At the end of their email form, they give a phone number. I called it and REALLY let a customer service rep know what they need to do. Nabisco needs to GET RID of all the OREO and Chips Ahoy varieties, and bring REAL diversity back to the cookie aisle.The text of the email is as follows: I know of 4 cookies you need to bring BACK!!!!! The first is the IDEAL Peanut Butter Bars. They're EVEN BETTER than OREO cookies. They were FAR BETTER than ANY peanut cookie and/or candy bar available today, INCLUDING the Nutter Butter cookies you make today. I love the taste of peanut butter and chocolate and the IEDAL cookies are the reason why. When we wanted peanut butter and chocolate at my house when I was a kid in the '60s and '70s, these are what we ALWAYS got. I never even had a Reese's peanut butter cup until I was out of high school because of these bars. Even the Girl Scout peanut butter sandwich cookies at the time, the Savannahs didn't compare, and they were my favorite Girl Scout cookie. You also need to bring back the Lemon Cooler and Cherry Cooler cookies! They were a tart, refreshing treat in the hot summer desert heat of Las Vegas. I've been to a large number of websites and forums where these are mentioned the most. Lots of people WANT these cookies back in production!!! You also need to bring back the Famous Cookie Assortment. They were great to have on hand whenever company came over. It was fun watching everyone scramble, grab, and nearly fight over who was going to get the Bisco's sugar wafers. They, too, were far superior to ANYTHING available today!!!! If you are determined to continue to refuse to bring these superior products back into production, then at least make the recipes for them available to the people who love them and grew up on them, people like me. If I have to bake them myself in order to enjoy them again, I DON'T MIND, because it would be worth the time in the kitchen making them from scratch, by hand!!!!! The cookie aisles at the grocery store today are VERY dull and limited in what is offered for sale. Oreo's and Chips Ahoy are SHELF SPACE HOGS. You need more diversity than this to keep my business!!! I like having more choices than I get now. Over 70% of the cookie aisle from ALL cookie manufacturers is taken up by CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!! Who wants to go to the store for cookies and basically have only one choice???? I certainly DON'T, and my not buying cookies shows it!!!! Since Vintage and Retro (i.e. nostalgia) things are "In" right now. Bring the discontinued cookies I've spoken so passionately for back as a "Classic" or "Vintage" brand. They will SELL, SELL, SELL!!!! Also, consider licensing someone to make these cookies under your aegis. Something NEEDS to be done here!!! If I were the head of NABISCO, or your parent company, KRAFT, this would ALREADY HAVE BEEN DONE years ago!!!!!!
