The first polygraph was invented in 1917 and was used for counterintelligence work during World War I. In 1938, the FBI began using polygraph examinations. The first polygraph to be used in a courtroom as evidence was on Dr. Francis Sweeney; a chief suspect in the Cleveland torso murders. He failed the polygraph test but was released later due to lack of evidence.

Will Oreo cookies help you pass a polygraph test?

No, Oreo cookies are unlikely to help you pass a polygraph test. A polygraph test, also known as a lie detector test, measures various physiological responses such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration to determine whether someone is being truthful or not. Eating Oreos, or any other food, before or during a polygraph test is unlikely to have a significant impact on these physiological responses, and thus is unlikely to affect the test results. In fact, attempting to manipulate the results of a polygraph test is generally not recommended and can have serious legal and ethical consequences. It is best to be honest during a polygraph test and to follow the instructions of the examiner.
