Oreo cookie question

Post by wedeliver » Sun Nov 09, 2008 6:55 pm

Oreo cookies come in a new container that has a peal back lid on the top.

My question, has anyone figured out how to remove the first cookie from either side without breaking it? The center row all can be picked up easy, but I seem to have a difficult time with the sides. After I have removed one cookie from either side then no prob. Any help would be appreciated.



I really hope this question does not offend, bother or cause anyone any kind of discomfort. (humm, wonder about dunking cookies in titty milk)

Never seen the "new" packaging. I get mine at costco and they come in nice clear plastic wrappers in the same style as Ritz crackers. Easy to operate. My oreo cookies end up in the bottom of my cherio bowl with rice milk where I break then in to bits with my spoon. :)

I have the same problem.

Or sometimes, you're eating them and feel guilty for doing it and the fact that the plastic makes 1000x more noise that way just makes you feel worse. :cry:


Well... maybe that's just me. :roll:

i am extremely offended at the idea of a soft white mass sandwiched between 2 hard black things... the implications of a racial menage-a-trois are extremely disturbing to my clean and pure catholic brain...

and even worse ... it is clear that the *first* oreo out of each side is the savior of the rest, who fear growing old and stale, thus creating unnecessary conflict among cookies who, when packaged correctly, live in peace and harmony ...

you should be ashamed of yourself for such an evil post!

Random and somewhat off topic, but there is a R.J. Reynolds factory here and they had an employee day at the theme park I work at. My job was to operate the metal detectors and search bags. I noticed that all the employees had either 3 - 4 packs of cigarettes or several quitting aids in their bags. But all of them had one of the two.

I asked someone how much of a discount they get on their cigarettes, and apparently, they get them free! :roll: But the health plan sucks, I'm sure.

Do you think the oreo factory workers get free ones?

I can help you with this. Just send the cookies to me and I will surgically remove at least the first cookie from each side.

I worked one season at a candy factory, and it was nothing like either Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

But at least we got to eat the rejected candy in the break room. Supposedly, if you work at a candy factory you are supposed to get tired of the sweets... I never did! I wouldn't be surprised if I gained 25 pounds that fall/winter! I did get tired of the noise, and some of the smells.

Oh, and the factory was out in the middle of a corn field-- which explains the origin of the big field spider which dropped off the ceiling of my car and caused me to sideswipe a guardrail...!

I haven't bought Oreos in a long, long time. I have seen the packages, though. I have not, however, seen the new packages before the first few cookies have been taken. And I emphatically deny any rumors that cookie packages left in the offices I clean mysterious have fewer cookies in them after I clean the offices! :wink:

Me either.

Man I was gonna say it, and I thought I'd be laffed out of the thread.

The brown/Black? bisquit is not chocolate flavor? what is its flavor???

The frosting? If that indeed, is what it is?...more like a big scoop of Crisco lard, whipped with 5 tables spoons of powder sugar per cookie...
ewww.

The kids DID make fun of me for not liking these wierd scientifically "discovered" human treat.

My dog wouldnt even eat one....that was the last time I attempted to nibble on one to see if it had changed taste...if your dog wont eat it, I dont recommend you eat it.

Oh, the only reason you don't is that you are not that flexible, and you know it! :P

Sorry about that, I just couldn't pass it up!

So much for posting a serious question here on eplaya expecting to get help with a real world issue! I just went to get a couple cookies and it was a BITCH. the center row was gone, the row on the right was gone and I had to start the row on the left. I couldn't get my fingers around the cookie or between cookies to pull one out, I ended up dropping the bag on the floor. As I stepped forward to pick it up I tripped and fell on my knee, right on the bag smashing every cookie left. That whole row is all crumbs. I will be sending this to the Goddam Capt. maybe he can reassemble them.

We had a similar problem at BMan this year with our brownies. By Sunday the ziploc bag was a mess of crumbs at the bottom. Until we learned how to make no-bake brownies! With ziploc bag closed, mush them together to form new brownie.

Maybe it will work with oreos? (Although they won't look the same...)

I think the more important issue here is, what mysterious fate has befallen the missing right and center row. After a serious investigation into WeDelivers obvious anger mgmt issues, as evidenced by his manhandling and subsequent crushing of the innocent left row, it may be discovered that he had something to do with the other 2 rows going missing.

I have the same problem with the new package. I also find that it doesn't actually close well, so it's just an inconvenient gimmick.

My solution to starting the outside rows is to leave the package on the counter where a teenager will see it.

I am all in favor of a search party. :twisted: Don't worry we're coming! PART-AY!
