I would like to know how many of you fall into the following categories?Please feel free to add to the categories if you think I have left anyone out:

A) the people who open an Oreo and lick off the icing before eating the cookies.
B) the people who open an Oreo and scrap off the icing with their teeth (Uppers) before eating the cookies.
C)the people who open an Oreo and scrap off the icing with their teeth (Lowers) before eating the cookies.
D) The disgusting people who simply bite into their unopened Oreos or, worse, pop the whole cookie into their gaping maw before beginning to chew.

~~
Dunking and Dipping
A) those who dip gingerly before placing the Oreo in their mouth.
B) Those intrepid daredevils who hold the Oreo below the surface of the milk until the last possible moment before complete saturation wherein they flash the falling apart cookie into their mouth in one big wet gob of chocolate and sweet, sweet milky icing.
C)Those idiots who wait too long and have to resort to eating the sunken Oreo pieces with a spoon.

Please attach all appropriate videos.

@Joe Nation,

When I have Oreos (and it has been far too long), I dunk about half in milk, and keep it absolutely still, creating a clear line of demarcation between soggy and unsoggy.

It's then carefully transported to my mouth (it's soggy enough that care is required), and the soggy part is precisely separated from unsoggy.

Soggy part is enjoyed for a while.

Then the unsoggy half is in turn dipped in the milk until half of IT is soggy, and the process repeats.

Just that far, though -- the last, unsoggy 1/4 is eaten unsoggily.

@Joe Nation,

I don't fit into any of those categories -

Here is my way of eating an oreo.

I open it up, I eat the entire side of the cookie that does not have the cream filling on it. Then I eat the other side but just around the cream. Then I open another and do the same thing and then squish the two remaining sides that just has cream filling and twist a little. This tends to free the cream filling from one - so you have double stuff on one side - I eat the one without the cream and then finally savor the side with all the extra cream on it.

I never, never dunk or dip.

This, of course, is coming up as a related topic.

I tend to do the untwist, scrape off inner workings (bottom teeth as I have an overbite), reapply top to bottom (and they no longer stick, so must be held together), then eat like a very small sandwich. No dunking. Wet foods (like soup) are wet. Dry foods (like sandwiches) are dry. There is no middle ground unless it's something like rice. Oreos are not rice. Therefore, they are not dunked.

To sog is blasphemy!

@jespah,

I'm with you on the anti-soggy stuff - dry s/b dry and wet s/b wet. Unless you are a hybrid - like you said rice.

@Linkat,

Oh, you are the double twist mix and savor type. My research had rumors of persons of your ilk, but until now I had never had any direct testimony from anyone behaving in just that manner.

Thanks,

@jespah,

I'm sure when we divide the country up into dunkers and non-dunkers, the divisions will be called wet and dry counties.

A) the people who open an Oreo and lick off the icing before eating the cookies...I've done this.
B) the people who open an Oreo and scrap off the icing with their teeth (Uppers) before eating the cookies...I've done this as well.
C)the people who open an Oreo and scrap off the icing with their teeth (Lowers) before eating the cookies...Yes, I've even done this.
D) The disgusting people who simply bite into their unopened Oreos or, worse, pop the whole cookie into their gaping maw before beginning to chew...I've done both.

E)Peel the filling off, stack up several onto 1 cookie and have an Oreo cookie with the fillings of 8 cookies.

Dunking and Dipping
A) those who dip gingerly before placing the Oreo in their mouth...a few times.
B) Those intrepid daredevils who hold the Oreo below the surface of the milk until the last possible moment before complete saturation wherein they flash the falling apart cookie into their mouth in one big wet gob of chocolate and sweet, sweet milky icing...a few times. To do it right involves submerging the fingers as well.
C)Those idiots who wait too long and have to resort to eating the sunken Oreo pieces with a spoon...Only partially true, I have never lost the entire cookie.

I don't really like dipping or dunking cookies or donuts either. It always seems wrong.

Because I'm woefully lazy, I won't post videos or such, I'll just hand you a link to Roberta's thread on the joys of Oreos and other foods. I do it mainly because of her first post in the thread, which sums up a nice way to approach a container of Oreos.

Oh right, the thread: http://able2know.org/topic/172040-1

I never liked them. Sorry. I guess I'm oreognostic.

Now, if you want to talk ginger snaps - quick milk dunk is good - with tea, they are the best.

@Sturgis,

Can you do that?! I've done it with about 3 or 4 with my technique described above - I haven't quite mastered what you have accomplished.

@Sturgis,

I go with a variant of E.

Some days I'm just not in the mood for Oreo innards (unless they're the mint ones, I always like Oreo mint innards).

Oreos. Plate. Tea.

1. Unscrew Oreos.
2. peel innards off - usually comes off in one nice slab of sugar and lard (unless you have the seasonal football-shaped Oreos - the innards can be fussy in those)
3. put innards on plate
4. eat single cookie/s
5. just before reaching final 2 cookie pieces, decide if innards are desirable
6. if innards are desirable, stack between cookies and EAT (large mug of tea must be immediately available)
7. if it's not an innards day, ask Set if he is having a waste not, want not day
8. gift or dispose of innards
9. finish vat of tea

B) the people who open an Oreo and scrap off the icing with their teeth (Uppers) before eating the cookies.

Dunking and Dipping
D! Dipping is for amateurs! I don't dip my Oreos.

@PUNKEY,

I agree, Punkey. I can't understand how they ever made it to 100.

sugar cookies, especially the kind that Trost's Bakery in Summit, New Jersey, and Cedars of Lebanon Bakery that used to be on Washington St. in Boston, both now sadly defunct, are the height of cookiedom. Oreos are somewhere in the ne kulturny backwaters. The weird thing is, one was Scandinavian and the other Middle Eastern, but they both had exactly the same traditional recipe.

I'm a heretic. I had some Oreos recently, and wondered why i had ever craved them.

I think that the answer is that they used to be better. My guess is that it is the removing of the trans-fats from the filling that is the problem, but I have not confirmed. Almost certainly it is the same story for the Twinkie and the Ding Dong.

@Joe Nation,

My Oreo eating habits have been well established here.

http://able2know.org/topic/172040-1

You ask for a bit more detail than I provided.

If I'm unwinding, sometimes I lick and sometimes I use my upper teeth.

I haven't overdunked in decades. On the rare occasion when I did, I didn't dig out the Oreo with a spoon. I used my fingers.

BTW, I have a happy birthday wish to Oreos on the link.
