Oreo Separator Machine Gives You Just the Cream Filling, But Not the Way You Want

Posted in: Today's Chili

A few weeks ago a video surfaced showing a machine that separates oreo cookies using a hatchet. Now another video has surfaced. This one is a bit more scientific than the first. Even though these videos are clearly a clever marketing campaign, I can’t help but find them entertaining.

After all, these videos focus on cookies, creating machines to separate them, and eventually eating of said cookies. This new machine from Barry Kudrowitz and Bill Fienup, has two fake scientists in Minnesota using the whole Oreo to satisfy both scientists. Kudrowitz likes the cookie, and Fienup likes the cream.

The design leaves something to be desired though as the cream ends up on Fienup’s face instead of in his mouth. Boy, that just sounds wrong. Still, seeing this kind of cookie technology unfold is inspiring.

I don’t know about you, but I am an absolute sucker for Oreos. After all, I find it really difficult to resist the cream filling of each Oreo cookie, and all willpower just wilts when faced with a roll of Oreos and a glass of cold milk, as the twist and dunk combo is definitely one of my favorite comfort foods. Well, artist and inventor David Neevel must be one of the very few people in the world who hate the cream that lines each Oreo cookie, and the inventor side of him decided to do something quirky – be developing a machine that allows him to remove the creamy part of the Oreo cookie.

Neevel’s Oreo Separator Machine, as he calls it, is a creation that defies logic – who in their right mind would resist the creamy bit of an Oreo cookie? Well, the invention will comprise of a mish mash of items, including aluminum, wood, a hatchet and floss, all put together in his garage in Portland, Oregon. Of course, Neevel did have to pay a price to build the Oreo Separator Machine, taking approximately two weeks of his time to do so. Neevel said, “It was a big time commitment. I had to work some long hours. I didn’t see my girlfriend or my dog for hours at a time.”

I don’t think he’d find a decent market who would be willing to pay him money for his invention, as scraping off the cream using the blunt edge of a butter knife is a whole lot cheaper.

Man Builds Oreo Separator Machine To Remove Cream Filling

Posted in: Today's Chili

If there’s anything you should hate more than anything in the world, the cream filling inside of an Oreo cookie might be extremely low on the majority of people’s lists. But artist and inventor David Neevel absolutely, positively hates the cream in Oreo cookies. Instead of completely avoiding the cream-filled treat, he decided to create a machine that can remove the part of the Oreo he dislikes the most.

In a short video commissioned by Nabisco, Neevel shows off his Oreo Separator Machine, or OSM as he likes to call it. His monstrous creation if a combination of scrap aluminum, wood, a hatchet and floss that was built in his Portland, Oregon garage.

Building the machine took a lot of sacrifice from Neevel as he says the contraption took about two weeks to build. “It was a big time commitment,” he said. “I had to work some long hours. I didn’t see my girlfriend or my dog for hours at a time.” Neevel also said it was rather difficult for him to find a good sandwich shop in that part of time, something all sandwich lovers could easily relate to.
