They're on top of each other, like a sandwich.

So, we don't have a specific term for "cookie", but we have a specific term
for a specific type of cookie?
And still no official word for sandwich...
How specific is {bIQyIn}?
Can it refer to two crackers with peanut butter in the middle?
An Oreo?
An oatmeal cream pie?
Does {bIQyIn} even state or emply a filling of some kind, or are the
{chabmey} simply stuck together by other means?
