According to researchers at Connecticut College, Oreo Cookies are as addicitive as Cocaine.

What the what? Seriously? You mean to tell me that hungry rats gravitated more towards Oreos than Rice Cakes? And that the rats ate the creme filling first? Hold up…high fat, high sugar foods are addicitive?

Come on now…the study did not need to torture poor rats with rice cakes in order to determine what we already know – that Oreos are AWESOME, and addicitive, and delicious, and have yummy creme filling, AND activate happiness neurons in the brain. Aaaaand we are full circle, Oreo Cookies make people happy.

Here’s a link to the study’s details…

This also reminds me – I love sugar cookies too, so thanks to a friend who planted the idea, the other week I made sugar cookie wrapped Oreos. They were delish! I will make them again and bring them to work and snap pix of everyone eating these double delectable delights! There’s gonna be so many happiness neurons activiating in my collegues brains, they are not gonna know what to do with themselves!
