Oh, oh, oreo. Ever feel like you could eat the whole bag yourself? According to a new study youre not a glutton, youre addicted.
A student at Connecticut College found lab rats that ate oreos were just as strongly associated to them as lab rats that were injected with cocaine or morphine. (Via WNCN)
And, this sounds even more dangerous eating Oreos activated even more neurons in the pleasure centers of rats brains than those addicted drugs did. (Via YouTube / Oreo)

Doctor, I was abused as a kid...was given too many oreos. Will you sign my Social Security disability application?

I need an intervention. Obamacare should cover it. Right?

Amen brother, Amen. Nothing better than good popcorn....although I must admit, I put a lot of melted BUTTER on mine. I'm just the opposite.
Nothing better than good butter. Then maybe add some popcorn or a baked potato to it. I like a little Broccoli with butter also.

I’ve taken that into consideration. Normally, other ambulatory dead folk have an insatiable craving for brains.
Me? Not so much. Besides, in the general population, the organ that used to provide the higher cognitive functions seems to have atrophied away to almost nothing. This explains the lack of a vibrant zombie population and Democrat voting trends in one tidy package.

I'll still eat one, or two, or even three if I am at a gathering where they are offered, but I actually get a bigger craving for popcorn."
"Social user," only, eh? Ya', I know your type. A Chippie. "Only on the weekends. I can maintain, man. I can maintain. It's cool." Sure. Next thing ya' know those little poppers ain't enough. You need bigger kicks. The hard stuff. "Newtonian brown" is what you crave. Days fade into weeks and months. Then one morning you wake up 50 lbs overweight, in a seedy motel room. The nightstand holds a half empty glass of curdled milk, and the floor is littered with the remnants of gutted packs...of Fig Newtons. Your a mainliner.

“We will tell you, if you were wondering the rats broke the Oreos open and ate the middles first. And then, of course....kept eating.”
that nails it ! “
Unfortunately several of the rats drowned in the glass of milk. They went in head first and couldn’t turn themselves over.
Teaches them to be glutinous for oreos.
