Fun Facts About Oreos

First off — there is a National Oreo Day. It is March 6th. Make sure and celebrate. You know how. 🙂
Oreo cookies were first created at the original Nabisco bakery in New York City in 1912 (the factory is present day Chelsea Market) and sold in a tin for 30 cents per pound. To this day, no one knows why they were called Oreo or what the name means.
They were initially named “Oreo Biscuits.” But the name changed to the “Oreo Crème Sandwich” in the 1940s and to the “Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie” in the 1970s.
The original Oreo recipe included pork fat for the creamy center.

Women are more likely than men to pull apart their Oreos before eating them.
After popular demand, Oreos became Kosher in December 1997. The conversion from non-Kosher to Kosher took about three years and was probably the priciest ever, according to Cornell Food Science Professor Joe Regenstein.
More than 450 billion Oreo cookies have been sold worldwide since their debut. That is enough Oreos, stacked, to reach the moon and back more than five times or, laid side-by-side, to circle the Earth at the equator 381 times (or so they say.)

Some of the most interesting “facts” about Oreos are all the amazing flavors they have come in over the years. But we are going to save that for the next email. You will not believe all the flavors. But we have pictures. 😉
