Oh, oh, oreo. Ever feel like you could eat the whole bag yourself? According to a new study — you’re not a glutton, you’re 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)

Ban them! After all, us humans are really no different than lab rats that need an elite class to give us cheese!

Is that the stuff they thought was linked to alcoholism? No.
Nor am I about to go around trying out random super-addictive things to see if anything sticks.
I have enough trouble with Reality without engaging in recreational pharmacology.

I think Nabisco’s *resealable bag* was a genius idea.......but really. Who reseals the bag? Honestly.

LOL, truth to processed sugary foods. You aren’t satisified with them. It is easy to eat 7 or 8 cookies and still feel hungry, how many times have you ate 3 or 4 apples in a row?
To: PowderMonkey
Are you an out of work writer from Breaking Bad??
I think, I saw that scene....
My father taught me the family creed:
“To us? Oreos are like spinach for Popeye!”
My sons have learned it too.

4. Pepto
5. Blankie Time!
