New taste Sensation, Frozen Oreos

I have discovered a new taste sensation. 

You know how scientists/inventors may be trying for one thing and end up with something else just as viable? I think my favorite, and this may be an urban myth, but I am pretty sure it happened . . a scientist was working on a "recipe" for hand lotion, or something similar to that. It wasn't coming out exactly right . . it had the properties they wanted  but wasn't quite 100% on. Somehow, this liquid got spilled on the floor. It did a wonderful job or removing the wax on the floor . . . . maybe it was nail polish remover . . . it has been a long time since I taught science.

Anyway . . . what they were trying for became something else . . a user friendly floor wax remover that was gentle on the hands . . . what woman wouldn't have wanted that?


But, I digress . . . . the husband brought home cookies from Walgreen's. (He does cigarette runs almost every morning and I never now what he will bring home that he found on sale.) They were their version of Double Stuff Oreos. 


I am not a a big fan of the DS Oreos, but I do like the regular ones. The Walgreen version . . . I like them.


A week, or so, ago, it was quite humid. The Oreos had been opened and were getting that "soft" feeling. Still tasted fine, but the cookie part wasn't crunchy as it should be. I threw them into the freeze hoping that it would "re-crunch" them. To my surprise, they were awfully good. The stuffing in the center was very hard . . it was bite-able, but very firm. 


I had discovered a new way to eat Oreos . . FROZEN ! ! ! ! There is just something about biting and chewing something hard that I enjoy and these cookies are now in that group.

  3. P.S. - I like how you have that science intro that makes it sound like eating frozen Oreos for breakfast is legit & scientific! :-)
