i got bored.
do you have any idea how many sites contain the words "oreo" "nabisco" and "history" 2,260.
What is an OREO?
OREO is a sandwich cookie - two round dark chocolate cookies with a creamy filling. OREO is also the number one selling cookie in the world. The worldwide sales for OREO have reached $AUD 2 Billion and are still growing. OREO worldwide is now so popular that if every OREO cookie ever made were stacked on top of each other (over 490 billion), the pile would reach to the moon and back more than six times.
How did OREO start?
OREO was first manufactured in Feburary, 1912 and was originally sold in bulk tin cans for 30 US cents a pound. These tin cans were the first in their day to have glass tops to allow consumers to view the cookies.
The original OREO was an embossed cookie with a thin wreath-like design on the outer edge, with the OREO name appearing on the plain surface of the cookie.
The design that we see today was developed in 1916 and modified in 1952 to include the Nabisco Cookie Company's colophon.
Where does the name OREO come from?
1. OREO was registered as a Nabisco trademark in 1913, but where does the name come from? The exact origins of the name OREO are uncertain but there are a few theories:
2. OREO was named by taking the "RE" out of cream and sandwiching it between the two "O"s from chocolate - just like the cookie.
3. The name comes from the word "OR" (meaning gold in French) - a colour used on early packaging designs.
4. OREO comes from the Greek word "OREO" which means mountain or hill. When the cookies were first manufacture, it was shaped like a baseball mound - hence the name OREO.
5. Some say the name came about because it just seemed like a nice, melodic combination of sounds with just a few catchy letters and it was easy to pronounce.
further more, Nabisco, cames from "National Biscuit Company" abbreviated.
