How do kids just know ???
 

How do kids just know to split an Oreo cookie and eat the middle first?

I gave my son a few Oreo Mini's today and he just started poppin them apart and eating the good stuff. I guess it's just built in .:thumbsup

Its the kid thing of playing with your food.

T.V. it is amazing what they pick up watching tv for like 10 mins.

Whatever the problem is, I blame it all on hip hop and black people.

I eat without popping it apart, just normal..:)

maybe they learn that in school? :)

Yep, it's probably instinct.

:2 cents:

Does he watch the commercial.

I have to guess he saw it on TV but he really doesn't watch much TV. and most of what he watches is on DVD.

"it's science!"

I never saw it on TV as a kid. I don't know if they even had such a commercial back then. :D

I just wanted the icing first, and the only way to get at it was to pull off that one side.

Kid logic 101.

Children can be very perceptive. I wouldn't put it past the fact that he saw the good stuff in the middle.

Also, just think of all the toys a child plays with growing up. Many of the early toys are items that a child can take apart and put back together. I wouldn't doubt if that has some effect on it :)

it is an inherent skill at the back of every human brain...hahaha, he probably saw it on tv or from other kids perhaps?

I think I'm abnormal...as a kid and to this day, I still just dunk an oreo into a big glass of milk or coffee...i don't think I've ever pulled one apart...

I would first have gone with that kids play with their food but these days they just have to catch a commercial and see how it's done.

Well - I don't think they even sell oreo's over here.. (Not sure ofcourse, since I spend very very little time in the supermarkets)

But an easy experiment would be to give a dutch kid an oreo cookie and see what (s)he does with it :)

But, I might disappoint some people here, I'm not willing to get kids just to see how they'll eat oreo cookies.

yea i'd have to agree with this one and the fact that every kid does play with their food.
