According to Hartford Courant, scientists put rats in a maze with Oreos on one side, and rice cakes on the other. And obviously, the rats spent far longer on the side with the Oreos than the side with the rice cakes. That's because rice cakes don't contain nearly as much fat or sugar as Oreos.

While all of us would be elated to have a rice cake addiction, rather than a debilitating cookie addiction — for obvious reasons — it seems like that isn't scientifically possible, according to science.
