There’s a tool for dipping your Oreos in Milk easier ( or water if you can’t have milk and you are like my friend who thinks they are toooo sweet)
What’s the tool? Who designed it? Now I’m intrigued!
Umm I don’t know who invented it but it is called the Dipr. It is a long curved stick to fit in the glass and it holds the Oreo in a snug postition so you can easily dunk your Oreo in milk without getting all wet with milk.
I just looked it up and it sells at Bed Bath and Beyond. I’m going this weekend!
This tool is called The Dior and it’s supposed to be a hook-like tool to dip your cookies without loosing any part of it. I have not tried it but I might someday.
(Ruby is now talking)Double- stuf is a lie! It’s rigged! The frosting/icing is not exactly doubled! Ahhhhhhhhh! It’s actually only 1.86 times bigger instead of double! It’s a tragedy! It’s a trick!( Fiona is now talking) But it’s ok because we don’t need too much sugar and the cookie is the same size. (Ruby)But it’s not! It’s a marketing disaster. And Oreo thins. Don’t get me started with these. Fiona doesn’t like the filling so she’s okay with it but it’s not! (Fiona) Americans already eat way too much junk food! I think it is ok that it is A LITTLE BIT under double!(Ruby) .14 percent under!! Just a little. Our life’s are on the line of extinction! Don’t let this marketing deal get away! It’s a big deal! (Fiona) I do agree that they SHOULD NOT call it double stuff if it isn’t even DOUBLE! THEY SHOULDNT CALL IT DOUBLE STUFF, THEY SHOULD CALL IT 1.86 TIMES MORE!!!!(RUBY) I know you get my point but what would Einstein think of this! It’s a disgrace to human kind!
You girls need to make a video of this! 🙂
