The Breakage Of Oreos And Cookies

Improved Essays
I have always hated Oreos. The consistency of the thick, non-creamy icing, and the hard, brick like cookie are too much of a contrast. The cookie has the taste of cardboard, and eating the icing is almost the same as inhaling a spoonful of just sugar.

They should. I chose this topic because I never get to voice what my experiences were like. The times I had voiced them, they were met with eye rolls from people who thought I was lying and labeled my experiences as fiction.…
