The Hot Cookie USB Mug Warmer Looks Like a Giant OREO

So how do you eat your OREO cookies? I like to carefully disassemble mine, scoop the creamy filling out with my bottom teeth, then eat the two chocolate cookies individually. The way I figure it, it’s like eating three cookies for the price (and calories) of one. While I really enjoy my sandwich cookie ritual, I’ve never thought about keeping my coffee warm with one.

Novelty gift maker Just Mustard makes this USB-powered mug warmer that looks just like an oversize OREO, though it says “Mustard” so they don’t have to pay Nabisco. Which makes me wonder… can you patent a cookie? I’m not sure. Of course, an OREO filled with mustard sounds disgusting, so try not to think about it that way. I guess it could be worse, and that white stuff could be mayonnaise. Also, don’t try and dip this cookie in milk, or you’ll end up electrocuting yourself.

If you can resist the temptation to bite into this giant-sized not-an-OREO cookie, you can grab this USB mug warmer over on Amazon (affiliate link) for about $18.

Engineer Builds Hands-Free Oreo and Milk Dispensers

Are you hungry for some milk and cookies? You could trudge all the way to the kitchen cabinet and grab some Oreos, then open the fridge to grab a bottle of milk, but that would be way too much work. Why can’t we just walk up to the wall and be fed milk and cookies without any effort at all? Well, now we can, thanks to the work of Emiel, aka The Practical Engineer.

In the interest of progress, Emiel built himself a pair of wall-mounted dispensers which can feed him Oreos and milk without the need for hands. He simply walks up to each lever, pushes down with his neck, and out pops a snack from one machine, and a stream of milk from the other. The cookie dispenser is powered by a spring, while the milk dispenser actually has a pump built into it.

He built the dispensers using a combination of off-the-shelf and 3D printed parts, and you can build your own with the instructions and template files he’s selling on his website for just €5.95 (or about $6.50 USD). While I can get behind the Oreo dispenser, I’m afraid that milk dispenser would be pretty impractical to keep clean – and without refrigeration, the milk won’t last long.

Game of Thrones House Sigil OREOs: Diabetes Is Coming

Whether you are a Lannister, a Stark or any of the others fighting for the Iron Throne, can’t we just stop the bickering and all agree that Oreos are delicious? We all have that in common, right? So let’s just get along. Good. Now let’s just all enjoy these limited-edition Game of Thrones OREOs. There’s plenty for everyone. Well, yeah it’s a limited edition. Hey, stop fighting! I know they will sell out quick but- put that mace away! What do you mean you need an army to raid the grocery store? Damn you guys really love your cookies.

Like just about everyone else, OREO is taking advantage of the hype for the final season of Game of Thrones, but they are doing it how they do it best: by giving us cool cookies… and then taking them away. Bastards. Each cookie has either a sigil for House Lannister, House Targaryen or House Stark, or a Night King head embossed onto one side.

To celebrate the release of said cookies, Nabisco worked with Elastic – the same guys who created the actual Game of Thrones opening sequence, to make a version entirely out of OREO cookies:

Try not to go war over these Game of Thrones cookies to win your place on the throne.
