If I walk by a package, I swear I put on 5 pounds.

I'll have them as a treat if I stumble on them.

On desert trays at social events maybe once  a year.(very much self limiting).  Actually buy them maybe once every 5 or 10 years. (an open package is an empty package)

Is this true if they are still on the grocery shelf and you look at them and then walk past as part of a recovery program? ...   Cuz if so, then I'm not dropping any pounds.....lol

True:  30+ years ago when wife was making the cross country trip to move to our new location, she made a gas-stop in some no-where's-ville along the way.  Opened the door of the Jeep Cherokee to continue on and was frantic that her quite small pet pot-bellied pig seemed to be missing.  Finally some movement and thrashing revealed piglet's location--wedged between the back of the front seat and the flattened seat-back from the rear.  You see, wife had place a package of Oreo's out of reach of said piglet by placing package on floor in front of rear seat.  Piglet saw its opportunity when wife went into gas station and made a deep dive for the sweet treats beckoning below. So wife had to grab piglet by rear legs and pull her up out of the hole....all while cookies and frosting and crumbs were dribbling out of piglets animated chompers.....

Now, that's funny, John! I could have, at one time, pictured myself and any member of our family in that little piggy's predicament! Sadly, I can't have oreos, anymore. I miss them, and for decades, was also in the "open bag=empty bag" camp. But, I'm not a fan of feeling like the ball in a week-long rugby match, so no more oreos, for me.
