 Huge Boycott Over Oreo's Rainbow-Stuffed Cookies? http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/20 ... s-boycott/Wow, read the majority of these comments. They are disgusting. So many ignorant people. A lot of people seem to think they are selling rainbow cookies in the store or something (not that I myself wouldn't love to try one). Oreo just came out in support of pride month with a picture of a rainbow cookie on their Facebook. Now so many pledge to never buy Oreo/Kraft products again. Ridiculous! Makes me want to go buy them in support.

Re: Huge Boycott Over Oreo's Rainbow-Stuffed Cookies I'm tired of all this hysteria.
It's just a cookie with rainbow colored filling. That's it.

Re: Huge Boycott Over Oreo's Rainbow-Stuffed Cookies A few bitchy Facebook comments is a "huge boycott"?

Re: Huge Boycott Over Oreo's Rainbow-Stuffed Cookies The comments I'm talking about though aren't even from Facebook. All of the articles on it have tons of comments, the majority being negative. They could possibly see a big dent in sales.

Re: Huge Boycott Over Oreo's Rainbow-Stuffed Cookies This won't affect the company in any significant way.  You can't see Internet comments as an exact reflection of real life. Such an article brings out two extremes--the extreme religious right, the extreme liberals--who are deeply invested in this conversation on a day-to-day basis. Kraft products are sold around the world. 99.99999% of people will be never conscious of this, let alone say, "Oh, Kraft supports gay pride? I'm never eating Oreos, Nabisco, A1, Ritz, Jell-O, Tombstone pizzas, etc. ever again!" _________________"No piece of art is worth a human life."T R A N C E

Re: Huge Boycott Over Oreo's Rainbow-Stuffed Cookies I'd be willing to bet that some of those crazies think they'd turn gay if they ate that big gay Oreo. Since that's how we recruit now, through vegetable oil and food coloring.

Re: Huge Boycott Over Oreo's Rainbow-Stuffed Cookies? Oreo cookies are not good anyway. On the cookie list they do not even crack the top twenty and are somewhere near Thin Mints, the Girl Scout cookie everyone who never purchases Girl Scout cookies claims to love.
Give me a Tagalong or chocolate chip any day.
As for being rainbow stuffed, I could care less one way or the other.
