Snip Snap Needs some Milk with That. |
So what’s next? (I think I
know!) Introducing “Cringles”, the
cheaper yet “Better” version of
Pringles. (Umm, I think the fun JUST STOPPED.) I’m just kidding, but it is a bit shocking to see a cookie OF ALL THINGS being counterfeited. Most
counterfeiters replicate shoes, clothing, or jewelry, but a COOKIE? (Back to the Borios.) I wonder if “Borio” branded cookies even taste good? Maybe they taste BETTER than Oreos AND they grant wishes for each cookie eaten. (Cricket, Cricket and there goes the Tumbleweed.) Borios tasting “Better” than Oreos is about as true as the company that invented them.
(But what about the WISHES???) Listen to the names “Borios” and “Oreos”,
don’t you think it’s kind of funny that both names rhyme like that? (Remember my Cringles example?) Even if
the names rhyming are a coincidence, look at the logos from each brand. (Umm, what’s wrong?) Borios and Oreos have
the same distinctive blue and white lettering for their logos and that CAN’T be a "coincidence". This makes me WISH that SOMEBODY could catch these counterfeiters. (I guess I ate a BORIO!!!)
The USDA has a pretty good record when it comes to managing knockoff
products from other countries, but the full extent of the problem is STILL
unknown. (Dom, Dom, DOMMM!!!) There could be hundreds or even thousands of other foods being counterfeited. (Umm, are my crackers real?) In fact, USDA
has confiscated plenty of knockoff food/beverage products of major food brands
like Frito Lay, Kraft, and Kelloggs just
to name a few. (Spoiler Alert!) In a
future story, I actually report on on counterfeit Coca Cola products. (When will they STOPPP?!!!) This whole “Borio Incident” is a good reminder that
ALL imported products, including
foods, can’t always be trusted. (That’s
an UNDERSTATEMENT!) Let’s hope that USDA keeps up enforcement on ALL
COUNTERFIETS including foods/beverages.
