Because twisting cookies is a personality trait.

🍪 The Sweet History of the Oreo
The Oreo was first introduced in 1912 by the National Biscuit Company (now known as Nabisco) in New York City. It debuted as a simple chocolate sandwich cookie with vanilla creme filling—and the world was never the same.
Fun fact? It was originally sold by weight in tins for 25 cents a pound. Can you imagine walking into a shop and saying, “Yes, I’ll take a pound of Oreos,” like you're buying deli meat? Iconic behavior.
Over the years, Oreo evolved from classic chocolate to Double Stuf (which, let’s be honest, is the superior ratio), to Golden, to seasonal flavors that range from delightful to deeply confusing (looking at you, Wasabi edition).
Today, Oreos are sold in over 100 countries and are the best-selling cookie in the world. That’s not just popularity. That’s global domination—with milk.
🍪 7 Delightfully Dunkable Fun Facts
Oreos have been around for over 110 years. That’s generational loyalty.
The design on the cookie has over 90 ridges and 12 flowers. Fancy little thing.
Double Stuf does not technically have double the filling. (We’ve all been betrayed.)
There have been over 85+ flavors globally.
The name “Oreo” is still somewhat mysterious in origin. Drama!
Oreos are dairy-free (yes, really).
More than 450 billion Oreos have been sold worldwide. Billion. With a B.
