On Oreology, the fracture and flow of “milk's favorite cookie” (scitation.org)

Story time. Many many moons ago, when I was in high school, I had a problem with people stealing my lunch. See, the band hall (I was in band) was right next to the cafeteria, unlike my (and everyone else's) locker. So it was common practice to leave our lunches in cubby holes in the band hall.

One day, I got my lunch only to find that the chips and the dessert (Oreos) had been stolen. When I got home that day, myself and a friend devised a plan. We carefully unscrewed several Oreos and removed the center portion of the filling, leaving a ring of filling around the outside. We replaced the removed filling with cayenne pepper and reassembled them. It was actually my friend who handled the cayenne pepper powder, and he mentioned that his fingers were tingling by the time we were done.

Then next day, I put my lunch in the same place, and I also put a microcassette recorder in an adjacent cubby, set to the slowest recording speed. Sure enough, they went for it again, and this time I got the reaction on tape. No idea who it was, I was just happy that it worked out so well ;) I do wonder if I still have that tape somewhere..


Is it really the norm to twist the cookies apart and lick the frosting, like in the commercials? I eat them whole, two at a time, like a pig. Well, that's when I do eat them. I haven't had oreos in many years now.

It depends?

I eat my oreos like corn flakes in 3 easy steps:

- step 1: pour them into a bowl filling it to about half way,

- step 2: pour some half and half to about 3/4,

- step 3: complete with heavy whipping cream

Then I let them soak for about 5 minutes and finally attack this ungodly mixture with a spoon.

Fear not, for I have a keto friendly alternative when I eat breakfast with friends who don't want carbs!

I've found that just 2 to 3 lankato vanilla drops in a small glass of a 50/50 mix of half and half and heavy whipping cream gives me a drink that tastes just like melted icecream (or whipped cream) so I can do without Oreos.

However, just a drink might be too light of a break, so on the side I add eggs deep fried in olive oil "spanish style" (bubbly brownish white but runny yoke)


That is a good recipe. I used to add 1 cup of sugar + a garnish of brown sugar to a big salad bowl of ice cream. I had to stop because I would sweat profusely and be unable to sleep.


Wow. I thought I was a loon for going to step 2 and consuming immediately. Bravo!


What in the world...? Is this a serious paper?


Of course!
