INTERESTING FACTS * There Is a Right Way to Dunk an Oreo *
Scientists have studied the ideal amount of time to dunk an Oreo in milk.
Milk and cookies go together like peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, Jay-Z and Beyoncé. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to dunk a cookie in milk, according to scientists. In 1998, a professor at the University of Bristol in the U.K. looked into the ideal method for dunking a British biscuit (aka a cookie) into a drink, using the concept of capillary action — the way fluids move spontaneously through small tubes in porous materials — and Washburn’s equation, which describes their journey. Eventually, he determined that the typical British biscuit is best dunked for 3.5 to 5 seconds. Using this same technique in 2016, scientists at the University of Utah's Splash Lab determined the perfect dunk time for the much-beloved Oreo. Although the amount of time to get to “perfect” depends on preferred sogginess levels and milk fat content, the Utah researchers determined that three seconds was enough to thoroughly saturate the Oreo without losing structural integrity.

All humans used to be lactose intolerant.
All mammalian young produce an enzyme known as lactase, which allows babies to digest lactose, a naturally occurring sugar found in milk (human or otherwise). As mammals age, their bodies naturally produce less and less lactase, until eventually milk sugars are no longer digestible. But around 10,000 BCE, a genetic mutation in humans took hold near modern-day Turkey that effectively kept human lactase production permanently set in the “on” position. According to some anthropologists, this gave certain cultures a distinct advantage, since this new lactose tolerance added a pool of easily accessible calories to the human diet.
