If we MUST eat a entire bag of Oreos.

Which scenario is better?

  • Eat the entire bag in 30 minutes
  • Eat the bag slowly, and evenly throughout a day?

    Technically the entire bag all at once will raise blood sugar higher, causing a bigger spike. The liver can’t deal with that much, so it converts the excess to fat faster than if it is spread out. The bigger problem is making it a habit of surprising your metabolism with huge calorie spikes with starvation in-between. One time isn’t bad enough to be concerned with. Weekly, or even daily will wreck your liver (non alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD is just a couple steps away from cirrhosis)

    Also, I’m no doctor nor do I have any background in the medical field. I just have a more progressed version of NAFLD from eating things like Oreos with both hands for forty years.

    Oreo’s have had all their flavor sucked out of them through enshitification—and to make you eat more to feel satisfied.

    Go to any grocery store (like TJ’s) and just buy “Sandwich Cookies.” THEY taste like Oreos used to.

    (But, you have to eat them fast as they degrade quickly like actual food, something Oreos isn’t.)

    Put them in the other room so that you save some for later, and then keep going back at intervals for just one more, until suddenly there are none left.

    I’ve solved that problem by buying two bags. One to eat all at once. And one to spread out over the rest of the day.

    More enjoyment if you spread it out over the whole day, plus you won’t barf. You might shit liquid, but y’know, lesser evil I’d say.

    If you are intermittent fasting, then eat in one 30 minute window. If not, no fucking idea.

    Scrape off all the cream and eat a bowlful of that, then snack on the burnt cookies the rest of the day.

    Eating sugary stuff that sticks in your teeth continuously throughout the day is the worst possible you can do for the teeth.

    Binge eating sweets is pretty bad for blood sugar.

    So to balance it out eat a third after every meal for max health and enjoyment.

    I love that the question doesn’t specify what “better” means, and we’re all interpreting it in our own ways. Healthier? More enjoyable?

      It’s better for mother nature if we all try to eat a whole bag in 30 seconds.

      Can confirm, I felt like that once and it made me quit Oreos for a long while. I still don’t quite enjoy them as much and do limit how many I eat. So I guess that’s good?
