Oreo Twists, Raspberry and Vanilla Flavour, 157 g

Product Information

In my mind, the perfect twist absolutely results in one clean cookie and one creme-y one. Isn't that the whole premise behind a Double Stuf Oreo — that a higher creme-to-cookie ratio is better? When I twist open an Oreo, I know I'll be able to enjoy a creme-free cookie and a creme-loaded cookie. I enjoy the juxtaposition. Balance in all things. There is no end to the Oreo-related debates. And recently, another divide in the world of Oreo eaters came to my attention: what the perfect twist looks like. The team’s study isn’t simply a sweet diversion from bread-and-butter research; it’s also an opportunity to make the science of rheology accessible to others. To that end, the researchers have designed a 3D-printable “Oreometer” — a simple device that firmly grasps an Oreo cookie and uses pennies and rubber bands to control the twisting force that progressively twists the cookie open. Instructions for the tabletop device can be found here.

Curious as to whether others had explored the connection between Oreos and rheology, Owens found mention of a 2016 Princeton University study in which physicists first reported that indeed, when twisting Oreos by hand, the cream almost always came off on one wafer. So, why does the cookie’s cream glom to one side rather than splitting evenly between both? The manufacturing process may be to blame. Emblazoned with bold stripes and coloured lights from floor to ceiling, a captivating window will show how the most familiar of items can be turned into something unique and conversation starting. A group of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology dug deep into the science by devisingan Oreometer, a device designed to split the iconic Oreo cookie with a specific amount of force. The goal was to create a perfect split every single time: one side a clean cookie, the other side with all the filling.There’s the fascinating problem of trying to get the cream to distribute evenly between the two wafers, which turns out to be really hard,” says Max Fan, an undergraduate in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. Held in London’s Soho, a hotspot for creativity and design, visitors will be transported into a world which turns the everyday into the extraordinary, the moment they step through the door.

The understanding gained from the properties of Oreo cream could potentially be applied to the design of other complex fluid materials. My 3D printing fluids are in the same class of materials as Oreo cream,” she says. “So, this new understanding can help me better design ink when I’m trying to print flexible electronics from a slurry of carbon nanotubes, because they deform in almost exactly the same way.” The researchers also measured the torque required to twist open an Oreo, and found it to be similar to the torque required to turn a doorknob and about 1/10th what’s needed to twist open a bottlecap. The cream’s failure stress — i.e. the force per area required to get the cream to flow, or deform — is twice that of cream cheese and peanut butter, and about the same magnitude as mozzarella cheese. Judging from the cream’s response to stress, the team classifies its texture as “mushy,” rather than brittle, tough, or rubbery.That colourful pop-up was the OREO Twists Lab– a one-stop-shop for art, creativity and customisation, to celebrate OREO Twists hitting supermarket shelves nationwide.

While Oreo cream may not appear to possess fluid-like properties, it is considered a “yield stress fluid” — a soft solid when unperturbed that can start to flow under enough stress, the way toothpaste, frosting, certain cosmetics, and concrete do. London based designer Rina Wanti, known for her creds in Mandala and Henna design has seen her create pieces for the likes of Elton John and Burberry.

The laboratory instrument measures the affects on a fluid by moving one of two discs it is sandwiched between. The scientists, unfortunately, were not able to decipher how to manipulate the perfect split Oreo split with equal cream on each side of the cookie.
