I Got a Comment

That title there was the catch phrase for a radio show that used to be on in the car in the mornings when I was being driven to I think preschool in Georgia. I have no memory of any more of the show, just that--I can hear the intonation precisely--"I got a comment."

Another thing I remember clearly from my childhood is Oreos. We almost always had them in our cookie jar, and I definitely have a comment about those. 

I do not think the Oreos now have as much of the creme filling in them. At all. In fact, I have children who prefer the "Double Stuf"* Oreos, and so I buy those fairly frequently. This has given me the opportunity to note that what are considered double now would have been a regular Oreo in my childhood.

I mean, take a look at this, an actual "Double Stuf" Oreo.


There's barely anything in the middle of this! 

I never liked the double ones because they had so much of the creme filling that it grossed me out. But now I prefer them, because the regular Oreos have hardly any.

I don't have a good memory for a lot of things, but I'm pretty sure I'm right about this one.

Anyone else want to weigh in? Have you noticed this?

* Wow, do I hate that single F.
