High Schoolers At Middle of Oreo Scandal – Double Stuf Oreos Don’t Have Double Stuf

If you recall, earlier this year, there was the major Subway scandal when a guy in Australia showed the world that Subway's footlong subs weren't actually a foot long.  They were only 11 INCHES.  Well, now a math class at a New York High School has a newer, bigger and better scandal.  Of course, there’s a lot of “sarcasm” intended with "scandal."

They’ve determined that Double Stuf Oreos don’t have double the stuff of regular Oreos.  ABC news visited with their teacher, Dan Anderson, who says he decided to do an experiment to show his students a way to use math in the real world.  He had the students weigh the different types of Oreos, then adjust for the weight of the wafers to figure out the weight of the cream filling.

And Double Stuf Oreos only had 1.86 times the filling of regular Oreos!!  Not Double the filling!  I’m thinking an eerie hush fell over the room as the weights were tallied.

However, Mega Oreos did have 2.68 times the cream filling of regular Oreos.

A spokeswoman for Nabisco SHOT DOWN the experiment though saying "I'm not familiar with what was done in the classroom setting, [but] I can confirm for you that our Double Stuf cookie has double the cream filling of our original Oreo cookie."

Course, this could only be the tip of the iceberg.  All handymen know that a 2x4 is only 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches; not the billed 2 by 4.  What if a Quarter Pounder isn’t actually a “quarter pound?”  We might never survive the fall out.
