Trends Reviews and Recaps

The front page of today’s Philadelphia Inquirer teases an article in the business section of the paper (“Drought’s Effect Hurts Commercial Bakeries”) with this:

Made with sugar, shortening, and a whole lot of love

(And apparently a little bit of flour gets in there too)

[Post-publication addendum: Professor Pinkerton writes, “‘Oreos: Candy or baked good?’ Now we know.”]
