somebody fill me in on Peggy/Peg? 

marebear15

@jennifer_louise - What should we call a drive-by who thinks they are pregnant.

brookert615

I like Peg. Carol is so overused lol! 

jennifer_louise

Oooh @marebear15 I like it! Is it a specific person or can it be any drive by? That would give poor "Karen" a break from being our target... 

shamrocandroll

@kagesstarshroom I was just skimming your comment about different peep flavors because I'm not as into peeps, and at first I read "roast beef" instead of "root beer" and was like "Um, WHAT!?" and had to go back and reread it.    What it actually says makes much more sense.  Also, I'm a weirdo and I only like Peeps if they're stale.  I like the crunchy exterior and chewy interior it gives them.  So I just leave open packages of peeps laying around my house for a week so they can "age".  MH has taken to pre-aging my Peeps before putting them in my basket, even though he thinks I'm insane.   

marebear15

@jennifer_louise - Yep! Any drive-by. Should give Carol, Karen, and Felicia a break

@shamrocandroll - I love stale ones too! I open the package, eat half, and let the other half get stale. YH is so cute to think of that for you.

dreamscapes_

@shamrocandroll Have you ever tried meringue cookies? You might like them, since they have that kind of texture when made correctly.

inthewoods23

@marebear15 not sure where you live, but that probably also includes any stores that Kroger owns, like all the Pick'n'saves, metro market, copps, etc. are part of Kroger here in WI so you might find them at a store near you!

marebear15

@inthewoods23 - Ugh apparently I'm in one of the 5 states they don't own any stores in.

inthewoods23

@marebear15 I really don't like peeps, but I can taste test them for you and let you know if they're good 😆

shamrocandroll

@dreamscapes_ Yes!  Love them!  My favorite cookie is an almond cookie made by King Arthur Flour.  A little crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside.  Mmmmmm!  Also gluten free, in case we have any GF people who are being tortured by all of this Oreo talk!
