Day 15

As I am hard at work on my project here in Tampa, Florida, I came to the stunning realization that my 3 awesome colleagues that I am down here with have NEVER HAD BIRTHDAY CAKE CREME FILLED OREOs. Well, who am I to deprive these individuals of experiencing the greatness that is Oreo? So I ran out during the lunch hour and grabbed some Oreos from Walmart and brought them back.

Minds.
Blown.

Now, I have to admit, I intended to go to Walmart anyway because I wanted to see what sort of flavors Tampa/Brandon Florida could offer me (I check the Walmart website daily in the hopes that creamsicle and fudge sundae Oreos will magically change from “in stores only” to available online). NOTHING. In fact, I think there was less of a selection here than in the Windy City. At least I was able to bring back some Oreos for my teammates.

One of them even told me that his grandfather, who lived until his late 80s, ate one Oreo every day of his life. Clearly he knew the secret…who needs an apple when you can have an Oreo??

My other teammate was intrigued by my Oreo fascination and began to read the blog. She wanted to know what type of Oreos I have on my desk so it is only fair that I list out the flavors…in no particular order (although mint and birthday cake might be faves but shhhhhhh, don’t say it too loud because they might hear you):

Mint Creme
Golden Birthday Cake
Chocolate Birthday Cake
Peanut Butter
Coconut Fudge
Sherbet
Watermelon
Mini Goldens
Raspberry Fudge
Neopolitan
Chocolate Creme
Triple Double
Strawberries & Cream
Mega Stuf
Heads or Tails
Berry Burst Ice Cream
Summer Oreos
**Lemon Twist Coming Soon**

Now all my desk needs is banana split, fudge sundae, creamsicle, strawberry milkshake, and the Oreo blizzard creme filled ones!!!

Oh, and Kristin has not neglected her responsibilty of keeping track of happy thoughts while I am out of the office. She said a friend came down to visit the other day and had no idea what the “Oreo Desk” looked like and she was shocked. She then took an Oreo and stated that finding out about the “Oreo Desk” makes her happy. Then Kristin said seeing how happy our friend became upon seeing the “Oreo Desk” made her equally as happy so she had an Oreo too! Yay!

Here’s a little update. The four of us on this project in Tampa demolished an entire row of Oreos in less than two hours. Go team! One of my teammates likes the birthday cake creme filling so much, he made his own mega stuf…

Double Digit Day. The blog has reached a milestone folks. Day ten, one zero. Which is why today it’s totally appropriate to post a picture of how the Oreo pile has grown.

BTW, I did not mean to discredit the New Jerseyite yesterday with the “radio silence” comment. I should cut her some slack. Afterall, she is 8 months pregnant. I heard from her late last night and like all of us here in Chi-town, she is kicking herself for not buying multiple packages of the lemon twist Oreos when the opportunity presented itself. Once she finds them again, she assured me they will be mailed promptly.

ALERT!!!new challenge
No narrative explanation necessary.

A special someone just came by for an Oreo…my big boss…Assistant Vice President, or AVP as I affectionately call her. Anyhoo, she asked for selection advice and upon learning that she had NEVER TRIED THE BIRTHDAY CAKE creme-filled golden oreo I practically shoved it in her mouth. She admitted that she was nervous that I had set the bar too high and that the cookie would not live up to its lofty expectations. Fear not! I tell the truth about my Oreos and she was happy. A few of us then launched into a philosphical discussion about how hard it is to replicate the taste of birthday cake. It takes just the right amount of care because the sweetness and consistency have to be just right. Good job Oreo gods! But I digress, what makes her happy is gardening. If she won the lottery, she would garden and/or build a greenhouse. Then she said at the end of the day, she would relax with a book, in an adirondack chair, filling her nose with the sweet smell of fresh greens all around her. That DOES sound nice.
