The Oreo is a fantastic case study in future deliciousness

The future delicious tends to value the technological component of its manufacture over the actual food substrate.

For example, Oreos is one of the most man-made foods in existence. It is factory-produced from highly processed, shelf-stabilised flour, stripped of its nutrients, then re-enriched by others, enhanced by genetically modified soy lecithin, and fortified with sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. Oreos have also been found to contain trace amounts of glyphosate, a weedkiller.

How we decide if this cookie is delicious is mostly based on nostalgia.
