Scientists invent 3D-printable Oreometer to figure out why Oreo frosting only sticks to one side
Why do we twist Oreos apart and why does the creme always only stick to one of the separated cookie wafers?!
A team of mechanical engineering students at MIT decided to get to the bottom of this conundrum. MIT News:
