A: 3 seconds B: 5 seconds C: up to 10 seconds D: up to 15 seconds E: longer

My choice is E, since 30 seconds introduces the prime ratio of milkiness to flavor.

Stick a fork in the cream, hold it under until the bubbles stop.

[–] medgremlin@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Other people have given me a hard time for using that as the metric for when they're done. It's not my fault they interpret it as me drowning the cookie.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I’m surprised Oreo hasn’t done a Halloween ad campaign about how people eat their cookies: Hold it under until the bubbles stop, twist its head off, eat it in tiny nibbles.

Pro tip: if there's an Aldi near you, get the Benton's sandwich creme cookies. They're so much better than Oreos and way cheaper.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Dude, the Benton's maple creme sandwich cookies... Omg

Aldi has quite a few house brands that are fantastic and (relatively) cheap.

[–] _dev_null@lemmy.zxcvn.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Just like your hookers.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Keep going. I'm getting there.

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

This is me too.

[–] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I like to bite off just a little of the top and bottom of the sandwich cookie to aid in airflow/flooding, since the baked finish is sometimes nearly air tight.

[–] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm one of those monsters that eats the oreo and then washes down with milk. No dipping

[–] s3rvant@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Opposite here: crush some in a cup, fill with milk and eat with a spoon

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

You forgot to cut it with the blockbuster card before sniffing

[–] favrion@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm one of those monsters that eats it raw.

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm one of those monsters that don't usually eat oreos.

Never saw the appeal - I prefer sweeter, chocolate or strawberry-flavoured sandwich cookies instead. (Kind of weird given that I tend to gravitate towards bitter food.)

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Raw, microwaved, fried, frozen or drowned - there’s no wrong way to eat an Oreo.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Till the cookie is mushy but not so mushy it falls apart.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In Finland we have a "local Oreo" called Domino. Oreo always had this mythical reputation as a famous american cookie almost no one had tasted. Then Oreos came to the stores here for the first time so I naturally bought a pack to try them out. I never bought another one. Those are incredibly dry and dull tasting compared to the Domino cookies I'm used to.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah in the UK, Oreos are the lowest common denominator too. You'd have to finish the custard creams, bourbons, fly cemeteries and the dusty old packet of pink wafers you inherited when your gran died before you'd consider an Oreo

[–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hob Nobs are top tier. 🤌

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Close, *homemade hobnobs are top tier. Trust me, I'm an emigrant 😂

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

That’s why we’re talking about dipping them

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Until it's too late to save it because I dropped it in the milk several minutes and fuck shit ass I forgot thanks to ADHD because ooo lizards.

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago

I alternate cookie and milk bites/sips so I have a crunch that suddenly melts when in my mouth. I don’t like biting into sogginess.

[–] TheLonelyWonderer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Just 3 seconds. The Oreos manufactured in my part of the world are very porous and absorb liquid way too fast, and I don't like having my cookie crumble and break into my beverage just mere milliseconds away from touching my lip.

[–] Clusterfck@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago

Drop them all in at once and slowly sip the milk. Enjoy the delicious at the bottom when finished.

[–] Papergeist@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uhhhhh zero seconds. I don't like milk and thus I don't dip my cookies in shit.

[–] favrion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

No set time, I hold them under until the bubbles stop.

[–] Veraxus@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
  1. Fill a cup with oreos.
  2. Cover with milk.
  3. Wait until oreos become paste.
  4. Stir and eat with spoon.

Also, my favorite cookie/biscuit used to be Mother’s Taffy sandwich cookies, but then they went out of business, got bought out, brought back, and ruined by completely changing the recipe. Pretty sure the new recipe is just cardboard pulp and reclaimed wastewater.

I miss those.

[–] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I rarely dip, I mostly put the dry oreo in my mouth and take a sip.

[–] favrion@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I like dry Oreos, especially when they are on the verge of being stale and they soften.

[–] cybirdman@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I remember watching a Mythbusters or similar show that concluded that the time out of the milk after dipping is more important than the time in the milk. I've been doing that ever since, one dip than 5 seconds out then dip again and 5 seconds out again and it's perfect every time.

[–] favrion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] cybirdman@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Not sure, I guess exposing the cookie to air let's the milk seep in deeper.

[–] doubletwist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

F: Zero seconds.

Step 1: Eat a cookie Step 2: Drink Milk Step 3: Goto Step 1

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm perfectly happy with 5 seconds, or not dipping at all. Eat cookie, drink milk. Still enjoyable one after the other.

My wife's a 5-second dipper, though, so I have adopted her practice when she's around.

[–] SavageJomama@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I like to dip it far enough that my fingers are in the milk a little too so that I can feel once the oreo starts to get soft.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Chocolate chip cookies for me, and as long as I can before it starts to fall apart.

I like playing chicken with them

[–] flicker@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Dip a chocolate digestive in tea for maybe two full seconds and it is absolute glory.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I stick a fork through the middle, then try to get as close to the cookie falling off as I can.

  • 3 seconds: normal human bean

  • 5 seconds: borderline philistine, yet understandable

  • 10 seconds: I will gawk in incredulity at your shenanigans

  • 15 seconds: you are an absolute Madlad

  • 30 seconds: you revolting against what? And what for? Do you even have principles?

  • longer: who hurt you?
