Kraft food & family has done it again. You might recall the insult that was Island Jerk Chicken, now this week’s new letter has a call for:
The Kraft Kitchens need you! Share your best snack solutions using Oreos or Planters, plus 2 or 3 other ingredients. Your snack could be featured in our next issue.
What the heck is a “snack solution“? Is there a snack problem? Wouldn’t just “snacks” be enough? World hunger, that is something that needs a solution. You know, if you’re living in a country torn by civil war and ravished by drought, you’ve got a real problem that could use a solution. Being peckish and wanting some tarted up Oreos is just a sign that you are a spoiled Westerner who could stand to put down the cookie box and walk around the block instead.
Even worse, the prize is getting your “recipe” featured in Kraft food & family. If snacking is a problem in need of a solution then I think I deserve some cash for solving it. If I remember, I will be sure to report back on the winning entries.
I was in a bad mood anyway because I also go an email from an online merchant who’d lost my order. Good news, they’ll return my money – if I want the stuff, I’ll have to make a new order, but I can email them the order number and they’ll expedite it. Bad news, it was signed like this:
Thanx…Red heart emoticon <–this is what it said, I guess my email couldn’t display the actual heart emoticon. I don’t know if this makes it better or worse.
I do not think I will be resubmitting the order, there is something about hot pink slang and red heart emoticons that does not inspire my confidence.

You may or may not find my snack solution featured in the next Kraft rag.
Ingredients:
Oreos
Bananas
Recipe steps:
Throw oreos in rubbish bin.
Peel and eat bananas.
Tell us why this recipe is the best:
Because it is actually food.
I’d rather have a Kraft recipe solution than a snack solution. I do like some of their recipes, but I never seem to have enough Catalina dressing and/or chocolate pudding mix on hand.
You should refer your online merchant to Emily Post. I think I’m going to archive the phrase, ‘tarted up Oreos’ for future use. That there is a keeper. Wink Emoticon
