I’ve noticed a lot of people don’t like oreos because of the black cookie part. That part isn’t suppose to be hard or “stale,” if it is your oreos are too old. Let’s talk about shelflifes. Shelflifes: In the snackfood world, shelflife is EVERYTHING. It’s priority is even above taste and mouthfeel. There’s a joke about twinkies, that they were all baked at the same time years ago. In general their shelf life is around [twenty-six days.](http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/twinkies.asp) Which means, they’re baked, packed, shipped, sold or thrown out within a month. That’s about average. Fresh food (like at wegmans, eg) has a shelflife of 12-24 hours. Danger zones, fresh foods, etc: The danger zone for food susceptible to bacteria is from [38ºF-140ºF](http://www.bfhd.wa.gov/forms/fact/TC02.pdf). For all “unprocessed” food this is important. If food is in this zone for 3 hours, it’s garbage. Because of preserving techniques, a lot of the food we buy doesn’t need to abide by the danger zone rules. Take that however you want it. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes not so much. Certain fast food is coated in an rapeseed oil/dextrose mix. This makes it inconsumable to bacteria, and although it’s not extraordinarily bad for you, it’s about the same as drinking rapeseed oil by itself. In french fries, for example, the bacteria can’t penetrate the layer of oil to get to the starch. Therefor it won’t mold or deteriorate. Back to the Oreos. How many people have eaten an oreo and thought it tasted fresh? Anyone? The shelflife on doritos is about the same as twinkies. The shelf life on fresh fruit is less than two weeks. The shelflife for chicken is less than a week. The shelf life for oreos? Ideally, you should buy oreos when their expiration date is _five months_ from date of purchase. If you buy them tomorrow, they should expire mid-june. cliffs: buy oreos with an exp. date five months from purchase date for fresh taste twinkies explode if microwaved for 45 seconds grapes, cut in half, start on fire if microwaved mcdonalds coats fries in oil and dextrose and will never break down ---

is there a point of is this just a rant? OR are you just trying to educate everyone about oreos because of an intense love? ---

There are two amazing snackfoods in life, a krispy kreme off the production line and a freshly made oreo. and krispy kreme is shut down =\ definitely not a ranttho , I went to school for culinary school for a couple of years and love fresh food so I thought I’d share. ---

my new thing is double stuft oreos, for some reason they have a much better texture. I was against them because I didnt want an overload with the stuffing, but its not the case. does anyone ‘dunk’ like I do? I put the dry cookie in my mouth, take a drink of milk and let it soak for a second, then chew it. That way my fingers dont get frozen by the milk and there arent any chunks at the bottom of the glass. works best when there isnt that much milk left and your hand doesnt fit in the glass… ---

Best way ever. and the trifecta is, put a cd (bottom side up) in the microwave, put a cut grape in half ontop, and then put a glass cover over it. Fuckin’ light show! 😃 ---

lol shit, ive never tried the CD on the bottom. Pics to come If I remember correctly, dont you need to cut just through it just enough so the skin is still holding it together? Or do you just cut the whole thing in half? ---

The two halves’ wet sides have to be touching or just about touching, but the skin doesn’t need to be connected. That’d make it easier tho maybe. +karma for pics, hahah ---
