Here are today’s five thing to know about Oreo:

  1. In 1912, Nabisco had a new idea for a cookie – two chocolate disks with a creme filling in between.
  2. The first Oreo cookie looked very similar to the Oreo cookie of today, with only a slight difference in the design on the chocolate disks.
  3. Little did they know that the Oreo cookie would become the largest selling cookie of all time.
  4. The origin of the name Oreo is unknown, but there are many theories, including derivations from the French word ‘Or’, meaning gold (as early packaging was gold), or the Greek word ‘Oreo’, meaning beautiful, nice or well done.
  5. Starting in January 2006, Oreo cookies replaced the trans fat in the cookie with non-hydrogenated vegetable oil.
