Oreo Divination

[Merewyn]

I love oreos. They are oh-so-precious and sacred to me for some reason. Anyway. I was sitting here at work wasting time, eating some oreos, and I got to thinking about when I was a little girl with my friends, and we used to ask our oreo cookies 'yes or no' questions and then twist them open. Do you remember doing that? And now that I'm older, I'm thinking, "gee, isn't that divination?" So that became food for thought, "hmmm... oreo divination...." And as the internet is a much wondrous and weird thing, i looked it up, and I found this. Thought I'd share!

:D There are lots of threads in the forum with seemingly silly methods that are written down, such as cat divination. We tried it and didn't find it to be very accurate. :hehehe:

This is cute, thanks for sharing!

This is cute, thanks for sharing! Hmmmm ... from my personal experience, using Oreo divination would certainly lead to a "YES" answer to the question of "Am I getting fatter?"

As with any divination system, I suppose the act of thinking about a question and relating the answer given to the interpreter's own impressions are the key elements. And ... sometimes just getting any answer so that the concerned person can stop investing so much energy into the worry can be beneficial. On all of those counts, Oreo divination and cat divination are as acceptable as any others might be.

Maybe I should write a guide to beer divination for my many coworkers.

Someone at one time probably thought reading tea leaves was silly too. But oreos that's just way too cute.:flowers:

that is adorable. it reminds me of the soda cap twist off game where you do the alphebet until it breaks and the letter you land on is the first letter of the name of the man you will marry.

We did the twist-off divination method with stems from an apple. When the stem broke free you were on the letter of your future spouse. That method was biased towards the beginning of the alphabet. Poor Zachariah Zebsider would never get a spouse.

thinking an apple sounds tasty

i never did the oreo yes no thing... as a kid i would use flowers and pull off the petals saying yes and no for each petal until there was one left and that was my answer.. i also remember using what we called 'wish chips'..( dont know if anyone else has done that one) where if we got a potato chip that was bent in half we had to wish on it before we ate it and my kids do this too..

I may have to try oreo divination. I would hate to say something doesn't work without trying it first! I think I will also try the wish chip too. I forgot about that!
