If we MUST eat a entire bag of Oreos.

Which scenario is better?

  • Eat the entire bag in 30 minutes
  • Eat the bag slowly, and evenly throughout a day?

    I’ve solved that problem by buying two bags. One to eat all at once. And one to spread out over the rest of the day.

    Oreo’s have had all their flavor sucked out of them through enshitification—and to make you eat more to feel satisfied.

    Go to any grocery store (like TJ’s) and just buy “Sandwich Cookies.” THEY taste like Oreos used to.

    (But, you have to eat them fast as they degrade quickly like actual food, something Oreos isn’t.)

    More enjoyment if you spread it out over the whole day, plus you won’t barf. You might shit liquid, but y’know, lesser evil I’d say.

    If you are intermittent fasting, then eat in one 30 minute window. If not, no fucking idea.

    Scrape off all the cream and eat a bowlful of that, then snack on the burnt cookies the rest of the day.

    Eating sugary stuff that sticks in your teeth continuously throughout the day is the worst possible you can do for the teeth.

    Binge eating sweets is pretty bad for blood sugar.

    So to balance it out eat a third after every meal for max health and enjoyment.

    I love that the question doesn’t specify what “better” means, and we’re all interpreting it in our own ways. Healthier? More enjoyable?

      It’s better for mother nature if we all try to eat a whole bag in 30 seconds.

      Can confirm, I felt like that once and it made me quit Oreos for a long while. I still don’t quite enjoy them as much and do limit how many I eat. So I guess that’s good?

    As a Canadian, unfortunately the answer is now to not eat them at all because they are an American product. This breaks my heart because I am the type of person that would eat an entire bag throughout the day :(

    You’re eating those as a treat, not for your health. You probably know the negative impact that sugar and trans fats have, so if you’re going to treat yourself, I’d say make sure to make it count.

    Do you get more overall pleasure from a little bit of enjoyment throughout the day or from a lot of enjoyment for a short amount of time? Maybe half now and half later or tomorrow? That’s how I decide how to eat/do stuff that I enjoy but know can negatively impact my health if I over do it.

    If you do want to make it less unhealthy though, try to make sure they’re not the only thing in your stomach and rinse your mouth after you’re done eating them.

      Eat them right before a big, protein heavy meal. The sugar will stimulate insulin production which will help to process more of the protein. And then have a couple for dessert.

          no that’s probably because whey tastes absolutely awful so they try to cover up the flavor.

          it’s usually a synthetic sweetener and I’ve found plant based protein powders are usually less guilty of it.

            I’m vegan anyway, so I go for soy protein! But I’d like an unflavored one to add to my oats and flavour them a different way. First world problem though.

          You can buy unflavoured whey concentrate or isolate in bulk for very cheap. I used to use it to make protein pancakes for breakfast all the time.

          Nom nom nom.

          Edit: I see you’re vegan. Not sure I’ve seen unflavoured vegan ones.
