Mechanical engineers from MIT have determined that there is no consistent way to split the cream of an Oreo cookie evenly between the wafers when splitting them into halves.
Researchers devised an Oreometer, a device designed to split the cookie with a scientifically precise amount of torque. They hoped that the perfect twist might manipulate the cookie's filling to distribute evenly between the two wafer cookies. Alas, they could not.

Personally, I like Fig Newtons better anyway.
