Oreos, among others. They tend to float on the surface of milk. At a point they may become saturated enough to sink, but if one doesn’t want them that saturated- or if one does, but they float above the holder pictured, and then submerge themselves beyond its reach, the device is rendered pointless- at the very least the inconvenience of having to “baby sit” each cookie, coupled with a maximum of 2 Oreos per dunk is inconvenient. Held on their side as with this device Oreos will not float as prolifically, however the top of the cookie remains dry in this design. You can rotate the cookie (more baby sitting) but as the fluid line is off center, you’ll get uneven saturation at the cookies mid point that way, or have to eat several bites of dry cookie. This is designed for people who will settle for mediocre dunking in exchange for dry fingers, or those who aren’t particular in their dunking.
Any chocolate chip cookie I've ever had ended up floating. And then breaking. And then disintegrating into the milk. Cookie infested milk is nowhere near as pleasant as a milk infused cookie
Well, I mean, they don't float *while* you're dunking them. Just if they break/you let go.
Actually, now that I think about it, what cookies DON'T float??
I’m inclined to agree. I could see maybe a very heavy cookie, or one that is oddly shaped- closer to a sphere than a disk, or very porous/with many holes not floating- but most cookies are shaped in a way and are light enough and contain enough air, that they have some degree of boyancy- at least until they are fluid logged.
