Come On Oreos People Get it Together

We have a few Only Murders in the Building fans in my office so when I saw these in Wegman's I got a kick outta bringing them in to pass around, but now I'm a little bit dafuck: why would you put the number of cookies being an official serving at 2? This box sat on my desk for two days and the whole time I only had one cookie, partly because I was kinda “whatever" about the cookie itself but also because I kept seeing that big fat number 140, which just seemed like too many calories for a "whatever" cookie. It wasn’t until just now I see that the number of calories for one cookie are exactly HALF of what I thought it was, thanks to the note that the serving size is TWO cookies being as-seemingly-easy-to-miss-as-possible...why? Either make it VERY obvious a serving size is 2 cookies or just show the much-less-jarring number of calories for the one cookie, 70! 😡😡😡😡


And of course it turns out that when you DO peer that close to a bag of Oreos, things start sounding a little sexier than maybe the Oreos people intended.
