Oreo’s New Tweet Has Got Dubai Folks Riled Up And Is Raising Many Red Flags
On Friday the 13th Oreo tweeted an ad for their Oreo cookies that was just as creepy as the date itself and the tweet is going viral for all the WRONG reasons.
Oreo which is a widely POPULAR sandwich cookie brand had tweeted a picture of crushed Oreos in the middle of a book (being used as a bookmark) being dunked with milk… but like… why?
Well, it’s not hard to guess that the tweet by the best-seller cookie brand had riled up many netizens online and they were questioning the purpose of this ad with legit chucklesome gifs and memes. This is why we love the internet.

First, they waste food, then they waste books. This ain’t right
This is utter rubbish in the name of 'social media *outrage-worthy* content' meant to rack up vanity metrics. Thank you, @randomhouse for calling out this nonsense. I see that @Oreo has moved from 'dunking in the dark' to just being 'in the dark'. pic.twitter.com/Z1lK6h96dL
