Could Oreo bits in bird droppings lead to Oreo trees across the land?

Oh, cabaker, I can only imagine the effect the oreos would have on the bird "decorations" that they drop from the sky!

OMG I LOVE Oreos! Maybe the birds can eat them if they just pushed them to the side of the road... then we'll have birds that are too obese to fly!

It's been years since I had an Oreo. I wonder how many people stopped to pick up some.

I was in that traffic jam this morning!!! I had no idea it was oreo related or I wouldn't have been so grouchy about being late for work.

Nooooo!!!!!!! I LOVE Double Stuff Oreos. They are so bad for you, but once every 6 months I throw caution to the wind and have some. No regular Oreos, it has to be Double Stuff. It is so tragic that they are smooshed into the road!

All of those Oreos ® clogging our nation's arteries. No wonder we have an obesity problem.

This mess would be cleaned up in a jiffy, if the mil truck would ever get there ;)

Well, they were Double Stuf. I'm sure that made it twice as bad.
