A video of someone using a blowtorch on Oreos for varying levels of timing is going viral, as the cookies can be seen withstanding extreme heat temperatures. Despite being subjected to the inferno for as much as 30 seconds, the cookies come out just fine.
The video has since drawn hilarious reactions from the chronically online, with some suggesting the cookies could be turned into a full suit of armor for those heading into battle. Here's how one user reacted:
"Dragon slayers used to wear a suit of Oreos when they charged the foul beasts!"
Even more chimed in:
"All these years we’ve been making houses out of wood like s*ckers. We could be living like cream filled kings!" one user declared.
"So what im learning here is...If i build my house in CA out of oreos, i don't have to worry about wild fires or starvation," someone jokingly posited.
"Riding out ww3 in my oreo nuclear bunker," another jested.
"They should use Oreos as heat shields on the space shuttle," a third person humorously suggested.
The comments didn't end there, though, as even more had hilarious suggestions for the use of these creme-layered cookies.
"@Elonmusk could make his rockets out of Oreos. He'd save a lot of money on materials," someone else noted.
"That Oreo looks like it was forged in the fires of Mount Doom," another quipped.
"Oreos only weakness is milk," another user joked.
Netizens found it hysterical that the cookie can withstand virtually anything, even red-hot flames blanketing it for half a minute, but not a cup of milk.
Users are now baffled: Why can't Oreos combust?
The video of Oreo's resistance to the inferno has since gone viral, which begs the simple question: Why don't these black cookies burn?
Per the official website, these cookies comprise sugar, unbleached enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate {vitamin b1}, riboflavin {vitamin b2}, folic acid), palm oil, soybean and/or canola oil, cocoa (processed with alkali), high fructose corn syrup, baking soda, salt, soy lecithin, chocolate, artificial flavor.
Given its structure and composition, these cookies can withstand extreme flames. As per Grok, an artificial intelligence platform, these ingredients in particular contribute to its inability to ignite: cocoa, sugar, soy lecithin, and palm oil.
