The ingredients listed on the official Oreo website may hold some clues. Oreos contain sugar, unbleached enriched flour, palm oil, soybean and/or canola oil, cocoa, high fructose corn syrup, baking soda, salt, soy lecithin, chocolate, and artificial flavor.

Some speculate that the combination of sugar, palm oil, and soy lecithin may contribute to the cookies' unexpected fire resistance. Others point out that the cookies' structure, with two wafers separated by a cream filling, may also play a role.
"Is milk stronger than fire?," asked one X user while another user asked,"Why are Oreos fire resistant?"
As the internet continues to buzz with theories and concerns, one thing is clear: Oreos have sparked a fascinating conversation about food science and safety.
