Happy 100th Birthday Oreo!

Tuesday was Oreo's 100th birthday!! The company was founded on March 6, 1912 in Chelsea, New York City. The cookie sandwich, formerly known as "America's Favorite Cookie" and now known as "Milk's Favorite Cookie", was a highlight of my early 90's childhood. Oh yeah, Oreo and I go all the way back to the days of Tang. The chocolate cookie with vanilla cream in the middle was a delightful treat morning, noon, or night. I enjoyed mine while reading comic books.

Then there was that awkward moment my mom called me downstairs to reprimand me for my sporadic theft of a cookie or two...or three from her stash. Apparently I hadn't thought that she would notice the dwindling amount in her container.

Over the years, Oreo has gone through many variations, flavors, and sizes including holiday varieties and festive colors. A century of a delicious cookie. Yum. I can't wait to
see what the next 100 years hold! 

Yo-Yo-Yummy

I have stumbled upon a yummy and nutritious treat! YoCrunch® vanilla yogurt cups are lowfat and contain active cultures.

The YoCrunch cookie and candy variety has Oreo®, M&M's®, Reese's®, Crunch Bar®, and Butterfinger® pieces to add; some with strawberries as well. I initially tried Oreo® but I find M&M to be my favorite thus far. I was worried the minis would get soggy in the yogurt, but they remain crunchy the whole time! Yum. While I cannot partake in the Butterfinger and Reese's deliciousness due to allergies, I'm sure they are yummy as well. There are also YoCrunch granola, parfait, and pie parfait flavors: apple, cherry and triple berry. 100 calorie packs excite your tastebuds with cheesecake and chocolate chip cookies.

Whether for an on-the-go breakfast, snack, or dessert, YoCrunch makes for a delicious treat and come in 6 oz. cups or 4 oz. four packs. My only suggestion is to increase the amount of candy bits for the 6 oz. size cups of YoCrunch.

However, it's just another reason to purchase a bag of M&M's Minis®. ;)

See yocrunch.com for more details.


**UPDATE: While YoCrunch® is super delicious and yummy, the price isn't as cost effective as I would like considering the fact I try to maintain a yogurt a day diet. So I've opted for a big tub of Kroger vanilla yogurt and a large bag of M&M's Minis®. But "yay!" YoCrunch®!
