Oreo-Milk Symmetry Breaking (OM-Violation)

AI Thread Summary
Dipping Oreos in milk yields different results depending on the method used. When Oreos are simply tossed into milk, they don't absorb liquid effectively, remaining less saturated. However, holding and dipping the Oreo results in quicker saturation and enhanced flavor. This phenomenon raises questions about the mechanics of absorption and could warrant further exploration or publication. Additionally, a reference to a documentary involving a British physicist discussing biscuit absorption in tea was mentioned, although it did not cover Oreos specifically. The discussion also humorously touches on the oddities of Google image search results related to "Oreo-Milk Symmetry," leading to playful speculation about privacy and online tracking.

So I've found the strangest thing with oreos and milk. I have a glass of milk and when I just toss an oreo inside of it and let it sit, even for the longest time, it doesn't really get all saturated with milk and delicious. However, when I hold the oreo while dipping it in the milk, it becomes saturtaed and becomes oh so delicious... why in the world could this happen? It's like the cookie becomes soggy way faster if its held in on its side! Should I publish this result?

Why is it that when I typed http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Oreo-Milk Symmetry&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi" into a Google image search, I got this for the first hit?

I have seen a documentary involving a british physicist confronting his model to his measurements of biscuit in tea (seriously, I saw it with own eyes, I wish I could find the reference). He did not talk about oreo in milk however, so it is probably original results you have in your hands !

edit
I found him again !

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
