oreos are good for compulsive snacking but they're kind of chemically and gross and I think they've even fiddled with/cheapened the formula in recent years. not that I bake much these days, but i imagine the flavor of the final cake would be improved by using a higher grade dark chocolate wafer (or making some from scratch) and some homemade icing. obviously that's just if you need the crunch and crumble factor - otherwise just making a dark chocolate layer cake with a nice frosting would probably satisfy anybody to whom it was offered, just without the billing of "oreo cake."

We buy them every once in a while for my kids. One thing I noticed when I tried them for the first time as an adult is that there is a somewhat burnt taste to them.

oreos look a lot more appealing than they taste, i think that's the clincher

Oreos are vegan so they are inherently good.

The original video that inspired this discussion is horrible and infantilizing and deserves any amount of scorn heaped upon it, regardless of the merits or demerits of oreo cakes.

Contrary to what your mid-20s, intoxicated, star-fucking, smeary-eyelinered self might think, the warm, worn body you have now is beautiful. It has housed and fed two humans who like to lie on your lap and legs like furniture.

Near as I can make out, it is playing on the idea that vets make 'normal girls' freeze up with fear, because all vets are screwed up head cases who are likely to scream with night terrors or start punching holes in sheetrock walls. ha-ha.
vets are supposed to see this and think "it's funny because it's true."
― A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 18:26 (six years ago) link
i was thinking maybe it's trying to play on the vet's fears about isolation. that they finally open up to someone about what happened and the other person kind of gives an empty supportive response but doesn't really understand, maybe it's impossible for them to understand, etc
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 18:55 (six years ago) link
of course, it would be kind of weird for the vet to be opening about these things while also hitting on someone, so it is kind of weird
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 18:56 (six years ago) link
it's weird ok
I think it said 'hitting on', not 'opening up to'.

I saw a similar macro shared by an old schoolfriend which was complaining that back int' olden days binmen would come into your garden for you and drag the bin out and empty it and replace it and they weren't too lazy and now its terrible that we have to put our own bins on the street the night before. I pointed out that if someone was to start dragging six bins through my close at 8am on my day off and wake me up I would be a lot more angry than the minor unnoticable inconvenience of taking my turn to put the bins out.
