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 10 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Just like your hookers.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Keep going. I'm getting there.

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

This is me too.

[–] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

You forgot to cut it with the blockbuster card before sniffing

[–] favrion@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year 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 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

Hob Nobs are top tier. 🤌

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

That’s why we’re talking about dipping them

[–] TheLonelyWonderer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year 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.

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year 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.

[–] Clusterfck@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Exactly, you wait until you feel it just starting to dissolve under your fingers and then try to pull it out fast and gentle. If you are in any way slightly wrong it's gone

[–] Papergeist@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year 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 1 year ago
[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Veraxus@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] doubletwist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

F: Zero seconds.

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

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

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

[–] favrion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

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

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

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

I like playing chicken with them

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

[–] flicker@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

  • 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?
