Why I did this I don't know but yesterday at the market I was hypnotized
by a supermarket sale:

Buy one/Get one free -- Bag of Oreo Cookies. Now I've got more Oreos
than should be allowed under one roof.

I don't have a sweet tooth. I've got an untouched carton of vanilla ice
cream in the freezer from last year (under another supermarket spell).

I remember, as a kid, dunking Oreos in a glass of milk until the bubbles
stopped then pop them into my mouth and they'd dissolve into
deliciousness.

Now I've got Oreos AND milk within reach.

But I have self control. I have self control...

Oreos and milk are heard to beat, but try softening
up a serving of that ice cream and stir in a bunch
(no more, no less) of crumbled Oreos. Mmmmmmmmmm.

The problem I have with Oreos and milk is making the ends meet. I
always end up either with extra milk or not enough to dunk the
remaining cookie. In the first case, that requires another cookie (or
two) to finish up the milk. In the second case, I have to add more
milk to cover the cookie. It's not easy to even up the cookie to milk
ratio. So the reason I end up eating a whole stack of cookies is
because of an accounting problem, not lack of willpower

In any event, the upshot is that I cannot keep cookies at home.

Sue(tm),

Here's where you might concentrate your efforts.

Time how many seconds you dunk the Oreo. You might be removing the dunk
before complete saturation, thereby increasing the probability of excess
milk, causing the obvious decision to draw more cookies from the
package. Your fingers should start sinking into the cookie with mild
pressure, indicating full saturation.

Also pay close attention to milk drips as the Oreo travels from the
glass to your mouth. Leaving a puddle of milk between you and the glass
of milk may explain at a later time why there's not enough milk in the
glass for "the last" cookie, causing the obvious decision to add more
milk to the glass.

You're hooked. Friends don't let friends eat cookies without milk.

I have the same problem with cold breakfast cereal and milk. I do like the
accounting angle.

Some of my friends think I am strange, but I am not a cookie dunker and
I am not even a big fan of drinking milk. Due to my effort to reduce my
carb intake, I rarely eat cookies, even beloved Oreo's. Even when I did
eat Oreo's, I never dunked them in milk or anything else.

Now that I have put the Oreo's cards on the table, I do have a
suggestion for you dunkers. Why not just put a few cookies in an empty
glass (or bowl) and pour your preferred type of milk over said cookies?
That way, you are guaranteed to have cookies saturated with milk. When
the cookies are gone, simply replace them with other cookies in the
bowl, wait a minute for milk saturation to occur, and keep repeating the
process until all the milk is gone. You can use a pair of forks, or a
spoon to extricate the wet cookies from the milk. Or am I missing
something here?

I'm with you on never dunking anything in milk, including Oreos. Wet/soggy
cookies are disgusting. I do, on occasion, dunk donuts in coffee w/cream,
but that's another story.

I think what you're missing is the ritual, nothing more. While you may be
making a practical suggestion, it requires "preparation". Dunking Oreos in
milk is a casual "unplanned" activity. Perhaps all cookies eaten may not
be dunked, as well.

On our trip down to Eugene, I picked up a few packages of Oreos at 79
cents each at the grocery outlet. That was one of the best scores I've
ever gotten there.

Because they can't be soggy bits of cookie mush.
