Whenever eat everything, better check it first, last Two-Day XD was reading book on bed, suddenly she heard noisy in the room.

Her roommate just bought OREO biscuit with chocolate taste from 7-11, before she bite it, she saw something strange in the middle cream, got many small holes with white color, she thought it's impossible that OREO got new product with new taste? Is it the sugar? But how come it's looked like this?
