Triple-Double Happiness

Sorry Manning brothers, but I have a bone to pick with you.  Payton and Eli commit a horrible crime when competing in the DSRL.  I give them bonus points for having a cup of milk on hand because you can't get a much more classic combination than cookies and milk.  That said...they're licking the icing off of the Oreo!!!!  This isn't let's find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie pop (I never did have the patience for that).  It's an Oreo for pete's sake!  Everybody knows the icing is the best part, and you save if for last.  Or else, what do you do once the icing is gone, and you're just left with the cookie part?  Ok, ok.  I have met a few people who actually prefer the cookie over the icing.  That's just odd to me though.

Remember the joy of trying to pry the two ends of the Oreo off and the rush of intense exhilaration when one cookie comes off clean and the entire piece of icing is left sticking to the other half?  It's not weird that I get excited by that, is it?  There are also mega bonus points for getting the cookies to come apart without breaking!  I know some avid backers of the twist-and-pull method while others, myself included, make use of the classic thumbs-as-a-wedge (man that's nerdy) approach to separate the cookies.

In the era before double-stuffed, I'd make my own by combining the two halves - I was so ahead of my time.  And then Nabisco made possible the world of the quadruple icing Oreo combination when they rolled out the double stuffed!  Wow was that good.  Tip top godbite material right there.

And now they've given us...the Triple-Double Oreo.

Not only is it twice the icing, but it's double the flavors.

Just like those double-decker PB&J sandwiches that all the cool kids ate at lunch.

Almost like a vanilla, chocolate, twist soft-serve cone...but not.

Using the thumbs-as-a-wedge approach.

 

Clean off both sides...

...and then combine...

...for one awesome cookie.  Consuming this cookie in anything more than one bite will place you in direct violation of the godbite.  It also almost reminds me of a double patty hamburger slapped between two pieces of fried chicken.  I actually haven't eaten anything like that, but I'd like to.
