Twist. Lick. Dunk. Follow these easy steps and you're on your way to taste bud nirvana.
Let's raise our voices -- swallow the cookie first -- in praise of the Oreo. Wouldn't you want to be remembered on your 100th birthday? Someone should alert Willard Scott.
March 6, 1912 -- the day some lucky kid ate the first Oreo. Was the twist-lick-dunk ritual born then as well or did it evolve over years of after-school snack experimentation?
Think about it. There are no instructions on the package, so how do we know to take these glorious little sandwiches apart? Instinct, I say and, maybe even a legitimate way to play with our food. Mom might nag about mixing your peas and mashed potatoes, but no mother would ever complain about playing with your cookies -- not this kind, anyway. It's simply un-American.
So this March 6th pour yourself a glass of milk and dunk those cookies like you've never dunked before. Diets be damned. You can sweat a little harder tomorrow. Today it's all about the Oreo and all your fond cookie munching memories.

Note: There should be a registered mark after Oreo but I don't know how to make it on the computer, so lawyers please relax.
