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?

    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.

    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?

    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.

    As a Canadian, unfortunately the answer is now to not eat them at all because they are an American product. This breaks my heart because I am the type of person that would eat an entire bag throughout the day :(

    You’re eating those as a treat, not for your health. You probably know the negative impact that sugar and trans fats have, so if you’re going to treat yourself, I’d say make sure to make it count.

    Do you get more overall pleasure from a little bit of enjoyment throughout the day or from a lot of enjoyment for a short amount of time? Maybe half now and half later or tomorrow? That’s how I decide how to eat/do stuff that I enjoy but know can negatively impact my health if I over do it.

    If you do want to make it less unhealthy though, try to make sure they’re not the only thing in your stomach and rinse your mouth after you’re done eating them.

      Eat them right before a big, protein heavy meal. The sugar will stimulate insulin production which will help to process more of the protein. And then have a couple for dessert.

          You can buy unflavoured whey concentrate or isolate in bulk for very cheap. I used to use it to make protein pancakes for breakfast all the time.

          Nom nom nom.

          Edit: I see you’re vegan. Not sure I’ve seen unflavoured vegan ones.

    A dentist once answered this question. Better to eat it at once than soak your teeth in sugar for the entire day. Even better if you brush your teeth after, of course.

      Better for your teeth, sure. Nutritionally, I’m pretty sure it’s better to spread it out.

        Nutritionally, it’s terrible either way.

        I think your body would have a better time with it spread out over the course of the entire day. However you’re still absorbing an insane amount of sugar in a single day.

        There’s a chance all at once would result in more of it being pooped out and thus be better … but it’s so close to just eating sugar I expect you’d absorb it and then your body would go into overdrive producing insulin.

        Fine every now and then, but regularly it would be insanely bad no matter which way you do it.

    In a large bowl, combine 750ml of your closest booze and the Oreos. Use a potato masher to create a smooth yet chunky consistency. Best enjoyed naked while binge watching Bojack Horseman.
