There is much debate as to how to eat Oreos. People have come up with many unique ways to eat Oreo cookies over the years. There are many different ways to enjoy Oreo cookies. Many children don’t know the various ways of eating an Oreo. So they stick with what they know.
A California school conducted a case study in order to find out whether kids eat all of the cookie or just the cream. Crossroads Christian School, Corona, California has elementary students who are learning scientific methods and having fun. They are gathering and organizing data in order to support their hypothesis about the habits of Oreo cookie-loving students. The scientists are inviting other schools to participate in the survey online in the coming weeks. The Crossroads hypothesis has proven to be false. Approximately 35 percent of the students ate the cookies by twisting them open, while 37 percent ate their Oreos. This included the ability to collect, analyze, and present data. Participants used graphs and charts for data analysis, changes, and input. “We covered many technical skills…students aren’t aware they’re learning about spreadsheets or databases.” The Oreo served to bridge science and students during this experiment. The Oreo provided students with a way to learn new skills and also gave them the opportunity to have a snack. There have been many other experiments that were done with Oreos. This experiment, however, focuses more on icing than actual cookies.
Twisting Oreos in order to find the side with the most frosting is a tradition that has been around for a while. It’s a fun way for kids to make a wager about the outcome of playground problems. The probability that the cookie side with the most icing will win the bet is either a random chance or something the cookie gods have pre-determined. Princeton researchers and scientists have discovered that there is no way to know which side of a cookie will receive the cream the best. “In fact, a 2014 study found that 100% of cookies get cream correctly. This is due to the way Oreos were made. The students were able to use both aerospace technology and mechanical engineering as they came up with the conclusion that each Oreo from every cookie box splits exactly the same way everytime. This question was answered by Ivy League scientists. You can check their conclusion using the instructions below.
“Position your Oreo box so that it faces the right way. Next, remove the cookie from its upper left corner. If the cream is on the biscuit’s left side, it will end up on every other cookie in the box. If it is on the right, it will be vice versa.
Oreo cookies come from a machine which pumps the filling onto a cookie wax. The icing adheres to the side that received the icing the first. When the cookie is separated, the icing stays on the side that received the icing. This experiment seems like it has answered a question that Oreo fans around the globe have been asking. Nabisco’s Oreo cookie sales success can be attributed to their interaction with consumers. The cookie can be enjoyed in many different ways. You can eat it in three ways. Based on solid research by Oreo fans, psychologists, and food writer, we have concluded that Oreos can be used to identify personality types.
Oreos are a great way to learn about yourself. Kraft, owned by Nabisco Oreo manufacturer, conducted a survey in 2004 that included more than 2000 Oreo-eaters and found that there are three distinct categories. “Dunkers,” for example, are active, adventurous, and very social. 87% of dunkers choose milk for their dunking liquid. Twisters, who haven’t twisted an Oreo, are emotionally, sensitive, artistic, and fashionable. Biters can be self-confident, cheerful, and easygoing. It is fascinating to learn that your eating habits can influence your personality. It is possible to determine your personality by how you eat your Oreos. It would be intriguing to find out the best way of eating one.
People can get very defensive about how they eat Oreos. There are the dip-it-in-milk purists, the twist-and-eat its pros, and even the just-treat-it-like-a-normal-cookie people. Some may argue that Oreos should be eaten the way they are intended. “Some Oreo fans have discovered that the best way of eating an Oreo, according to them, is to use their pepper mill.”
This week, the Delish team attended an Oreo-themed party that focused on snack hacks. There was also the first time we saw Oreo dust. This is the powdered, chocolatey substance that emerges from a peppermill when it’s filled with crushed-up cookies. The delicious resulting product can be used in ice creams, frosting desserts such as cakes and cupcakes, and even popcorn.
