It was a fast comment in passing by Wade Roe in dialogue, but based on fact.
Manuel Noriega has (or had) a large love of Oreo cookies. I wouldn't spin no crap on that. Here's some support from back in the day when our main man Manuel first started cooling his heels in the clink.
Exhibit #1
WELL, THAT'S HOW THE COOKIE CRUMBLES
October 30, 1990
Who's that kid eatin' the Oreo cookies? Surprise, surprise, it's the pineapple-faced Panamanian Manuel Noriega, former Foreign Enemy No. 1, who now resides in the "dictator's suite" in Miami's Federal Correction Center.
We don't know if he's a twister, a dunker or a cruncher, but we do know that the Nabisco treats are his favorite snack and just one of life's little pleasures that the once-mighty strongman enjoys while awaiting his Jan. 28 trial.

Exhibit #2
January 25, 1991
DO EX-STRONGMEN EAT THE FILLING FIRST? It`s doubtful, however, that even daily 2,500-milligram injections of coconut would do much for the pockmarked, russet complexion of Panama`s deposed Manuel Antonio Noriega, a confessed chocoholic (if not drug co-conspirator). "The Dictator's Suite" at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Miami is stocked with candies and other junk food, Oreo cookies being Noriega`s favorite.

Exhibit #3
News of the Weird
May 02, 1991
Vanity Fair reports that Manuel Noriega always offers visitors to his prison cell Oreo cookies. Said Noriega's lawyer, "He may no longer be the ruler of his nation, but psychologically he still has this need to offer you hospitality."

Exhibit #4
He's Our Thug, And We're Taking Good Care Of Him
October 29, 1990
The government isn't revealing the cost of maintaining Chateau Noriega, which was custom-designed because an ordinary jail cell was too confining. Nor is it known which of the general's goodies - from deodorant to English-lesson tapes to his beloved Oreo cookies - are paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Case closed. This is the kind of weird stuff that gets thrown at you while attending fun and wonderful weddings around the world. Nabisco shoulda made that guy their spokesperson for the brand. Everything taken away, and he chooses Oreos for a treat. That's hardcore! You can't buy that kind of brand loyalty.
Only the important stuff for you, and just the facts.
"It took out the Northeast faster than Manuel Noriega does a bag of Oreos."
