A cookie won’t fit into a glass of milk for dunking. What would you do?

A math major would determine the required radius of the cookie for dunking, and then shave it to the appropriate dimensions.

An English major would write a story about how the cookie refused to go into the cup and then went out on an adventure.

A political science major would write a BS paper about why he wasn’t able to fit the cookie into the cup.

A psychology major would analyze why the dunker wanted to dunk and what made him want a cookie in the first place.

And a new media major would talk about how Oreo had associated the act of dunking with their brand image; he would then copyleft the process of dunking the cookie so that the dunkers of the future would need to give attribution to him to ensure that Oreo wouldn’t patent the process and then demand royalties for each dunk.
