Oreo Outcomes

The Friday File: To improve the odds of getting the interior Oreo cream to glom onto both the top and bottom biscuit when twisted, researchers at MIT used a rheometer to squish and twist the biscuits in opposite directions. After over 1,000 attempts using different flavors, twisting speeds, and amounts of pressure, they found the cream is stronger than sticky and thus sticks to one side 80% of the time!
