It's probably easier to sell Winter Oreos in February than it is to sell Christmas Oreos then.

Mr Staten Island Ferry, you strike again you idiot racist. I've been following you a long time. Not by choice, but everytime I see the word white people in a question, I know its you. I wonder what white people question you will ask tomorrow, can't wait for yet another good laugh. Remember how last week you asked why white people thing they can use a credit card on your bus and you told us how you told the lady "You see a damn credit card machine"? Oh that was a classic. Maybe we should all just start reporting your questions and deleting them, your bad karma and racism is polluting the youngsters minds that use Y/A.

While many stores put up Christmas decorations the day after Christmas - most people aren't rushing to the store to buy Christmas stuff. In fact a significant percentage of the population is annoyed that stores pimp Christmas so early. Selling "Christmas Oreos" in late October isn't going to work so well. But since "Winter" is so much longer (and people associate cold weather with winter) people would be more likely to buy Winter Oreos from October through March.
It makes good business sense to me.
"Because people are trying to be political correct and so they are trying to do away with Christ in Christmas..... Dumb huh"
I AGREE, CHRIST WOULD HAVE WANTED THOSE OREO'S TO SELL AND HE WOULD HAVE WANTED THEM TO HAVE A PICTURE OF HIM ON IT! Oh wait, that's not right.

If Oreos had sold 'Christmas' cookies for 200 years until one guy in Oregon protested, and then they made the change to 'Winter' cookies amid much protest, we might have reason to look into the issue.

You haven't been on Y!A for a long time, have you?
Do you SEE how many different religions are out there besides the ones that celebrate Christmas??? I will inform you there are alot. Hence, everyone knows and/or deals with Winter, but not everyone celebrates Christmas.
Cheers.

Because Frosty the Snowman has nothing to do with Christmas. Frosty is completely secular.
Christmas isn't mentioned in the song "Frosty the Snowman", and if you can explain what a talking snowman with a magic hat has to do with the birth of Jesus, I'd love to hear it.

Why do Oreos have to have a Christmas theme? It isn't even Thanksgiving yet.
Hey Socko -- If you think failing to put a picture of Jesus on junk food is persecution, try going to a country where Christians are jailed & beaten for having bibles or assemling.
Can you give me a list of junk food packages that have Jewish or Muslim themed packaging ????? "Cuz I am really curious about your comment.

I love those ones.
Not everyone in the United States is Christian. "Winter" oreos can be sold way before or even after Christmas without seeming silly or outdated.
Besides, I don't think that Jesus would be pleased with people using his birthday for profit, do you?

They are trying to be politically correct.
I'll use Christmas and say Merry Christmas to Honor my Lord!
Even when we reach the point of being arrested for saying such things. Still I will follow the Lord!

I'm just as happy to not have a Nativity scene on packages of Oreos. It's a commercial business, not a religious business, so I say let them stick with secular imagery.
