Kraft Foods, the makers of Oreo Cookies, have stepped into the debate against traditional marriage. They have now turned an Oreo Cookie into a rainbow stack in a picture that was shown on the company's Facebook page. The picture of the rainbow Oreo is accompanied by the word "pride."
America's favorite cookie is stirring up more than milk today after Kraft Foods posted a gay pride Oreo on the cookie's Facebook page.
Oreo posted the photoshopped picture of an Oreo cookie stuffed with rainbow-colored layers of frosting Monday evening with the caption "Proudly support love!"
Basil Maglaris, a spokeswoman for Oreo's parent company Kraft Foods, said in a statement that the image was part of a "series of daily ads reflecting current events in a fun way using images of OREO cookies and milk." Kraft is not planning to sell the rainbow-stuffed Oreo in stores, Maglaris said, as it was created solely for the advertising campaign in honor of Pride month.
"We are excited to illustrate what is making history today in a fun and playful way," she said in an email to ABC News. "As a company, Kraft Foods has a proud history of celebrating diversity and inclusiveness. We feel the OREO ad is a fun reflection of our values."

Of course just LOOKING at that much creme filling makes my teeth hurt … but I think Nabisco could easily come up with a thick but similarly rainbow-layered filling, and market those cookies every June in conjunction with LGBT Pride Month. They would be FLYING off the grocery store shelves! I would sure be buying them, and I virtually NEVER buy cookies.

This isn’t a sodomite dating site. Go back into the closet.
June 27, 2012 @ 12:55 pm
Well, I love Oreos. They’re great cookies but I have purchased my last Oreo until they disavow this ridiculous gay cookie campaign. In fact, all Nabisco cookies are off my shopping list.
I urge all correct thinking people to do likewise. No more Oreos, no more Nabisco cookies unless and until they admit this is just plain stupid.
June 27, 2012 @ 6:16 pm
But he is right. They would sell like hotcakes. How fast do hotcakes sell?
June 27, 2012 @ 7:19 pm
Comment by younggrandmah2b Those folks cant help it they were creatted by God. He would be ashamed of you talking about his children that way. Infact your grand children would be ashamed of you for being Prejudice.

Goodness, like it or not, going to start eating healthier, thanks to the food producers going with the gay crowd. Seems that support of the general straight populace would be enough without making announcements of gay support. Goodbye Oreo!
June 28, 2012 @ 11:57 am
add the makers of cheerios to that list also.
political correctness run a muk.
June 27, 2012 @ 8:20 am
Public entities, Armies, GOVERNMENTS, etc. should not be taking stances on Human Sexuality.
I’m going to check this out myself. If it’s true, no more Oreo’s. And, my family doing so is probably going to break the bank.
June 27, 2012 @ 8:22 am
There will NEVER be anymore Oreos in my house!
June 27, 2012 @ 12:52 pm
Might as well boycott Kraft while I am boycotting General Mills, JC Penney, Starbucks, etc. When will they ever learn to stop making political statements to their detriment?
June 28, 2012 @ 10:11 am
Yes, no more Kraft, General Mills, JCP, Starbucks, Home Depot and don’t forget Target now too! It’s really sickening to see these companies promote an abomination.
June 27, 2012 @ 8:31 am
Yeah no more Oreo’s in my house. In fact nothing Kraft makes is coming in my house. next stop http://kraftfoods.custhelp.com/ to tell them what I think!
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW! ! ! ! !
June 27, 2012 @ 8:48 am
Who will this colorful product appeal to?
That’s right, kids.
LGBT and Kraft have teamed up to attract children.
June 27, 2012 @ 12:59 pm
Excellent point. Be sure not to buy any more Oreos for the kids and while you’re at it don’t buy Kraft Macaroni and Cheese either.
June 27, 2012 @ 9:43 am
Gays make up roughly 1.4 % of population of almost 400 million , yet every day we are subjected to the idea that we are keeping this large group of people down , all this for 1.4 % really , I will never buy another Oreo cookie again
June 27, 2012 @ 12:52 pm
I thought it was .666 %.
June 27, 2012 @ 7:22 pm
Was that sopost to be funny.
June 27, 2012 @ 7:30 pm
Was that supposed to be a question? Questions need question marks. I sopost so. Was your post supost to be funny?
June 27, 2012 @ 8:20 pm
No it was sopost to make you shut the **** up.
June 27, 2012 @ 8:28 pm
Didn’t work, now did it? petey
June 27, 2012 @ 8:35 pm
How do you sleep at night knowing that gay kids and gay adults are suffering because they are being tormented by people like you and by you.
June 27, 2012 @ 8:37 pm
Pretty dang good, thank you!
June 27, 2012 @ 10:09 am
I have to wonder if the National Organization for Marriage, OneMillionMoms, and all the other anti-Gay organizations are using Microsoft products to help promote their boycotts of Nabisco, Starbucks, J.C. Penney, etc.
June 27, 2012 @ 10:21 am
I HOPE SO!
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW! ! ! ! !
June 27, 2012 @ 2:46 pm
I’m not anti gay, I’m anti hearing about it! I no more want to hear about your sexual practice then you want to hear about me and my woman enjoying heterosexual (natural) sex.
June 27, 2012 @ 7:31 pm
nametabs No matter what kind of sex people have it is natural. Even if it is between two men, two women, or man and a woman or in some cases even more than two people. not even in what way or position it is in.
June 27, 2012 @ 7:45 pm
nametab
Your point has just been proven.
Whatever, not even in what way or position it is in, means.
June 27, 2012 @ 8:18 pm
Sex is natural and always be natural. Not just between men and women.
June 27, 2012 @ 8:22 pm
Thats not relitive to the conversation.
June 27, 2012 @ 8:30 pm
As relevant as a lie that people are born gay. Homo sex is an action, not a condition.
June 27, 2012 @ 8:44 pm
The corect term is Homosexual intercourse. Any sex is an action, no sexual desire is a condition. it is a choice.
June 27, 2012 @ 9:01 pm
You got it right, whew. Action, choice!
“Knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,”
—1 Timothy 1:9-10 (NKJV)
June 27, 2012 @ 10:34 am
This is not about Oreo cookies it is about Kraft foods. Kraft foods is using an advertising campaign to show it’s support for Gay Pride month. If you want to boycott and or complain it should be all Kraft food products and the complaints should go to http://kraftfoods.custhelp.com/ and then click on send us an email.
Again this is about Kraft foods.
June 27, 2012 @ 10:41 am
You didn’t read my first comment. I posted the same link you are now posting.
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW! ! ! !
June 27, 2012 @ 11:49 am
I guess the fudge-packed Oreo ad wasn’t obvious enough.
June 27, 2012 @ 12:25 pm
That’s not really a milk mustache, is it?
June 27, 2012 @ 1:02 pm
Oreo cookies are stuffed with Santorum.
June 27, 2012 @ 1:12 pm
What is wrong with these corporate idiots? Homosexuals are only 1.7 percent of the population. They are not going to affect sales that much. All Kraft and others who are promoting homosexuality are doing is pissing off the majority who do purchase their products.
June 27, 2012 @ 2:33 pm
Even though my little child is very limited in what store bought cookies she can eat due to food allergies, Oreos being one of the few, we will not be bringing Oreos into our home. Going shopping is getting limited…no Starbucks, no Target, no JC Penney’s, etc.
Why these companies feel it is more important to pander to a tiny fragment of society and abandon families and the majority of the citizens is beyond me. Well, the good thing is we’ll be saving money and eating healthier!
June 27, 2012 @ 7:37 pm
They can improve there profit center anyway they choose. And I support there motive to up their return to the stock holder.
June 27, 2012 @ 2:58 pm
General Mills did the same thing. These companies should stay out of politics.
June 27, 2012 @ 7:02 pm
I for one, am totally sick of having this phaggot krap pushed in my face. Television and movies, schools, libtard news, politicians, and of course the dolts that USED to make the food I eat. Don’t care if I have to start eating trees, I will NOT spend a cent with the fruitcake promoting companies.
June 27, 2012 @ 7:40 pm
Go live in the forest and eat trees… dont come back!
June 28, 2012 @ 10:48 am
You are exactly right effwinger! Most sane, moral people are sick of this perverted stuff being forced on us continually. They were supposed to “just wanted to be treated fairly”….that’s a lie! They want everyone to be brainwashed, including our children, to this abomination. The now have “hate crimes” and “bullying” in schools all to push their agenda on everyone. What they really need is some Psychiatric help ( it used to be listed as a mental illness…..which it still is).
June 27, 2012 @ 8:13 pm
Come on folks, boycotting never solved anything It’s Stupid! You don’t like it when gays boycot conservative things ie Target, Wendys, Coors etc. I’m a gay Conservative. A Log Cabin Republican and I want Obama gone. The liberals pandered to the unions & got the union vote, they pandered to gays & got the gay vote (sexuality knows No Political Party) now they are pandering to the poor and are getting their vote. When will the Republicans wake up?????????????
June 28, 2012 @ 1:11 pm
I think you might want to move Target to the liberal column since they just gave $122K to a “Marriage Equality” group through sales of Pride T-shirts.
July 2, 2012 @ 4:06 pm
Hey haven’t you heard? Boycotting is the American way! Remember the Boston Tea Party? That is our history…It all started with an unfair practice that the people disagreed with, so they boycotted, then they threw the tea into the harbor. I want to live a quiet and peaceable life but I am not allowed to because every company and T.V. show tries to shove sin down my throat. If you want to live that way it is between you and God but please don’t tell me I have to help support it. God loves you! John 3:16 and 17
June 27, 2012 @ 10:46 pm
Well, I guess it’s time to make a list of companies like Kraft, JC Penney, The Homo Depot, etc.. and just do not give them any more of my money. . . If it gets too inclusive, I’ll go organic and grow my own. . .If enough people actually do what they say, these companies WILL change their tune, but it has to be a coordinated effort. . .I’m sick and tired of this stuff, are you ? . . . So how about it people, will you join me ?
June 28, 2012 @ 2:27 pm
Kraft is not planning to sell the rainbow-stuffed Oreo in stores, Maglaris said, as it was created solely for the advertising campaign in honor of Pride month.
“We are excited to illustrate what is making history today in a fun and playful way,” she said in an email to ABC News.
Even if I WERE gay and even if I DID BELIEVE that homosexuals have a right to marriage or whatever…..that would still be a wildly offensive statement. We can honestly disagree about whether or not homosexuality is right, wrong, or otherwise…but I’m pretty sure that people on both sides of the issue find something so serious to them being referred to in a “fun and playful way” as just demeaning to the entire issue and the people involved with it.
Dear Kraft Foods….GROW UP!
June 28, 2012 @ 3:00 pm
I don’t understand why anyone would have a problem with anyone trying to advertize goods and services. I personally like commerce, more people buy, the more people get employed. In the end everyone’s money is green, the markets don’t care where the money comes from.
June 28, 2012 @ 3:38 pm
That’s understandable and you don’t really need to.
June 28, 2012 @ 4:03 pm
Matthew K It’s obvious you don’t understand the difference between advertizing a product and advertizing an agenda. This is about pushing the gay agenda and making money while they do it.
