The tricky part is balancing between not soaking the Oreo with enough milk and busting the teeth of the recipient vs. having too much milk and having the Oreo break up in a midair soggy mess that splats the recipient in the face. This is truly an engineering challenge for our times! Cross the streams in midair?
