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.
I rarely dip, I mostly put the dry oreo in my mouth and take a sip.
I like dry Oreos, especially when they are on the verge of being stale and they soften.
- Fill a cup with oreos.
- Cover with milk.
- Wait until oreos become paste.
- 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.
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.
F: Zero seconds.
Step 1: Eat a cookie Step 2: Drink Milk Step 3: Goto Step 1
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.
How does that work?
Not sure, I guess exposing the cookie to air let’s the milk seep in deeper.
Drop them all in at once and slowly sip the milk. Enjoy the delicious at the bottom when finished.
D or E
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.
No set time, I hold them under until the bubbles stop.
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.
I stick a fork through the middle, then try to get as close to the cookie falling off as I can.
Uhhhhh zero seconds. I don’t like milk and thus I don’t dip my cookies in shit.
Fair.
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.
Dip a chocolate digestive in tea for maybe two full seconds and it is absolute glory.
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.
Dude, the Benton’s maple creme sandwich cookies… Omg
Aldi has quite a few house brands that are fantastic and (relatively) cheap.
Just like your hookers.
Keep going. I’m getting there.
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.
This is me too.
