That is if you do at all.....

Psychologists have discovered that the manner in which people eat Oreo cookies provides great insight into their personalities. Choose which method best describes your favorite method of eating Oreos:

1. The whole thing all at once.
2. One bite at a time
3. Slow and methodical nibbles examining the results of each bite afterwards.
4. In little feverous nibbles.
5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee...).
6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie.
7. Twisted apart, the inside, and toss the cookie.
8. Just the cookie, not the inside.
9. I just like to lick them, not eat them.
10. I don't have a favorite way because I don't like Oreo.

and the answers are here, just to reduce undecided comparison

I rarely eat them due to the manufacturer choosing a foreign country to us to manufacture them for us. I suspect they are also made in the US for the US market. I also suspect sumthing that dark is not chocolate, they are almost black!

EDIT - possible answer found here...

Got some more room in my head now that is sorted :)

I scored a few packets celebrating 100th birthday (early 2012 so must have been a useby date coming up) of the Oreo discounted to 50c a pack, so how could I resist? How did I eat both on my own within eight hours ??

Apparently you can't trust me with your children :D

They are surprisingly popular in Asia.........Luckily I'm "normal" but not really a huge fan.

Anyone who hasn't done that didn't grow up in Australia that's for sure :p As for Oreos, I think I number 6'ed that last one I had, which was a few years ago now...

I know right! We're in Australia where we can get Tim Tams! Why eat Oreos when you can get Tim Tams?? :mad:

I use tea, or hot milo - not a coffee drinker. I think all school kids should be made to suck tea or milo through a tim tam at least once a week :twisted:

I'm in Thailand so no Tim Tam's here..........I did the bight off each end a few years ago, I could empty a mug of coffee and a packet in about 10 minutes, I guess that's part of the reason I've got diabetes and fooked arteries now lol.

The vanilla Oreos are much better than the black ones.

Sacrilege! The vanilla oreo's are no way near as good as the originals.

And yes, the US does get US-made Oreo's. And a good sight cheaper than our price, I think a pack about 3-4x the size of ours is about $2.

Tim-Tam's I can take or leave, but I have shipped a lot of packs to the US for a friend who loves them. He can get the original's at some retailer (Boston Market I think they're called), but they're $4 a pack over there and they don't have the other flavours available.

My method is #2. First time I'ver been considered "normal" :)

Probably due to some muppet posting meat that spoiled in transit, possibly spoiling other packages as it leaked everywhere I'd imagine :rolleyes:
