How cookies are like sex: Of Triple Double Stuf Oreos and other progress traps
The latest entry to the cookie wars is the Triple Double Stuf Oreo. That’s right: triple cookie wafers sandwiching two double stuffed fillings. Five layers of cookie. It is approximately the height of a mandarin orange. Let’s just leave nutrition out of this, for now.
This isn’t a cookie; it’s a cake masquerading as a cookie. It’s cookie porn. If it were a drug, it wouldn’t even be considered “entry level”; it would be the scary thing further down the path.

Serving up a slice of record-breaking cake
On Tuesday morning, Dairy Queen set a new Guinness World Record by constructing the world’s largest ice cream cake in Yonge and Dundas Square. DQ served up free slices for the masses, with suggested donations going to the Children’s Miracle Network. The Post’s Jane Switzer went to the construction.
Emcee and silver medal-winning Olympic curler Cheryl Bernard kicks things off. She explains the cake’s anatomy: 22,000 lbs. of ice cream, sponge cake, icing and Oreo crumbs. The old record, set in Beijing in 2006, weighed in at 17,637 lbs. (Photo: Tyler Anderson/National Post)
