It started as a joke. A joke that spiraled out of control and became one of the most bizarre moments of my life. But let’s rewind for a second.
It all began when I stumbled across an online ad for what can only be described as the ultimate Oreo. A magical Oreo, they claimed, that would transform your entire taste experience with just one bite. They advertised it as a cookie that defied the laws of flavor, creating an experience that “sends you to another dimension.”
I laughed. I mean, seriously? An Oreo that does all that? It’s probably just another marketing stunt to sell overpriced cookies, right? But, curiosity got the best of me, and I bought a pack.
When the package arrived, I was skeptical. They didn’t look any different from a regular Oreo, just a bit shinier, like they’d been dusted with glitter or something. The real kicker? The packaging said: “Not for the faint of heart. Eat with caution.”
Naturally, I had to try it. I showed the pack to my dad, expecting him to roll his eyes and mock me for believing such nonsense. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and said, “If it’s that powerful, I’ll be the judge of that.”
I told him to go for it. “You’re the one who always says you can handle anything. Let’s see how magical this really is.”
Dad, always the adventurous one when it comes to food (and often, questionable decisions), took the Oreo, unwrapped it, and shoved the whole thing in his mouth. He chewed thoughtfully for a moment, then paused.
“This is… interesting,” he said. “It’s like chocolate. But not. It’s like I’m tasting… the universe.”
I tried not to laugh. “Okay, so what’s it like? You’re really feeling something?”
He stared off into the distance, his eyes widening. “It’s… it’s as if I’m flying through time and space. I can feel the rhythm of the stars, the dance of galaxies.”
My dad, ladies and gentlemen.
Then, suddenly, his face contorted. His eyes got huge, like he’d seen a ghost. “Wait, I can see the future,” he muttered. “I can see myself eating more Oreos. They’re… they’re endless!”
At this point, I was starting to get concerned. “Dad, you okay?”
He snapped out of it, shaking his head. “Whoa, that was intense. I think I just unlocked a new dimension. The Oreo dimension.”
Now, I was genuinely curious. What exactly had happened to him? He didn’t seem like he was about to faint, but he was certainly acting… off. I tried a cookie for myself.
It tasted normal. No time-bending flavors. No galactic revelations. Just… an Oreo.
“You okay?” I asked again. “You sure you’re not, like, tripping?”
He nodded slowly, looking at me as though he’d just returned from some distant, cosmic place. “Yeah. I’m fine. But you should be careful with those. I think I just saw the beginning of time… and it involved Oreos.”
To this day, my dad insists that the Magic Oreo opened some kind of portal in his brain, and he can’t look at a regular cookie the same way again. Every time I bring out Oreos, he gives me a warning: “Don’t mess with the magic, kid. Some things can’t be un-tasted.”
And now, I’ll never know if he’s joking… or if he really did unlock the flavor of the universe.
