The rheometer in our lab has a parallel plate device, in fact very Oreo-like. It also has a cone and plate device which despite its name does not measure ice cream.

On the serious side rheology is a very important factor in food science, and indeed in pharmaceutical formulations.

Beyond that there are many applications in energy applications. We have an Anton Parr 302A. Perhaps though we should have just sent out for cookies.
