I LUP OREO I LUP OREO I LUP OREO I LUP OREO I LUP OREO!!!!
If anyone ever asked what was my favourite cookie of all time, it’s gotta be Oreo. Heck, Oreo is a part of my life, much like other things I grew up with like Milo, Ribena and ICE-CREAM!!!
I remember how I used to steal Oreos from the jar when I was a kid, hoping my mum would never find out (though she always did because she loved them too and she almost took a mental stock count of the Oreos every day).
Then there was when I went to the UK to study alone. Being overseas can be depressing sometimes seeing that everything is different and it feels good sometimes to have some things that remind you of home.
I remember when I had my first Oreo there, I had a little quick flashback of myself being in my home in Penang munching on my jar of Oreos… far far away from that cold and tiny apartment I lived in in London. It felt nostalgic, and it felt good!
What I later learned about Oreos is that different people tend to have different ways to eat it.
The original Oreo has a traditional routine where to eat an Oreo, first you:
1) TWIST – Twist both cookies apart to open it
2) Lick – Lick the cream
3) Dunk – Dunk the Oreo into milk
Well… I have my Oreos differently and it’s something I have carried on with me since I was a boy.
Here’s how I have my Oreos.
First I twist to take off the top and bottom.
Then … I don’t “LICK” the cream… no I don’t…. I scrape the entire thing off and put the cream all in my mouth.
I let the cream then slowly melt in my mouth…. Yummmmm.
Then only do I go for the remaining biscuits.
Now Oreo seems to have a tendency of knowing what people want. Addicted to the cream in between the cookie, I never seem to get enough of it.
So you can imagine, when I first started eating Oreos when I was young, it was okay.
Then… they came out with the DOUBLE STUFF OREOS… and holy crap were they good!
AND NOBODY HAD BETTER CALL ME FAT!!!!!!
Anyway before I end, I’m gonna do a poll on my blog sidebar among my readers.
Tell me how you guys have your Oreos.
Do you:
a) Twist, Lick and Dunk
b) Twist, scrape off cream and swallow cream.
c) Eat it like a regular cookie.
Do the poll on my sidebar.
I lup my Oreos.
