And I'll just bet that they would not have to be labeled as such...with all the shenanigans that Congress has pushed about no labels.
Really Nabisco? You couldn't price gouge enough so you move production so you can make even more money?

I was going to get them for my kids, who would have appreciated them, but I passed.
I noticed that the price of Oreos has dropped a bit. They've been on sale more than usual.
Perhaps people aren't buying as much, due to this move to Mexico?
