Let's Get That Cream Out Of There

David Neevel only likes the chocolate cookie part of the OREO, so he built a machine to remove the creme. (slyt, machine running at 3:27)

Add one more item to the list of Dremel functions. In the spirit of unnecessarily complex processes for incredibly simple tasks, I develop a pulley which in turn activates a winching system tied to my elbow and wrist which, when properly adjusted for height and flexibility, manually pulls my hand to my forehead in a salutation, sir!

If he needs someone to take all the creme off his hands I um...might know a guy.

I feel like there's something wrong with me. I don't like any parts of an Oreo.

Typical engineer. Overengineering. Just turn the damn cookie upside down. The creme falls right off.

Call me when they can build a machine to do my vital job: standing to the side with a hopeful glint in my eye, asking if you're going to eat that creme then.

My brother and I both eat (that should be past tense, as I haven't eaten an oreo in years, but I have to say I'd probably be tempted to do it this way if I were to get my hands on an oreo (and some privacy, because oh the shame) today) our oreos with a knife. Use a butter knife to cleave the cream from the cookies, carefully stack the disks of cream on your plate, dip the cookies in milk and suffer through them quickly, piss and moan when a piece of the shitty cookie inevitably falls into your glass, then eat the delicious, delicious cream last. This is how it's done.

There's a reason they make Double Stuf Oreos but not Only-Wafer Oreos...if people want to destroy their body eating horrible processed shit, they at least want it to be tasty.

Man, just make 'em yourself. (Provided you want to spend an hour or so constructing a reasonable facsimile of a commercial product which, at the end, makes you say "Huh, tastes like an Oreo." Also, if you want to ruin the magic of Oreo filling: It's just Crisco, butter, and sugar.)

The only reason to take an Oreo apart is to put in a slice of banana.

The only reason to take an Oreo apart is to put in a slice of banana. If we're going to get crazy here, I suggest dipping oreos in salsa. It's actually a lot better than you'd think it'd be.

I mean, really.... they're not very good. Nutter Butter Wafers are a superior Nabisco product, but if it's gotta be a boxed cookie, we've got Keebler Fudge Sticks (best quality when frozen), and then there's Thin Mints. I just dunno.

I should alert you cream-lovers to the limited-time Mega Stuf Oreos. I do not know where the other F went.

You know, the Oreos in Canada taste very different than the US ones. And have a different design on the wafer.

Why would you do that when you can buy them separate? Or you could try this. Or this (those things are really good in milk, but pretty expensive). Or you can get the real thing from one of those restaurant wholesale groceries (sold as as ice cream toppings)

Wait, he takes the cream filling out? On purpose? I'm sure this gentleman is well-meaning, but we hardly need to model our Oreo actions on a man who clearly needs to get his head examined.

Next, how about a machine that knocks the ice cream off your cone, or desalinates pickles, or scoops the filling out of your taco, or punches you in the stomach?

Call me when Taco Bell is making a shell out of them. Also did your mom love you enough to make the enticement featured on the Famous Chocolate package? Mine mother did only once, and rightly so. Once that heavencake made a million angels dance on my tongue, all others to come after tasted like war rations snacks made by Hydrox.

desalinates pickles When I was a kid, my grandmother, who was obviously not a New Yorker, made me a hotdog with sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard at my request. She rinsed the sauerkraut and didn't actually put any mustard on it because she thought the kraut was too sour and the mustard was too spicy. I gotta say, de soured kraut is possibly the worst hot dog condiment ever.

you really don't want to click this. What, why? I thought it was common knowledge that the wafers in Oreos are made out of ground up roasted spiders. That's why they're black, not a chocolaty brown, and so crunchy. Though he's right to get rid of the creme. Pureed mealworms and bark grub, that. Too much fat.

Also did your mom love you enough to make the enticement featured on the Famous Chocolate package? Mine mother did only once, and rightly so. Once that heavencake made a million angels dance on my tongue,... I love my kids and I've made that cake. Will do so again next week when my daughter comes to visit prior to moving to Denver, which is 1004.2 miles from me. (This has virtually nothing to do with this post, but I figure if I say "my daughter is moving to Denver" enough between now and then, I'll be able to get through the actual goodbye with minimal tears.)
