Fried Oreo’s!

You already have plenty of examples of people using an apostrophe to make a noun plural, but I thought I’d give you one more.

This one comes from a vendor at the Newark Portuguese Festival in New Jersey.

Thanks, Jacki!

    Could this possibly be the only fried item one wouldn’t immediately wish to dip in Ranch dressing?

    wouldn’t oreos be spelled “oreoes?” thus the apostrophe is needed?

    …even if it did warrant an apostrophe, it would want a PROPER rounded one that matched the font, not that icky feet mark!
