Just after 11 p.m. ET on Wednesday night, Giannis Antetokounmpo tweeted a revelation that rocked not only his world but that of everyday Americans: He didn’t know you could dunk an Oreo cookie in milk.
His tweet read, in part, “You won't believe me but a kid just told me to try dunking my Oreos in milk... mannnnn game changer.”
And, he poked fun at his partner Mariah Riddlesprigger for not telling him about it and indicated it would become a new bedtime snack.
So naturally, the 26-year-old Greek native was asked about it after the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Detroit Pistons 114-93 Wednesday night.
Wait, let’s talk about that a little bit,” as he settled in for what would be a 2½-minute breakdown of one of the greatest discoveries of 2021.
“So, so, it’s definitely — how do you guys say — a bed night? Bed time snack. Bed time snack, sorry. So, I had this commercial, this video shoot I did (Tuesday) and it was three kids there. And we were doing a shoot about some cookies, you know? And we had some Oreos over there. And this kid asked me, he was like, ‘Have you ever ate Oreos before?’ I was like yeah!
“When I came to the league that was the first thing I ate because like, I was always — when I was younger I was always craving them and I could never afford them you know, so I was like OK, give me that. You get a little bit of money people go spend money on cars and chains, I went and bought Oreos right? So, I ate them for like a month straight. No dinner, no lunch, no nothing. So I got sick of them, right? But I’ve had them.
