The Rainbow Oreo Comes To Life

Oreo, in support of gay pride, recently posted a rainbow version of their cookie on Facebook. It unsurprisingly polarized the cookie-eating community, while also creating demand for a six-layer Oreo. It was only a matter of time until the Photoshop version just wouldn’t do — so Instructables member Carleyy broke out the food coloring and dental floss, and made it happen.

Although Nabisco has not yet mentioned plans to make a Rainbow Oreo available to the masses — this one-off is a step in the right direction. Now we wait.

The Rainbow Oreo Supports Gay Pride, Polarizes Cookie-Eating Community

Recently, in support of gay pride, Oreo posted The Rainbow Oreo to their Facebook page. Unsurprisingly, the fictional cookie did more than just make us yearn for six layers of spectral filling — but it created a swell of support for gay rights, and outraged some cookie-eating homophobes.

Seen in the comment section of Oreo’s Facebook post, those against Oreo’s stance have either ‘unliked’ Oreos, or have gone so far as to threaten to never buy any Nabisco products again. No worries, it just means more Rainbow Oreos for the rest of us, if Nabisco ever actually produces them.

Although, at the time of this writing — 154,078 people ‘liked’ this post, and have shared it 40,362 times.

UPDATE: It was only a matter of time, but someone made a real one.

Lickable Wallpaper Exists

Created by Mischief PR and McVitie’s, Lickable Wallpaper has been installed in the elevator at Engine, a London-based communications company. The elevator — or ‘lift’ as they call it — is cookie-flavored and consists of 1,325 McVitie’s Jaffa Cookies. Employees are encouraged to hurry and get a lick before they crash through the ceiling and fly over town.

And for those concerned that they might be licking a ‘used’ one — once sampled, the cookie is removed by an attendant [please say he’s short and orange].

Behold The Giant Oreo

If you couldn’t already tell, The Giant Oreo is brought to us by Pimp That Snack! We’re not sure to what scale the giant sandwich cookie actually is, or how its calorie count compares to an actual Oreo — but it’s pretty darn big and awesome. Fill up a vase of milk and make one for yourself — instructions here.

This Cookie is Old, Expensive

A cookie — one that isn’t even double-stuffed or ninja-shaped, mind you — recently sold at auction for £1,250 (about $1949). Originally made for explorer Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition in 1907-1909, the ‘cookie’ is actually a milk biscuit made by Huntley & Palmers. Something tells me that the snow would have tasted better.

My suggestion would be, to put an Oreo Triple Double in a safe place. If this auction is any indication, in 104 years that Oreo will be worth about 32-billion dollars.
