A First-Person Account of What a ‘Hacked’ Oreo Tastes Like


Mr. Voltaggio also prepared an Oreo-style shandy, a low-alcohol cocktail traditionally made with beer and lemonade, or some other fruity mix-in. He added an Oreo twist by creating a rich syrup of golden Oreos, sugar, water and lemon. He then added cold beer to the hot syrup. While the syrup tempered the bitterness of the beer, the fizz made the crowd smile. The lemon also added freshness, making for what would be a perfect summer cocktail. When I had read the description of the dish on paper, I couldn’t imagine what it would taste like, but ultimately it was an intriguing mix of citrus and beer, with a lingering cookie aftertaste.

Then it was Mr. Choi’s turn. He is largely credited as having launched the food truck craze that still continues to sweep the country. He crushed Oreos into little crumbles, mixed with parsley and flour, in a plastic bag. He used the mixture to coat chicken pieces, fried into what looked like the ultimate hipster version of chicken tenders. As a vegetarian, I abstained from tasting the dish, but I wouldn’t be surprised if people start expecting bars to serve Oreo-crusted chicken tenders during happy hours.

Last to hack was Mr. Tran. He dove into an insane exercise of dissolving Oreos in diet cherry sodas (why diet, I don’t know), then throwing in peanuts and pound cake. “Being impulsive is my thing,” he said as he mixed five Oreos in the soda with an evil grin on his face. He even invited onlookers to partake in creating our own mashes. The pre-made samples Mr. Tran had on hand tasted a lot like pudding. The versions we created on the fly, however, turned out quite differently and could be likened to a chunky, clumsy Nutella.

Microsoft Creates a Surprisingly Amusing Game to Help Wean Us Off Windows XP

With millions of Windows XP users clinging desperately to the reliable but officially obsolete operating system, Microsoft has created a surprisingly fun new game to nudge us all into the future. Or present. Or at least recent past.

Escape From XP is an arcade-style video game in which you play as a developer who's been stuck supporting Windows XP and the antiquated Internet Explorer 6, your grandmother's favorite Web browser.  

Check out the entertaining little game here, brought to us by agency Bradley and Montgomery (a fun nod to the Kurt Russell masterpiece, Escape From New York) and our shot-by-shot GIF breakdown of Escape From XP below. 

First we are confronted with our old friend, "Bliss," which glitches out to the "blue screen of death."

Next we are transported to a terrible dystopia and tasked with escaping from XP:

Here in this wasteland our plucky developer traverses a graveyard of browser windows, battling recycling bins and the Internet Explorer logo. And watch out for the enormous Clippy in the background shooting LASERS FROM HIS EYES. 

Finally we are saved!

Now push the button. Clippy is there in case you're having problems executing.

BOOOOOOOOM!

RIP XP.
