What's up with this? Why was their no damage at all to these Oreos?

It's glowing "OREO" that freaks me out a bit. Not unlike the elvish markings on Tolkien's Ring of Power.

Good Lord I'm glad I don't eat those things. I never did like them. That lard in the middle is gross.

The moisture content disperses the heat would be my guess.

That's the best part. Mmm...Double Stuff

It's not lard. I think it's a mixture of high fructose corn syrup and epoxy.

With that heat blast the moisture would be gone in just a few seconds.

I think there's an unhealthy mix of complex chemistry and dark juju going on there.

Here are the ingredients:


Baking soda might be what protects the cookie.

A google search says that they have vegetable shortening in them. Lard is animal fat. I guess I didn't know the difference.

They can take heat but a glass of milk will melt them.

That is weird.

But sugar does and the cookie is mostly sugar (and evil spirits).

 

[Josie]

It does make you wonder what is in "food" like this to keep it shelf stable for a long period of time.

High sugar content
Foods extremely high in processed sugars chemically bound to other ingredients have to reach an exceptionally high temperature in order to vaporize, mix with oxygen and ignite.

My sister would crunch them up in a bowl and eat them like cereal.

The baking soda might be concentrated in the biscuits.

My Mom always kept a box of baking soda handy in case of a stove fire.

Wow, impressive. I am really glad at this moment that I don't have any Oreos in the house and hope that I forget that I read this!

IMO - Oreo's are for kids.
To me, they taste like ink. Or, more accurately how I imagine ink would taste like.
I always preferred Chops Ahoy. I don't believe I have eaten an Oreo in 20 years maybe.

Don't all cookies have baking soda? You can definitely burn homemade cookies.

I have no idea. I don't bake.

I never buy them due to lack of self control.

When I was just teaching myself how to bake I overfilled a cake pan with chocolate cake batter.
During the baking process the leavening product kicked in, the batter spilled out of the pan and covered the electric element.
It backed into a black mound then ignited.
The mix had vegetable oil in it so it burned pretty well, was tough to put out.
The burned stuff had the consistency of fired clay, only lighter.

Ooops.

 

[WillyPete]

They make a lemon Oreo that's kinda addictive.

Can't speak for their properties as kindling, but I bet it would smell awful.

Exactly. I've even gone a couple of years without them, and I am NOT paying $5 for Oreos. But several months ago there was a 2 for $8 sale (wow, a dollar off each--not so much of a sale, but a great excuse, yes?). I sensibly gave one away to my kid, but I'm pretty sure you know what happened to the rest.

Did you know that studies have been done on who eats Oreos which way (dunkers vs dry and those who take them apart and what this means). What I remember of one study is that what men in the South do is what women in the North do and that men up North do what Southern women do. Not sure what this means.

Talking about eating Oreos is making me cringe. I am judging you all. jk
