But why is that even there? Are people really eating only some of the Oreos and then putting the rest away?

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 26 points 3 weeks ago

Not willingly

[–] sockman@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, isn't it normal to eat a whole sleeve of Oreos and throw up on your mother's bed?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

My parents would never allow that, but among my excesses in college: pulling all nighters with a package of double stuffed and a 2L bottle of Mountain Dew. Now I feel nauseous even thinking about it, and my heart probably wouldn’t hold out

[–] javasux@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Whoa are you the sus guy

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Well you see, moderation is key.

  • take 2-4, reseal the package
  • repeat until done
[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Like the "servings" unit for nutritions which lists 2 oreos. In a pack of 15. removed, I'm gonna eat the whole package. It's the rule. You can't just have 2 and then put the pack away. Like, wtf?!

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You know what else needs to be banned? A bag of chips having 1.8 servings in it.

1 sure, 2... ok. But .8 of a serving? Get the fuck out of here.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

What about cans of spray oil that have hundreds of servings but say 0 calories? No shit, you've got no detectable calories when a serving is a 1/4 second of a spray.

I do. A standard Oreo is 10g of easy, enjoyable sugar. If my blood sugar is on a downswing and I project I'll get too low, I grab one or two out of the cupboard.

They are a medical supply and are dosed as such.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

I guess I'm an overdosing junkie then...

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

I unhinge my jaw like a snake and consume all the Oreos simultaneously.

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly. This is a regression, not an advancement. Now the package tries to close on me mid gluttony.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 41 points 3 weeks ago

Yes but we also witnessed absolute horrors like payment plans for pizza and microtransactions in video games.

[–] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

These days there are even some resealable packaging whee the seal doesn't get ripped off or torn when opening the packet. What a time to be alive.

[–] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'll never cease to be amazed at the wonders of technology

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Kind of like how it took decades for us to figure out to put wheels on luggage. I'm sure there are tons of things waiting to be invented that people will look back on us eventually and wondering what took us so long to figure out something so obvious.

[–] pikmeir@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

My guess is wheels would not have helped when everywhere is dirt and cobblestones. Wheels appeared when we needed them.

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

If you pave it, wheels will come

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

A wheel is never late, nor are they ever early. They always arrive exactly when they mean to.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

They could have used bigger wheels

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

The ones where the flap still covers 2/3 of the oreos when open?

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Let's see AI come up with that! Checkmate!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

YBC Noir > Oreos

(If you ever find yourself in Japan, go into any supermarket and try them - cheaper and nicer-tasting.)

[–] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'll make sure to go to Japan just to try a different version of oreos

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I wanna go for their unique KitKat flavors. I guess I can try their Oreos, too, if I ever actually make it there.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Is the package resealable though?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Noir is two vacuum-sealed rolls in a larger bag as opposed to opening a container with all of the cookies.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

When I was younger I found it stupid they started putting candy in resealable bags. Felt like a waste of plastic.

I know what you are thinking. "But it falls out if I put the bag in pocket/backpack/whatever-" No. Skill issue. ...Usually.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

I was thinking about the many cables for iPhones.

And the invention of the reusable condom.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

We watched sodapop bottle companies perfect the easy peel tab on the plastic, and then slowly cheap out until it barley releases one bottle if your lucky.
