NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Princeton University researchers say they’ve found the key to winning an Oreo splitting bet.

They claim they can determine which side of the cookie the icing will fall on every time you split one open, you just have to follow their simple steps.

Good Morning New Orleans hosts Anne Cutler, Jacki Jing and Hank Allen put it to the test.  Guess what?  It works!

Here’s how you do it:

  1. Open Oreo package with tab facing you
  2. Grab the first Oreo from the top left corner
  3. Find a friend and twist to open
  4. Repeat and let your mind be blown!
