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.

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.

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.

Reeces did that many years ago.

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.

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.

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

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

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.)

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

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.

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

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

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.
