There’s been a flurry of conversation about this “America’s-favorite-cookie-is-as-addicitive-as- cocaine-business.” But none of these conversations have been as amusing as this email exchange that took place between myself and my Oreo-loving colleagues. Enjoy!

Teammate 1: I heard about this article/study yesterday…Oreo cookies are as addictive as Cocaine??!?!?

Teammate 2: I know! I saw this article yesterday and sent it to Lauren but she beat us all and already had it and her commentary on the blog.

Teammate 3: I refuse to believe it and plan to continue my Oreo indulgence! Afterall, if this were really as addicitive as cocaine, there wouldn’t be any Oreos left on Lauren’s desk, aka – the magical Oreo Office (or is it possible that I am just another addict who doesn’t want to admit that she has a problem?? Hmmmmmmm).

Teammate 4: I think you are right, obviously if this were a real problem, I wouldn’t be able to stop and there would be tons of EMPTY Oreo Birthday Cake packages locked away in a desk drawer because I didn’t want the proof staring me in the face…
NO ONE OPEN ANY OF THE DRAWERS IN MY DESK AND WE CAN ALL GO ON AGREEING THAT WE DON’T HAVE PROBLEMS…

Teammate 2: Okay, this email has started some cravings, specifically an Oreo McFlurry. I plan on taking a walk of shame to the corner Mickey D’s at 2:30 if anyone wants to join. Perhaps we can go find a 12 step program after.

Teammate 1: These are hilarious! Hope you enjoyed your McFlurry. I have a confession…a couple of months ago after Lauren told me there was a Mega Stuf Oreo, I went out and bought a package thinking I would just try one and then bring the rest into work. Well, you all never saw them and I polished off the whole package in a week. Addict? Nooo….

Teammate 2: I did enjoy my McFlurry! And to prove to myself that I don’t have a problem, I got an M&M McFlurry rather than an Oreo one.

Me: Traitor.
