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?
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 :(
What about Canadian off-brand? Is that a thing? Like at Canadamart or Tim Horton’s or wherever y’all shop?
technically it’s an off off brand because Oreos themselves are an off brand
True, but Hydrox is also American, so no dice.
darn :(, I tried
We have “Eat the Middle First” but they’re not that great sadly
So Canada doesn’t have decent cookies either?
I tried them once (in EU) to see what those famous cookies were like and they’re crap.
Not even mediocre.
Yes that’s very on point for the question being asked, thanks.
Ehhh, I’d say that, on average and for most purposes, spread out is better.
Less of a hit to your system. No big blood sugar spikes, which reduces the worst aspects if swallowing an entire package to the minimum it gets.
That being said, expect digestive issues to linger. You’ve got a lot of fats, the coloring, and the sugars playing havoc with your guts.
Expect to need a lot of tooth brushing unless you just enjoy having plaque and acid build-up messing with your teeth.
But I’d say that the risks of big spikes in blood sugar are higher than those risks. It could, in the right circumstances, kill you. And the way some of the more recent information regarding the role of sugar in atherosclerosis, and maybe other cardiovascular illness, is looking, every big spike is whittling time off of your heart more than a bunch of little ones will.
One of the first things I did when I first moved out from my parents is eat a whole bag of Oreos for breakfast because I could.
It turns your poop black.
Yup :)
I’ve had to clean up oreo poop lol.
A lot of older patients tend to get a “sweet tooth”, and they’ll go nuts on cookies and cakes.
Oreo poops aren’t the worst poops, but they look bad and are super sticky.
Oreo poops aren’t the worst poops, but they look bad and are super sticky.
What are the worst poops? Curry night?
Well, understand this is subjective.
But, diabetic poop is probably the poop that is worst to clean up, depending on how well controlled their disease is. When it isn’t, the smell is like rotten fruit mixed with sewage. It’s also usually both runny and sticky when that happens, so it’s a bitch to get off of skin, and it gets into every nook and cranny.
You definitely run into infections that are going to have people spraying poo everywhere, and most of the pathogens that do it make the smell rough too. However, it tends to be so watery that it cleans up easy. C diff, for example, you might need a face shield, but it wipes up easy.
Wtf kind of cafeteria is serving these old people?
Fecal contamination is a fact of life or, put succinctly, shit happens.
for most purposes, spread out is better. Less of a hit to your system
The digestive system is not built for boredom.
It works best with lots of changes and irregularities. Single events of such stress are no problem at all (only many repeated events of the same stress are bad). The same goes for a day or two of staying hungry.
Yeah, but it’s also not meant to process a giant package of processed fats, levels of sugar we haven’t had time to adapt to, or the colorant used that is known to irritate the bowel.
Which is why folks that go on a cookie spree like that end up constipated or loose and crampy. Which, yeah there’s some folks that would be able to take a giant hit of junk like that without noticing it, but I’ve had to clean up the mess left by Oreos when patients would go crazy on them for one reason or another (often dementia, sadly).
No, it isn’t going to kill you, or send you to the hospital purely by the digestive side of things, but it can fuck up your day lol.
Also, you’re misrepresenting not only what I said, but what the digestive tract is “built” for. It doesn’t actually benefit from irregularity of diet. It can handle it, but eating a fairly stable, non irritating diet keeps both the gut flora and the associated hormonal products produced in the intestines at a reliable operation. The more you disturb the system, the less stable the system. When it comes to gut flora and serotonin production in the gut, high sugar intake disrupts in a way that can have lingering effects; anything from a day to a week.
Don’t mistake the difference between a varied healthy diet and shoving irritants down the pipes. They aren’t the same thing.
I was thinking the opposite. The first one s a huge sugar hit, and every following one.
- If you spread it out, your body efficiently digests them to maximize the sugar spikes, to maximize the calories absorbed to turn into fat
- if you do them all in one sitting, you only get one sugar spike and much of the fat and sugar won’t even be digested
Nah, when you’re dealing with carbs as simple as sugars, they’re broken down and absorbed very efficiently. Some of it even gets absorbed in the mouth before you swallow. So the spikes from stuff that is that sugar packed it can bump up blood sugar levels high enough to throw your whole system out of whack.
Basically, it triggers a massive insulin dump into the blood stream, with all that entails.
And, since the body can’t use that much at once, it’s more likely to get converted to fat than smaller bumps.
Fats, compared to sugars, take longer to get broken down and absorbed. That process starts with saliva in the mouth, but doesn’t really get going until later. Iirc, you typically won’t be taking in any of the fats until it hits the small intestine.
Its better not to eat entire bag of Oreo in one day but if you must then its better to spread it over the day to avoid creating large sugar spike in your body.
You also won’t upset your stomach as much if you spread it out.
I don’t think this is true unless you’re diabetic.
For non-diabetics insulin will store all the glucose just fine. Even if you have an elevated level for several hours I don’t think that’s particularly problematic to your health. It’s problematic to diabetics because their levels are elevated perpetually.

Good to see the party pooper comments from Reddit made the jump. 🙄
Sounds more like stack overflow lol what’s better A or B? You’re an idiot! Use C!
ok

Doing some research I found Matt Stonie ate 5 bags in 18 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzd8KLryjJM

The package is conveniently divided into breakfast, lunch, and dinner rows.
We call that doing lines around these parts.
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.
Fatty liver or rotten teeth… Tough choice.
Just brush your teeth after each cookie.
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.
So do a line after you dine?
Smash them up and dump the crumbs into a glass. Now it’s a drink and no longer subject to the tyrannical nutritional guidelines of the medical establishment, leaving you free to consume it as you please.
Or grind it into fine dust and sprinkle it into your tobacco, stupid!
I put about 5 (or sometimes 10) into a glass of milk then mash it up with a spoon. Makes a great smoothie. Hell that might be a good breakfast idea
Oh, we must.
If I had to choose between those options, I’d eat them slowly throughout the day.
But in reality, it’s two sittings: one row in the afternoon, and the rest at the unhealthiest of times, around 9pm.
No good story has ever started with, "I ate a bag of oreos over the course of a whole day. "
I’m pretty sure that’s how MLK started his speech
Probably why he had all those dreams.
U bastard. U just reminded me I have a KitKat to eat. Do I eat the entire thing or spread it over the day?
Yes! Both. And Second Kitkat
Its one of those large blocks tho
Ok, I guess just break it up into smaller pieces :)
Is it already in the freezer and ready?
Ice cold
Better to eat it at once. Your system can work away the high blood sugar level and then go back to normal.
If you create high blood sugar again and again, it is stressful for your pancreas all day long. Do that often and you will get overweight, and then diabetes.
Eat em all at once. Right before your appointment at the dentist to have your teeth cleaned
It depends on what you want your poop to look like later.
oh i don’t plan on pooping.
Do you just let it happen when the time comes?
I miss the spontaneity of my youth.
