a traditional meal of eggs, toast, or protein shakes, Kinney’s morning ritual is sweet, simple, and undeniably unique. In a 2023 video where NBC stars shared their morning habits,

Kinney’s choice immediately caught the attention of fans. Rather than the usual healthy options, the actor revealed that his go-to breakfast is surprisingly sugary: a few Oreos dunked in milk.

“I have two chocolate Oreos and two vanilla Oreos,” Kinney shared, explaining that he usually keeps it simple, without much fuss. “I dunk them in whole milk,” he added, emphasizing how quick and easy his breakfast routine is.

With a fast dip of the Oreos into the milk, a quick bite, and a sip, Kinney says he’s good to go. “Dunk the Oreos, bing-bam-boom, breakfast—out the door, I’m ready for the day,” he joked, showcasing just how effortlessly he gets ready for whatever the day throws at him.
