imeverywoman Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 bowl, spoon, gallon of whole milk and a bag of Oreos. I filled the bowl, dropped the Oreos in, waited the allotted amount of time, and the cookies were still as hard as my head! They're supposed to get all nice and mushy. What the heck??? Has it been that long that I've not had one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolly Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Sounds suspicious. Can't say I've ever eaten Oreos in a bowl though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imeverywoman Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Did someone sabotage my Oreos so that I wouldn't fully enjoy them, thereby forcing me to be healthy even while this slave driver is gone far away? Hmmm... Conspiracy theories.... Honestly, they taste much better in a bowl. Or at least, they used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda...inOwasso Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 LOL, sounds like they're stale to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yep, sounds stale. But, yummy...a bowl of oreos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahousefullofjs Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Nope, I really do think they changed them. They are definitely more crunchy now. They also take much longer to get to proper "mushiness" when dipped in milk. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 You could try Oreos cereal instead. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Plus, stale oreos usually get soft don't they? So, how do you eat oreos in a bowl? Do you put them in whole? Do you break them into pieces? I'm am quite curious. Regular or double stuffed?:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imeverywoman Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Fill said bowl with said milk. Withdraw adequate number of Oreos, depending on bowl size and submerge in moo-juice. Allow adequate time for Oreos to get soft; in this case, the day after never would be about right. Use jumbo-size soup spoon to fish out the little buggers and enjoy the squishy, soft, chocolaty goodness. Repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole M Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I think they have changed them. But you know what? Trader Joe's makes some "creme filled cookies", i.e., knock-off Oreos, and they are so, way, super-better than even my fondest memory of Oreos that it isn't even funny. You can't go back to Oreos after you've had the Joe-Joe-whatever-they're-called. Go. Find a Trader Joe's near you before your trainer gets back. Run!

CLHCO Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I haven't tried the Oreo in the milk thing in quite some time but I remember the nice and mushy. If a cookie does not soften in milk, I don't even want to know what has been added to them! I'm that way with cereal. I never understood the goal to make them stay crunchy in milk. Why add milk if you want it to stay crunchy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda...inOwasso Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Have you tried the Oreos with the strawberry creme filling? Oh My, are they dangerous!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty Mathy Mom Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I agree with the Trader Joe cookies. They are far superior to Oreos. I'm counting the days until the Candy Cane Joe Joe's come back. Mmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 You could try Oreos cereal instead. :001_huh: My son used to love, love, love this cereal. We haven't been able to find it in over a year though. I don't know if it was Discontinued or if the stores here just don't sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 My studies show that if you bite into an Oreo before you put it in milk, it will absorb the milk. RC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
