Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for January 11, 2025

I like that company name – nab bite-go.

He can top it off with a chocolate chick cookie.

Brooks Robinson is not amused

I thought you could only get those in Baltimore.

it’s a tweet treat

Almost repeating yourself, Mr. Parisi: offthemark/2010/08/18

Double stuffed with extra feathers!

Kitty better eats the real theeng than overprocessed packaged poisons.

I would have thought a Three mousekateers bar!

If they are treat sized or come with gravy, my cats might , maybe, be tempted.

Some cats just like to eat the “fluffy” filling.

[All-natural flavoring used.]

I miss Hydrox. Hydrox was actually the original chocolate sandwich cookie, made by Sunshine Biscuits in 1908. Sunshine was acquired by Keebler in 1996 and discontinued the cookie in 1999. Keebler was later acquired by Kellogg’s, which sold the cookie line and rights to the Keebler name to Ferrero, which reintroduced the Hydrox cookie by Leaf Brands. [It is available on Amazon for an extremely high price per ounce.]

Oreo was created by Nabisco in 1912 as an imitation of Hydrox. However, people somehow got the idea that Hydrox was the imitator. Kraft acquired the cookie when it merged with Nabisco in 2000; and, in 2012, it became part of Mondelez International when Kraft Foods renamed itself. [Kraft’s North American non-snack grocery business continues is Kraft Foods Group which became Kraft Heinz in 2015]. Mondelez also owns a lot of other snack brands [e.g., Chips Ahoy, Cadbury, Ritz, Trident, Chiclets, Tang, Belvita]. It’s really amazing and depressing that so many ‘competing brands’ are actually owned by the same company. And Mondelez isn’t even in the top 3 — those are Nestle, PepsiCo, and Kraft Heinz.

The difference between the two cookies? Hydrox cookies have a less sweet filling and a crunchier cookie shell that is less soggy when dipped in milk. And, since the 1990s, Oreos have been tweaked to ensure that they are cookies for everyone — they contain no animal products or trans fat and are kosher-certified. However, since they are still manufactured in factories with other products which contain dairy, etc. cross-contamination is a slight possibility.

I have never understood why they don’t have mouse flavored cat food.

hey, I wonder if my moms cat would like that? :D

Pull it apart to get to the gooey center.

I can see this as the beginning of a Tigers/Orioles campaign.

I thought of “Baltimore Oreos” as a kid.

Mmmmm…chocolate chirp cookies.

Those are for house cats. The feral cats can get their own. They do quite well at it…

They’re twistable!

looks like it should be in Wacky Packages
