When it comes to snacks, few things can beat Oreo. These iconic cookies are delicious and comforting and can be eaten in all sorts of ways. Some people prefer to dunk them in milk, others take them apart before eating, while some just eat them straight from the package like they are popcorn.

Now, we know better than to tell you how to eat your cookies. However, in case you are wondering, there is a correct way to eat Oreos, and it might be familiar to more than a few people.

How to Eat Oreos?

A while back, Oreo’s U.S. marketing director Marion Delgutte Saenen shared an “official recommendation” on how to eat their beloved cookies. In an email correspondence with Yahoo News, Delgutte Saenen said that the Oreo team believes the “twist, lick, and dunk” technique is the way to go.

This means that you first take out the cookie and twist it to reveal the cream. Then you lick the cream to sample it before dunking the Oreo in a glass of milk and finishing it off.

While Delgutte Saenen didn’t share why this is the best way to eat the cookie, we have to admit that it makes complete sense. You get to experience the full flavor spectrum of Oreo with a single cookie. Just don’t get carried away and eat the cream instead of just sampling it.
