The Oreo
This is a little bit out of left field for me, but I enjoyed this post by Ben Cohen, of Ben & Jerry's, over on The Huffington Post (via Shut Up Foodie) and you might, too. The one thing that really surprised me? That Ben Cohen didn't know that no way are Oreas ever, ever kosher. Who doesn't know that??? Growing up, it was all Hydrox all the time in our house.

but oreos don't have lard anymore! here's a fun piece about how they went kosher in '97: http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/feb08/kosher.oreos.jl.html
we too only had hydrox growing up. in fact, my first youthful rebellion involved buying a package of oreos and eating them in the shed in our backyard (so if God struck me down with lightning, I wouldn't take down my entire family and home).
Nice Move on the backyard! B/c of course the lightening was coming....
Still, I can't quite believe the big Os are kosher!
