History of the Oreo Birth:March 6,1912
In 1898 there were many companies that came together to make what we now call Nabisco, which is the creater of the oreo. It was in 1912 that they had the idea to start making a new cookie. The idea was to have two round biscuits made of chocolate flavor and filled with creme in between. The first oreo is very alike to the one we have today only that the design on the biscuit is different.
New Oreo Introduced:
1975- Double Stuffed
1987- Fudge Covered
1991- Halloween Oreo
1995- Christmas Oreo
So how did the cookie get it's name? No one really knows but some have an idea. One of the ideas is that the name came from the compound of cream and chocolate- Oreo.
Since the oreo has been around there has been 362 billion cookies sold which then makes it the "best-selling" cookie. The first oreo to be sold was in Hoboken, NJ. At this time the packaging of the cookie was a "bulk tin and was sold by the weight."

Did you know that the oreo was born the same year that the Titanic sank, and the
South Pole was discovered? -
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 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.
Question: How do you eat your oreo?
-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."
To finish off the history of the Oreo I wanted to show you the oreo slogans. These range from 1950- 2004.
Oreo Slogans:
1950- Oh!, Oh!, Oreo!
1980- For the kid in All of Us
1982- America's Best Loved Cookie
1982- The One and Only
1986- Who's The kid with the Oreo Cookie?
