The ones where the flap still covers 2/3 of the oreos when open?

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 3 points 14 hours ago

When I was younger I found it stupid they started putting candy in resealable bags. Felt like a waste of plastic.

I know what you are thinking. "But it falls out if I put the bag in pocket/backpack/whatever-" No. Skill issue. ...Usually.

[–] javasux@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (6 children)

But why is that even there? Are people really eating only some of the Oreos and then putting the rest away?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Well you see, moderation is key.

  • take 2-4, reseal the package
  • repeat until done
[–] Toribor@corndog.social 5 points 12 hours ago

I unhinge my jaw like a snake and consume all the Oreos simultaneously.

[–] sockman@sh.itjust.works 11 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, isn't it normal to eat a whole sleeve of Oreos and throw up on your mother's bed?

[–] javasux@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Whoa are you the sus guy

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

My parents would never allow that, but among my excesses in college: pulling all nighters with a package of double stuffed and a 2L bottle of Mountain Dew. Now I feel nauseous even thinking about it, and my heart probably wouldn’t hold out

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 day ago

Not willingly

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago

Exactly. This is a regression, not an advancement. Now the package tries to close on me mid gluttony.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Like the "servings" unit for nutritions which lists 2 oreos. In a pack of 15. removed, I'm gonna eat the whole package. It's the rule. You can't just have 2 and then put the pack away. Like, wtf?!

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know what else needs to be banned? A bag of chips having 1.8 servings in it.

1 sure, 2... ok. But .8 of a serving? Get the fuck out of here.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What about cans of spray oil that have hundreds of servings but say 0 calories? No shit, you've got no detectable calories when a serving is a 1/4 second of a spray.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 37 points 1 day ago

Yes but we also witnessed absolute horrors like payment plans for pizza and microtransactions in video games.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

I was thinking about the many cables for iPhones.

[–] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

These days there are even some resealable packaging whee the seal doesn't get ripped off or torn when opening the packet. What a time to be alive.

[–] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 hours ago

I'll never cease to be amazed at the wonders of technology

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

We watched sodapop bottle companies perfect the easy peel tab on the plastic, and then slowly cheap out until it barley releases one bottle if your lucky.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Kind of like how it took decades for us to figure out to put wheels on luggage. I'm sure there are tons of things waiting to be invented that people will look back on us eventually and wondering what took us so long to figure out something so obvious.

[–] pikmeir@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

My guess is wheels would not have helped when everywhere is dirt and cobblestones. Wheels appeared when we needed them.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

A wheel is never late, nor are they ever early. They always arrive exactly when they mean to.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 hours ago

They could have used bigger wheels

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago

If you pave it, wheels will come

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let's see AI come up with that! Checkmate!

haha i agre AI IS DUMB. no creative like us

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

YBC Noir > Oreos

(If you ever find yourself in Japan, go into any supermarket and try them - cheaper and nicer-tasting.)

[–] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll make sure to go to Japan just to try a different version of oreos

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I wanna go for their unique KitKat flavors. I guess I can try their Oreos, too, if I ever actually make it there.

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Is the package resealable though?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Noir is two vacuum-sealed rolls in a larger bag as opposed to opening a container with all of the cookies.
