Hi Spica,

I read your comment about Oreos and was curious about where you were from. I was right that you were not from America. Well Oreos are two chocolate cookies with cream almost like frosting in the middle. They are very good and highly addictive, you cant just eat one. If you ever come across one you should def try it.
