\"Limited<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Salt-N-Pepa got pissed when baby-pop didn’t make it fast when giving them a kiss and I think Santa will be just as upset when he finds out some poor kid left out Limited Edition Peppermint Creme Oreo cookies for him this Christmas Eve. <\/p>\n

I can imagine what will happen and I think it’ll be a Christmas story that will be shared for generations.<\/p>\n

Twas the night before Christmas and Santa made his way down into another home.
\nOver his shoulders were his big bag of Christmas gifts and bigger bag of coal.
\nIn this household, no kids were naughty so they’ll all get gifts from Saint Nick.
\nOh, wait! Santa checked his list twice and it appears little Timmy was a little dick.<\/p>\n

After the presents were stuffed in their appropriate stockings above the fireplace,
\nSanta saw his obligatory cookies and milk on a coffee table next to an empty vase.
\nAs he walked closer to the treats left out for him, his face began to radiate with glee.
\nHe let out a soft squee and then said, “Looks like Nabisco made another Oreo variety.” <\/p>\n

“Enjoy these Limited Edition Peppermint Oreos,” said the note left with the snack.
\nSanta said, “I will,” and then prepared himself to dive into the cookies that are black.
\nSo he grabbed the glass of milk and poured the liquid into the empty vase on the table.
\nThere’s no way Santa trusts any milk sitting out for hours, even if it’s shelf-stable.<\/p>\n

Santa picked up a Peppermint Oreo cookie and noticed the pink colored creme.
\nHe thought the color was off and wished the cookie had a red and black color scheme.
\nHe was also sad the chocolate cookies didn’t have festive imprints that warm his soul.
\nLike snowflakes, snowmen, or the depressed face of a child who received a lump of coal.<\/p>\n

Before Santa tried the new Oreo flavor, he looked around to see if anyone was spying.
\nAfter scanning the room a few times, he noticed two pairs of children’s eyes prying.
\nSanta released an annoyed sigh as he reached into a coat pocket to pull out magic dust.
\nHe had to blow it towards the curious children to prevent them from making a fuss.<\/p>\n

The children’s eyes got heavy and their memories got cloudy thanks to the magic glitter.
\nWhen they became unconscious, Santa erased their memories using some transmitter.
\nHe then walked over to the stockings of the children lying unconscious on the ground,
\nand replaced the gifts he was going to give them with lumps of coal, about a pound.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Santa could now enjoy a Peppermint Oreo cookie, which he hoped would be fulfilling.
\nSo he picked one up, twisted off the top chocolate cookie, and licked the creme filling.
\nWhile sampling the pink creme, he said, “This tastes like something I’ve had in the past.”
\nAfter putting the cookie back together and eating it whole, his jolly face turned aghast.<\/p>\n

“Blitzen!” Santa yelled while also spraying chocolate cookie crumbs across the room.
\n“Peppermint Oreos should taste different than Candy Cane Oreos<\/a>,” he verbally assumed.
\nSanta was sick of Candy Cane Oreos because kids have been putting them out for years.
\nHe hoped this year things would be different, but the familiar flavor didn’t ease his fears.<\/p>\n

Oh, by the way, Blitzen is considered profanity at the North Pole, it basically means “shit.”
\nAnd, yes, it’s named after the laziest and most worthless reindeer, Santa will admit.
\nBlitzen got his name because he’s a lush and with other reindeer he doesn’t get along.
\nAnd now you know why his name is said last in the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer song.<\/p>\n

Santa felt the two Oreo flavors tasted the same, even though there are some differences.
\nCandy Cane Oreo having half white creme and crunchy sprinkles are such instances.
\nBut to Santa those didn’t matter because when you eat thousands of cookies in one night,
\nflavor matters the most, so it’s wrong for Nabisco to make two Oreo cookies that taste alike.<\/p>\n

But Santa liked both Candy Cane and Peppermint Oreos even if they tasted the same.
\nThankfully, the creme was made using peppermint oil; artificial flavoring is lame.
\nSanta thought the Limited Edition Peppermint Oreos have a minty flavor that’s tight.
\nThey’re like Thin Mints, which he thinks more kids should put out on pre-Christmas night.<\/p>\n

While Santa was disappointed Peppermint Oreos tasted similar to Candy Cane Oreos,
\nwhat he discovered next about them really turned his HO HO HO’s into NO NO NO’s.
\nA package of Peppermint Oreos has one-third less cookies than a package of regular ones.
\nThis infuriated Santa and now he was looking to visit Nabisco and kick some Nabisco buns.<\/p>\n

So he flew up the chimney to set off in his sled to Nabisco Headquarters in New Jersey.
\nThanks to a drunk Blitzen delaying them, there was no time to kick ass; they had to hurry.
\nSanta yelled, “Blitzen! Take a Blitzen on Nabisco,” and the reindeer did what he was told.
\nThen as they flew off to deliver the rest of the presents, Santa let out a loud, “HO HO HO!”<\/p>\n
