When it comes to separating Oreos… Why should puny humans have all the fun? For the final installment of Nabiscos’ Oreo separator campaign, they went robotic, using HERB the robot to do the honors.
After some initial failed attempts, a few eggheads at Carnegie Mellon finally get HERB to do what he was programmed for. It’s also good to know that the scientists will probably be the first to go when HERB finally decides to destroy us all.

As we’ve covered previously, Nabisco is currently running a series of videos showing creative ways to separate an Oreo Cookie. But where there was once a lone engineer with no interest in preserving the white cream filling — we now have two Oreo-separating enthusiasts at odds over which part is better.
A bit more refined than David Neevel’s machine, ”toy scientists” Barry Kudrowitz and Bill Fienup bring us a contraption that swiftly removes the outer shell, while creating a unique delivery system of the cream filling.
Instant ramen noodles… They save us tons of money, and provide enough sodium per serving to last us at least a few weeks. Ramen Noodle Soup by Steven Jo is a worthy ode to the coed staple. And, unlike most YouTube music videos, it appears to have actually had a budget. It must be from all the money that they saved on dinner.
And, whether you subscribe to the instant variety of ramen or not, you’ll probably be singing this tune uncontrollably for most of the day. Our apologies in advance.

George Duran of the Hungry Channel, in search of the ultimate cereal-inspired donut, recently hit the streets of NYC for some hard-hitting Froot Loops research. The result, with help from pastry chef Katie Rosenhouse, is the Froot Loops Donut.

Do you have photos of Chinese food that are a bit too appealing? Would you like to give them the authentic look of a Chinese restaurant menu? Then be sure to include Photoshop’s New Chinese Food Tool in your next Creative Suite.
Actually part of a parody video by CollegeHumor, the fake PS plug-in would help add very realistic effects to your Chinese food photos. Use the option for making the photo appear sun-faded and creased, the ‘aging’ filter on your white rice, or add way too many textures to your Kung Pao.
