Weird science question

[geekgrl]

For lunch, I had a sandwich and oreos packed together in a plastic tote.
The bread and oreos were FRESH, just bought last night. The bread was honey wheat (in case that makes a difference).
When I opened my tote to eat my lunch, the bread was STALE only on the top where I had put the oreos. It was hard as could be. The oreos were so SOGGY! Why did the oreos suck all the moisture out of my bread?? How?

Sounds like it.

I think it works on a property similar to osomosis ... basically the mopisture tries to even itself out over the entore container, so the oreo's can hold more than the bread, and are made of a more porus material so they would be able to suck more moisture.

I could be totoally off base .. but justs a thought.

You are right Undeadlord

The cookie absorbed all teh moisture from the bread turning the cookie into a sponge....

I have some chocolate (yummy) covered oreo's and I bet they dont absorb the moisture from your bread...

What the heck is mopisture. Sounds yucky any how.

Osmossis sounds right geekgrl

Solution to problem: chuck the sandwich, just bring more cookies.
