Physicist David Neevel is my hero. On the OREO YouTube page there is a video showing  Mr. Neevel's 
very complex design for cookie separator machine. Whether this is a indirect advertising ploy or not,
it is an example of another OREO lover who does not want the creme filled center.

I thought I was the only one!

It's a basic human desire to separate an OREO cookie. Humans love either cookie or creme. And sometimes a man just needs to invent a machine to do the hard work of separating the two. Today, that man is physicist and cookie-part preferrer David Neevel. Watch him operate the machine he created that separates OREO cookies.

Here is my personal plea to the makers of OREO cookies:

Dear OREO,

Please keep making your wonderful cookies in their original form, and extra stuffed versions, plus the seasonal versions that delight many of your fans. But please consider a new twist for us fans who spend countless minutes separating the cookie from the creme and feel wasteful when they send it to the trash. Some dogs are grateful for treat their masters may occasionally bestow, but that is a small number of pooches. Please offer a creme-less OREO cookie for sale so we can enjoy more cookies with less waste.

Sincerely,

Susan Saunders-WBNQ.com
