Are you a cheese or Oreo cookie junky? [Details]?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) October 22nd, 2015

Cheese releases opiates as you digest it.

Oreo cookies activated more neurons than cocaine or morphine in the pleasure centers of rat’s brains.

The choice between cheese and oreos is easy: I pick sex.

Frankly I can’t think of any food that trumps sex. Mmmm. Wait! Let me think about it again. ....
Nope. Sex wins.

Oreos

FYI: We are not rats.

Cheese first. Then Oreos.

Honestly, if I could only keep one between cheese, Oreos and sex, I’d choose cheese.

I brought a huge hunk of good English cheddar with my lunch today. Mmm.

Cheese. Never been a big Oreo fan. Will eat them if offered (and like them) but have never bought any.

Both, but not at the same time.

CHEESE! It’s worth the addiction.

The opiates from my digesting cheese at lunch are not doing their job. I’ve been staring at pages and pages of contract proposals all day long, and they are still not interesting.

_Seek_'s avatar

I agree. I regularly sometimes bring home a wheel of Brie and make it disappear in a night, and I never get the loopy-headedness that I got while taking Percs after a surgery. Also, opiates suck I don’t understand why anyone likes them.

I often crave real Camembert from Normandy. Sigh. I like the very ripe ones. I learned to eat it in Normandy where they take fresh baguette, ladle on real butter, and top it with soft, ripe Camembert. Oh! God! Here I go!

_Seek_'s avatar

Mmmmmmmmmmm…. I have to get a baking stone for my oven so I can make baguette again.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

You BAKE baguette? swoon

I will not be ashamed.

I like both, but right now my pleasure centers are being stroked by an excellent Merlot. lol

So.
Oreos with cream cheese is like a foodie speedball?

I remember in the 80’s there was a grocery near my house that baked fresh bread. If I happened in while the bread was hot, I’d grab a loaf of French and a block of cheddar. Open the cheese, break off a chunk, then tear the top of the hot bread back and shove the cheese inside. Munch heaven the blocks home.

We only had Hydrox cookies when I was a kid. Less white filling, I think. Do they still make them?

@Seek I’m half crocked here at the ranch. lol
Home alone rockin’ out to some vintage Grateful dead with Lautrec the goose hangin’ out in the dining room with my siameser kitty “Mia” jumping around while I sing to the old tunes. haha

I don’t eat Oreo cookies much these days, but I still love cheese of all sorts.

One time when I was 18, however, I ate an entire package of Oreo cookies and then went to the grocery store to replace them. No one ever knew. I’ve done the same with a block of mozzarella.

Neither. I like both, but not a junky about either. I eat more cheese than Oreos, but I’m feeling over dairied lately, and going to cut back.

I had french Camembert and French Oreos today. (I’m in France!). Camembert wins, no competition. I have also had French wine. I think that wins more…

ibstubro's avatar

I pretty much eat cheese every day, but I can’t say as I get a high off of it, or even that I exactly crave cheese.

I was raised believing that Hydrox were much superior to Oreos. Don’t know of they even make Hydrox any more.

JLeslie's avatar

@ibstubro I remember reading Hydrox was sold again. It’s been produced on and off in the last 20 years. I think the Famous Amos “Oreo” was the Hydrox recipe.

Anyway, I seem to remember the cookie will be on the market again as Hydrox. I’m not sure when.

dxs's avatar

Sharp cheese, yes.
Oreos, yuck. I used to like Oreos, but then I had a dream about them. I forget what I dreamt about, but after that night I’ve never ate an Oreo since.

JLeslie's avatar

A dream about an Oreo? A dream so scary that you never touched another Oreo?

ibstubro's avatar

Probably that the creamy (grossly greasy) middle of an Oreo expanded to the point that you stopped breathing, @dxs?

A stack of 5 might make a decent silencer for a low caliber gun?

dxs's avatar

@ibstubro I think it had something to do with the cookie part actually. I dreamed that when I ate it it tasted like dirt or something. It’s strange because this kind of thing has never happened to me before with food.
