I have a theory about the name. You said the packaging was gold at first so maybe they got the name from "ore" + "o," which is the shape of the cookie. An ore o. At least they aren't as hard as gold--unless maybe they're past the expiration date. :) And to answer your question, I still love my paperbacks, although I have a feeling I may one day have to make the shift to ebooks so I can enlarge the font and don't hurt my hands and wrists holding a book for hours on end.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-70269818087604806332015-08-16T10:51:19.669-04:002015-08-16T10:51:19.669-04:00Of course I am throwing in my hat.

There's original, wheat, low fat, low sodium, and who knows what else. And the packaging is almost the same on some of them.<br /><br />Coke. Classic Coke. Coke Zero. Has using the same basic name for something only become popular the last 10-15 years? lol Sounds like another great HHH blog post. :)Pam Hillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604636348596615139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-73971883464413817612015-08-16T10:08:15.659-04:002015-08-16T10:08:15.659-04:00Isn't it exciting, Connie?
