Oreos are one of the many yummy cookies in the United States and world wide. There is a variety of the many different flavors of the Oreo cookie. They have a long history, like 100 years long ! It all started with an dream to take biscuits to the next level.The Oreo was born on March 6, 1912. In 1898 there were many companies that came together to make what we now call Nabisco which is the creator of the famous Oreo. The original idea was to take two buttery biscuit rounds made of chocolate and fill with some creme in the middle. The first Oreo is very alike to the one we have today only that the design on the biscuit is different . The Oreo is designed with a patterned thin edge and center. The name OREO is placed in the middle of the cookie. The two outer disks are wafers and filled with what we call the creme. The shape and design of the Oreo cookie didn't change much until Nabisco began selling various versions of the cookie. In 1975, Nabisco released their DOUBLE STUF Oreos. Nabisco continued to create variations. Some of these variations were Fudge covered Oreos introduced in 1987, Halloween Oreos introduced in 1991, and Christmas Oreos that were introduced in 1995.
One of the things that Oreo lovers constantly ask is how did Oreos get there name? We are not exactly sure. Some believe that the cookie's name was taken from the French word for gold, "or" (the main color on early Oreo packages). Others claim the name stemmed from the shape of a hill-shaped test version; thus naming the cookie in Greek for mountain, "Oreo." Still others believe the name is a combination of taking the "re" from "cream" and placing it between the two "o"s in "chocolate" - making "o-re-o." No matter how it got named, over 362 billion Oreo cookies have been sold since it was first introduced in 1912, making it the best selling cookie of the 20th century.
The oreo is also in over 100 countries but is the most popular in the United States. At this current time there has now been over 491 billion cookies sold and produced here. The oreo cookie in the U.S. is "egg and dairy free." The oreo is made now at supposedly 21 bakeries world wide. How do you eat your oreo cookie? Do you know that almost half of the people that eat oreos do what we call the "Twist, Lick, Dunk Ritual?" It is where you take apart the cookie and eat one side first. They say that "women do it more than men."
