Newman-O's facts for kids
Newman-O's are yummy sandwich cookies with a creamy filling. They are usually chocolate cookies with a white cream inside, just like many popular sandwich cookies. Newman's Own, a well-known company, makes and sells them. You can find Newman-O's in many flavors, like original, mint, chocolate cream, peanut butter, and vanilla.
These cookies are similar to other famous sandwich cookies, like the older Hydrox cookie and the very popular Oreo. Newman-O's are a newer version of this classic cookie style.
What Makes Newman-O's Special?
Newman-O's are made with special care. They are organic, which means they are grown and made without certain chemicals. They also do not contain any partially hydrogenated oils or trans fats. These are types of fats that some people try to avoid for health reasons.
The cookies are also kosher. This means they follow special food rules based on Jewish law.
Good for Everyone
Newman-O's are a great choice for many people with special diets. If someone has lactose intolerance, they can enjoy these cookies because Newman-O's do not have any dairy.
They are also a common sweet treat for vegans. Vegans choose not to eat any animal ingredients, and Newman-O's fit that rule. The company even offers special cookies that are wheat-free for those who cannot eat wheat. Also, these cookies do not contain high fructose corn syrup, which is a type of sugar often found in many foods.
The Newman-O's Song
Newman-O's even have their own fun theme song! The lyrics go like this:
"You might, m'lady, tweak my nose.
You could, m'lord, step on my toes.
But Heaven help those poor bozos,
who try to filch my Newman-O's."
This catchy song was sometimes played in the background of Newman's Own commercials during the 1990s. You would see a boy happily eating the cookies while the song played.
