Shanah Tovah: Finally A Northeastern Jew And A Southern Methodist Church Can Agree On Something!

Christian Post- A church in Georgia has recently collected over five tons of Oreos, which were shipped overseas to members of the United States Armed Forces.
Alpharetta First United Methodist Church collected 5.6 tons of the beloved cookies in an annual charitable endeavor called "Operation Oreo."
"We collect the Oreos during the month of June and conclude Operation Oreo at the patriotic Sunday worship service that is held on the Sunday before July 4. Immediately following that service, we pack up the Oreos," said Allain.
"The next couple of days we receive cookie donations collected by fellow United Methodist churches in the North Georgia Conference of the UMC. And by that Wednesday, the cookies are sent to the post office. We have already gotten thank you notes and photos of soldiers who received the Oreos this year."
In the letter, Martin recalled a plane trip he had in February of that year wherein he sat next to a young soldier who served in Iraq whose primary mission was defusing bombs.
"'What did you miss most while you were in Iraq?' I asked. 'Oreos, Double Stuf!!!' was his quick reply," wrote Martin.

     About time we can agree on something!  Before it was all "You're going to hell for being a heathen!"  and me replying "Yeah well at least I can control Hollywood until I die early!"  But the verdict is out that Oreos are awesome and our brave men and women overseas deserve all the Oreos they want.

     Let's do the math on this quick.  5.6 tons of Oreos.  A box of regular Oreos weighs 14.3oz.  That's over 12,500 boxes of Oreos.  There are 45 cookies per box.  That's over 563,000 cookies.  Holy shit!  I don't think I could eat that much in my lifetime, and I'm a degenerate piece of shit.

     Also, someone get me the name of that soldier who misses Oreos.  I'd be happy to give him a list of recommendations on what else to miss while he's risking his life.  And when he gets back instead of buying him a beer, I'll buy him a box of Oreos.  Just not Red Velvets or Brownie Batter.

PS- Shanah Tovah means happy new year.  It's Rosh Hashanah!
