 Whether you twist them, split them, snap them or just chomp on in, it's a slam dunk for lovers of the iconic Oreo cookie. The first one was sold to a Hoboken, New Jersey, grocer 100 years ago today. While the traditional chocolate wafer and single filling layer reigns supreme with consumers, to the tune of more than $2 billion in global annual revenues, Nabisco began offering variations such as the "Double Stuf" (with twice the standard amount of icing) in 1975, and the 100-calorie-per-cookie "Triple Double" (three wafers, and a layer each of standard and chocolate icing) in 2011. Due to public health concerns, Nabisco phased out lard from the original filling recipe in favor of trans-fats, which themselves came under fire in 2003. As of 2006, all classic-format cookies have been made with non-hydrogenated vegetable oil. Nabisco has released a sprinkle-filled 100th anniversary Birthday Cake limited edition throughout the United States and is celebrating with a dedicated website and fan festivities around the world.

I eat them with a fork like this.
i put them in a bag, mash them up then put them in a bowl of milk, i like to be creative with my food
Must have a cup of milk. End of story.
Nutter Bitter Peanut Butter cookies are better tasting and go with milk better than Oreos'.
Oreo's are a classic, and less people have allergies to Oreos. BOO Nutter Butters
I am having flashbacks of the Oreo O's cereal from the 90's- OMG. Then one time when I was at college, my aunt brought me a package of oreos. I ate a whole row, realized this was not a good idea, and put a "free cookies" sign on them- in an all girls dorm, vanished within an hour.
What ever happened to the fudge covered oreos? I loved those things!
I can't believe they didn't mention the rare crispy-chocolate covered Mint Oreos. Oh, I'd love to find some of those!
Just read this article. Now it is getting late and I am thinking of driving to the store to get some Oreos!
Load that oreo cookie with Reddi Wip
You'll be able to imagine heaven
Ok, here is what I do: put 4 or 5 Oreos in a normal size coffee cup, fill with milk, let sit for one minute, grap teaspoon then partake. . . my version of portion control & a great treat! Burn it off the next day. . .
Leaving them in one piece, I dunk them in milk (one half at a time) until they're soft, then eat them.
I don't eat the filling at all! I scrape out all the white stuff and crunch those cookie wafers all by themselves. Do they even sell them like this, sans filling?
try the 100 calorie packages. They are just wafers and they are AMAZING.
Me too! I hate frosting. It's disgustingly gross greasy stuff. I would peel it off and give it to my brothers and just eat the chocolate cookie, too. I couldn't believe my ears when I first heard of double stuffs! SOO GROSS!!!!
look for Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers. They are dark chocoate and thinner. They can be hard to find but work the effort.
Oreo Cookies are s***; I love bitter biscuits and lard!
another breakthrough article from cnn, way to go. keep up the good 'journalism' DBs
Twist apart a Doublestuf cookie, keep both halves whole, and keep all the icing on one half of the cookie. Eat one half. Scrape off the icing with front teeth in two strokes in a downward motion. Eat the other cookie. Drink, preferably ice-cold, lactose-free 1% milk. Savor. Repeat three times. Good eatin'.
I gots NO front teeth. What's does I do?
Make an icing tower from a handful of Oreo middles. Then peel the tower from the bottom wafer. Roll the tower into a ball about the size of a golf ball, then eat in a single bite. That's what I used to do - though I *was* 6 years old at the time... I couldn't blink until I was 11.
I used to practice ALL my Dunks before a Big game with Oreo's and a wide mouth cup of milk. Drove Jack Nicholson CRAZY.
I enjoy my oreo's by simply dipping them in milk, but they are always dipped near the same exact amount of time. You dip holding on to the outside edge, applying slight pressure, until the bottom half is soft enough to crack/slide apart. Thanks to the apparently fake, yet delicious cream in the middle, it all stays together.
I use a food processor to crush the Oreos into a fine dust and mix with milk. I then pour this mixture into an injection device called an enema and follow the instructions.
Grow up.
I have a feeling i know who you are! lol
I like my oreos straight out of the box and I always like dipping them in milk as well.
I like eating my oreos straight out of the box and dipping them in a glass of milk.
Put the lard back and maybe I'll eat some !! Real fat is real flavor
Just like the song says, O, O, O, Ice cold milk and a OREO cookie. I Always dunk them in milk till just the right point so as the dont fall apart in the milk. BUT, there are always a few that you dont get in time and then you just swish it around in the glass and drink it up! MMmmmmmmmmmmm Goooooood
I like to have two. I take the cookie part of one of each so I make a double stuffed on my own. I remember when they first were made kosher while I was in college. The Hillel director had a test tasting between the Oreos and Hydrox which did have rabbinic supervision.
Here's an awesome, easy 'truffle' recipe that requires no cooking... just melting some chocolate chips or almond bark.
1. Get a package of Oreos
2. Smash the everliving hell out of them! (pro tip: put them in a bag first before smashing)
3. Take a package of cream cheese, and mix it all up with your Oreo crumbs in a bowl. By hand works best.
4. Take the black goo you just made and roll it into little balls, about an inch wide, and put them on a plate or cookie sheet.
5. Put it in the fridge until it's cold.
6. While that's cooling and firming, put your almond bark in a small pot. Put some water in a slightly larger pot, and put it on medium low heat, and put the pan with the chocolate chips/bark in it into that pan, submerging the bottom in the hot water (but not touching the bottom). Or if you're some sort of fancy pants you can use a double boiler if you have one.
7. Let the stuff melt.
8. Take your now cold Oreo and cream cheese balls, and give them a quick dip in the melted chocolate, and put them back on the pan to cool and harden.
9. Stick them back in the fridge. I don't know how long they keep for, they never last that long.
They are so delicious. And fast. And easy and simple. They're great when you first make them, but after a day or so they are absolutely divine (especially with some chopped walnuts mixed with the Oreo mixture... drool). An impressive last minute desert.
Place oreo between thumb and first finger, dip half way up in milk, count to three, remove, place whole cookie in mouth, munch down..... close eyes, smile and enjoy the simple pleasure...... life is good and sweet and fun with oreo cookies and milk.
Now I want some Oreos. I dip the whole cookie in the milk but instead of counting I just wait for all the bubbles to go away and its ready. :)
I usually only eat odd numbers at a time because the first one goes into the glass of milk to remain there until the end getting fully soaked and becoming fully soft. They others I dunk in pairs until softened then Nom Nom Nom! At the end with my final drink of milk I wash down the one totally soaked in the bottom. MMMMMmmmmmm. Eleven was a daily ritual for about 10 years of my life. I'm sure the dark cocoa and all the rest are going to end up taking that from my life too. Oh Well. Eating is my favorite vice.
Dunk 'em!
I love to dip my Oreos in ice cold milk! I am going to buy some today!
I usually eat them in the middle of the night. Usually around 1am.....then around 2am.....then again around 330am. My wife hides them, but I always findem :)
Am I the only one who dipped my Oreos in peanut butter? A la the Parent Trap?
100 years of proving the adage "You CAN sell pure carbon to people, so long as you slather it in enough sugar!"
Thanks for ruining everyone else's fun! You must be a hit at parties!
Just a complete lack of taste buds, I guess.
I havn't had an Oreo and Milk since I was 37 years old. I am now 68. But oh how good they were. Especially when I woke up in the middle of the night. That toasty chocolate taste, sweet crean and cold milk, it just didn't get better than that!!!
Why?
The Oreos today do not compare to the ones that were made with better chocolate wafers and lard-based filling. I'd like to see "Classic Oreos" or "Original Oreos" in the store, but of course that would just be marketing some product that that they could make for less and sell for more.... as for eating them, with milk. An Oreo, then some milk, repeat.
I'm in love with the dental hygenist who cleans my teeth, but I don't get to spend much time with her. So before an appointment I eat a whole package of Oreos.
Jessica & Gabby, processed sugar, the first ingredient listed in an Oreo, is typically filtered thru charcoal aka. animal bone char. So the question is, just how vegan are you?
OREO COOKIES ARE SIMPLY ONE OF THE NICEST THINGS ABOUT LIFE THAT WE CAN ALL ENJOY, JUST LIKE SEX, I BET YOU CAN'T EAT JUST ONE!! TEE-HEE!
I put 8 oreos in a bowl and cover them with milk. Then I stir the oreos until they are of the consistency of pudding. Delicious!
AAAAAAAAAAANDD, oreos are 100% vegan. No animal products whatsoever. So, it's a snack EVERYONE in the world can enjoy together.
That depends on where you live and your definition of vegan. In the UK, Oreos contain animal rennet, and in the US some of the sugar suppliers use "bone char" in the sugar refining process.
dunk em in milk and eat... repeat... repeat... until cookies are gone!
As an adult I don't eat them anymore but that's because I avoid anything sweet or sugary at this point.
But when I was a kid – WOW – I ate a LOT of them. I liked to separate them – just to do it – and ALWAYs ate them with a nice tall glass of cold whole milk. YUM!
Dunk them in milk!! Of course!
Absolutely...cannot believe this was not a choice!
I love Oreos.
I get a package of double stuffs, twist them apart and make Quadruple Stuffs.
That, my friend, is awesome x 4. This just inspired me to go to the store on my lunch hour, and make the first prototype for ..... drum rolll .... OCTO-STUFs!!!
I'm a reformed Quadaholic. Oh, to have those good ol' days back again!
Here's how it's done: You buy double stuf oreos and get a glass of whole milk and a fork. You put the fork in the oreo stuffing then dip it into the milk. Perfect milk coverage without the mess.
You sir....have blown my mind! And I thank you for it!
I bow to your genius. I'm going to have a custom made fork dedicated to this purpose.
I do this, too, and have never heard of anyone else eating them this way!! Only not with the double-stuff (it's just too much icing for me). I've eaten this way since I was a kid, and even my family thinks it's strange. But great minds think alike, apparently.
I find that if you use normal oreos, the fork ends up splitting it. I dare not risk losing the cookie in the milk.
Oreo was a ripoff of Hydrox cookies. Funny that Oreo ripoff ended up being more popular!
That's just a lie! Aside from the chocolate cookie outside, creme filled center, similar shape, similar packaging, and the fact Oreo was released a few years after the Hydrox cookie...how can Oreos possibly be a rip off??!?!
Twist apart two seperate Double Stuf cookies, and put the icing halves together to make a Quadruple Stuf Oreo!
I usually try to see just how high I can get them to go.
Oreaos are disgusting remnants of a time when the big food industry in America could feed us anything, advertise the heck out of it, and convince us that killing ourselves slowly was the way to go. Judgling from this story, I guess these time aren't over. What we need is an attack on processed food (such as Oreos) similar to the attack on cigarettes. The government gave both industries a license to kill with tax incentivies and other encouragement and now we all cry about escalating health care costs, obestity and falling quality of life. As they say, common sense is not a sense common to all.
Seriously? Anything else you disagree with that doesn't affect you that you would like to deprive others of? Is someone blowing oreos in your face? Is second-hand oreo bad for you? It's called choices, and you can choose NOT to eat them. Example: I believe abortion is murder. Do I believe that my opinion should be law? No. All Hail Victor the Emperor of Lilliput.
Victor: You need to take more personal responsibility. Really, a person selling cookies is not your enemy. If you don't want to eat cookies, then just don't eat them.
Oh, Victor, just stuff it. Worry about your own diet, not everyone else's. You are probably one of those people who can't get any pleasure out of a good meal, and are jealous of those who do.
Frankly, it's no one's business what I eat. I'm not overweight, but even if I was, I resent the idea that someone else feels they have any business telling me what to eat or not eat.
I guess those judgemental people feel it's okay for the rest of us to support their medical expenses if they happen to drop over, or get some disease, through no fault of their own. We've been presented with so much 'advice' over the years over what to eat and what not to eat (eggs? butter? carbs?), just to have that advice reversed...it doesn't make any sense to follow the trends regarding food advice.
No, I'm not going to eat a box of oreos, or down one of those BK 1,000 burgers....but if you want to, go for it!
Joyce, I don't mean to be annoying, but didn't you mean to say ... DoubleStuf it?
You are right, no one has the right to enjoy life. Us food Nazis need to stick together and tell people what they can and can not enjoy. Hiel Veganism! If you agree, you truely need victors advice.
try one with whipped creme on it ( a lot)
you probably won't die
but you might be able to imagine heaven
It's a shame whoever wrote the survey didn't include what is probably the most common way to eat an Oreo – DUNK THAT SH** IN MILK!
Dunk 'em in milk!!
Dunk them in milk! Walter has the right idea.
I split them and dicard the filling. Love the chocolate cookie. Have to have milk with them
I don't discard it but agree, the chocolate cookie part is best. I wish they offered Thin Stuff!
I was wondering if anyone else did this. I'll sometimes eat the filling but really like the dark chocolate flavor of the cookie. Never did eat them with milk.
My favorite Oreos are the inside-out ones: vanilla cookie with chocolate cream filling. And my favorite thing about Oreos is that they are vegan!
Disagree that Hydrox are comparable. Oreos are IT! But, with health concerns, there are recipes out there to make your own, I think the Serious Eats website has the most faithful re-creation, without the trans-fats/lard/etc.
And I agree, Milk-dunking is the best way!!
My reaction to sites like Serious Eating are get serious. I you really want to eat completely healthy, you don't look for alternative ways to make bad foods – they do not satisfy and you end up eating more anyway – this is a proven side effect of eating the 'healthy' versions of candy, sweets etc. Every nutritionist I've talked to say eat less of the thing you really want, the 'good' kind (bad for you), you will feel more satisfied and in the end eat less.
Sorry...but HYDROX cookies beat out Oreo any day of the week. Oreos are awful.
YUP! Agree, agree, agree! HYDROX ruled in my day...............(sigh)
This sounds a lot like the maronaisse/miracle whip argument. Whichever you grew up with is the one you like. Hydrox have a completely different chocolate taste.
Oreos used to be good when I was a kid. They've changed and otherwise morphed into some super-highly processed fraud of a food item. Something changed in the late 80's that made them more like a chocolate graham cracker than a cookie. Absolutely avoiding these things ever since.
Blame it on Keebler.
Not a Keebler/Kellogg product – they made Hydrox (then Droxie) sandwich cookies made by Sunshine Biscuits (used to work for Keebler at the time of their puchase by Kellogg. Those were truly awful. Oreo is Nabisco.
Didn't read up far enough – apologies! ;-)
Dip in ice cold milk until the cookie under your fingers just starts to get soft, then eat it on one bite. The cookie is soft and the and the cream filling is still a bit solid. Oh those were the days.
Absolutely. Can't believe they forgot the milk scenario! Can't have oreos without milk. I love the mushy on the outside with the lard-filled insides. MIss those!
You are so right Walter. Coffee works great too!
