I don't like oreos (Nuemans are so much better) and I don't like milk. But I have tried it and it's underwhelming.

However ice cream blended with oreos makes a good milkshake.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

better to fill a glass with a stack of them, pour in milk and eat with a long spoon.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

This guy gluttons!

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Wait ... Is it even legal to eat Oreos without dipping them in milk?

[–] RaoulDuke25@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 22 hours ago

Believe it or not, straight to jail

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But first, you have to pull them apart with a twist, and eat the filling then have the two chocolate wafers to dip.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some of us like to skirt the rules because of lactose intolerance and don't dunk them.

[–] neo2478@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

They are fire with soy milk!

[–] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Holy crap is this serious?

Oreos dunked in milk just long enough until they've absorbed some milk is a God-Tier snack.

My kids saw a "life-hack" video where you use a fork and squeeze for tines of the fork into the Oreo stuffing so you can dunk the Oreo without getting your fingers in the milk so now not only do we dunk Oreos but we completely submerge them.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

Exactly, there's that sweet spot where they're holding some milk but are still a little crunchy that's just amazing.

It's the only way I eat oreos.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 20 hours ago

This is one of those situations where chopsticks work great too if you know how to use them.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 23 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

This has to be rage bait right?
I don't know of literally anyone who hasn't.

Pro tip, stick a fork in the cream and you can submerge the entire Oreo into milk without having keep the part your holding with your fingers dry

[–] Matticus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

This is the correct answer. With practice you can learn to gauge the sog level by the speed of the bubbles coming to the surface.

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 1 points 13 hours ago

I've literally never done this before. I'm not the biggest oreo fan though.

[–] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I just drop the whole thing in and fish it out with a spoon

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 hours ago

Wait for it to get mushy and strain the chunks through your teeth

[–] finalarbiter@piefed.social 6 points 18 hours ago

Yes, it's fuckin yummy

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 20 hours ago

Yeah... Who the hell eats those dry? The cookie part practically causes your mouth to desertify without any milk.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 18 hours ago

I have. I mean I have eaten them without milk way more often but I have had them with milk and even dipped them. Anything very chocalately that milkcan absorb into is great to dip in milk.

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 6 points 22 hours ago

There are people who don't? I didn't realize such an outcome could even be possible.

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

And the best method is not just dip and eat, but to hold the cookie in the milk for a bit so it absorbs the milk

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Yes, of course! Twist them, eat the filling, then dip the cookie halves in milk until they nearly disintegrate.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Sometimes. Worth it? IDK. I kinda think Oreos suck nowadays anyway. Can’t remember when I last had one.

[–] disregardable@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The issue with doing that is you have to take bigger bites, so you eat more cookies than you would if you didn't. It's good though. I also like animal crackers dipped in coffee.

[–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait. People take bites, rather than just putting the whole Oreo in their mouth?

[–] disregardable@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago

When I'm in control of my diet (not currently), I try to only have 2 at a time with a coffee. So, yeah, like 3 bites per cookie.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

You should try speculoos in coffee. IMO it's coffee's favorite cookie. No idea where you live, but Aldi carries them and they're heavenly in coffee IMO.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

I'm now imagining my coffee with animal cracker pond scum floating on the top of it, and it's not pleasant.

[–] teflon@piefed.social 2 points 19 hours ago

tbh I don't think I have, I did eat a lot of other biscuits with milk though.

[–] Pyrixas@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

Yes, it is mandatory for me that if I am to ever buy cookies such as Oreo, there must be milk to go with it. I can't handle eating them dry.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 3 points 21 hours ago

Have you NOT?!!

[–] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 23 hours ago

Is there any other way?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Has anyone not?

[–] thurstylark@lemmy.today 2 points 21 hours ago

Pro tip for the milk-dunkers meetup we're having here:

Usa a fork stabbed in the cream to keep your fingies milk-free!

Yes, I dunk them in milk. They're awesome that way.

[–] markz@suppo.fi 3 points 23 hours ago
[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 23 hours ago

Yes. I'm not telling if its good or not.😁

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I've only once tasted Oreos and they sucked compared to the equivalent cookie sold in my country so I never bought them again.

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Oreos are not good. The local varieties are always better.

Oreas are garbage level chocolate mixed with cardboard with an overly sweet sugary tasteless sliver of material in the middle.

Nasty things in comparison.

Coffee is a superior dunking medium than milk for Oreos.

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Coffee is for sugar or chocolate chip cookies not oreos

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 21 hours ago

It's great for pretty much any sweet or chocolate based cookie.

[–] AnchoriteMagus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, but I did take the 4 or 5 Oreos I would eat in a sitting, crumble them up, and put them in a bowl of milk like cereal.

[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

i'd eat 18-20 in a single sitting.
