Sometimes when you’re in the library studying, all you need is a bit of a sugar kick to help you through. Yes, food isn’t generally allowed in libraries, the most you can normally sneak in is a biscuit or two.

But not so in this particular library, which has a *very* strict policy when it comes to our favourite sandwich biscuit: Oreos.

We’ve got to admit, this is one of the more confusing signs we’ve seen in a library. We’re used to all the “keep quiet” malarkey, but we’ve never seen Oreos so viciously targeted. It also begs the question: what on Earth are these “recent events”?

It’s sparked widespread outrage.

And many are wondering what this “incident” was that has so brutally destroyed the hallowed relationship between library and Oreo.

It really is a mystery.

Others are just happy their own libraries don’t have such a policy.

And just when the questions were reaching a crescendo…

… one sharp-minded Twitter user realised the truth of the matter.

Which you can watch here.

Phew. Now we can close the mysterious case of the library and the Oreo.

Excuse us while we go fetch some cookies (although we’re definitely not brave enough to go anywhere near the library with them).
