GAY PRIDE: Will Grey Poupon Be This Year’s Oreo?
Exactly one year ago, Oreo showed its support for gay pride, posting a picture on its Facebook page of an Oreo cookie with the colors of the gay pride flag represented as different layers of filling. In the course of 365 days, the photo drew 296,400 likes and nearly 60,000 comments, positive and negative, and it was shared more than 90,000 times. This year, Grey Poupon is looking to follow suit with a thought-provoking photo of its own.
