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

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 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.

I was thinking about the many cables for iPhones.

[–] javasux@lemmy.world 51 points 22 hours 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 7 hours ago

Well you see, moderation is key.

  • take 2-4, reseal the package
  • repeat until done
[–] Toribor@corndog.social 3 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] sockman@sh.itjust.works 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 7 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 21 hours ago

Not willingly

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 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 21 hours 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 20 hours 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 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours 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 36 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 1 points 10 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.

[–] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 18 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 1 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 12 points 22 hours 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 20 hours 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 4 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 6 hours ago

They could have used bigger wheels

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago

If you pave it, wheels will come

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours 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 20 hours ago (2 children)

YBC Noir > Oreos

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

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Is the package resealable though?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 18 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.
