Oreos are bursting onto the scene here in Bulgaria.  I like an oreo as much as the next girl but the whole thing is kind of sad too. Is nothing sacred? Can't a girl go anywhere without being bombarded by images of American consumerism and obesity?

Here's the thing, all of the signs advertising Oreos are all about teaching Bulgarians how to enjoy the cookie. Yep, this knowledge is being transmitted via billboards, commercials and construction sites.

And frankly I was more interested in how big the advertising is than the instructions: Twist, lick, dunk.

This is the point where I feel the need to make some strangely colonist remark--something to the effect of here we are bringing light, wisdom and the oreo to the unknowing masses in Bulgaria. Aren't they lucky?

Now they have the oreo and they know what to do with it!

Thank-god.

But double-stuffed?! That's going to blow their minds.
