Stop what you're doing, because this may be the best thing you see all week. Physicist and cookie-part preferrer David NeevelI built a machine to separate an OREO cookie. As he says, "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." He is that man. This is that machine. Wow.

Please tell me this is a Portlandia skit of some sort!
My father was a physicist, I can hear him laughing from the afterlife
My 8 year old son who is home sick is enthralled and amazed...
Too funny. When I was a kid, I would take one cookie off of each of two double-stuff oreos, and then sandwich the cream sides together to make a QUADRUPLE OREO!!
I also made some homemade Oreos!:

Now this is what happens when physicists get bored. And hungry.
Wow...I think this falls firmly into the category of First World Problems!
I hate the cream, too, but I just use a butter knife. In desperate situations I've been known to use my teeth and spit the frosting into a napkin. If Oreo would make creamless cookies....but I admire this guy's tenacity even thought the device to is too slow for me.
I definitely didn't realize there were people out there who didn't like the creme - when I was little I would take a stack of the cookies, scrape out all the cream into a pile, and eat the creme with a spoon. Kind of gross, but so tasty... Also, I agree with jberickson, this HAS to be a Portlandia or other sketch. The comments about having cold fingers and neck, the needing to find a good sandwich in this part of town... too weird!
There is something about this that is amazing.
Is it still an oreo if there is no cream?
Are educator chocolate cookies still around. Chocolate cookies with no creme.
Other than the fact that the machine is really cool and I'm sure took a lot of hard work...this is an abomination! We all know that the cream is the best part! If only he could make a way to save the cream intact. Then there would be cookie-less cream for the cream lovers and cream-less cookies for the cookie lovers. Everyone would be happy!
HILARIOUS! Though I was wincing at all that wasted cream. Maybe he could make me a machine that does the opposite?
