Oreo Cookie Lab
Students measured the filling in three types of Oreo cookies to determine if filling amounts matched advertising. My group's hypothesis was: each cookie will have different measurements and different masses because they all have different amounts of fillings in them. Some students did it differently, but my group peeled the filling off of the Oreo and weighed it in the Triple Beam Balance. We took the filling off of the original Oreo, the Double Stuffed Oreo, and the Mega Stuffed Oreo. We weighed them all and subtracted the weight from the paper towel they were with and all that. Then when we found the mass of all three of our Oreo's, we compared.
Original Oreo - 11.1g
Double Stuf - 11.3g
Mega Stuf - 17.7g
The comparison with the original and original = 1.
The comparison with the double stuffed and original = 1.01.
The comparison with the mega stuffed and original = 1.59.
The advertisement that the Oreo's use for the original, double stuffed, and mega stuffed aren't 100% of what they say they are, because there is not that much of a difference. But yes, there is a difference between the filling in all 3 of the Oreo's, but not as much as the Oreo company says there is.
