The oreo cookie turns 100 today.

It's been a century since the first person twisted, licked and dunked. The Oreo turns 100 Tuesday. The cookie was born on March 6, 1912 in a Manhattan biscuit factory. Two decoratively embossed chocolate-flavored wafers met up with a rich cream filling.


To celebrate, Kraft, the company that now owns Oreo, is releasing a limited-edition birthday cake version of the creme-filled sandwich cookies. Oreo's are sold in a hundred countries and fetch more than a million dollars in global revenue. The cookies even have a Facebook following, with 25-million fans.


A statement on Oreo's official web site says: "In a world that's become far too adult, a couple of Oreo cookies, a glass of milk, and a shared twist, lick and dunk is all it takes to set your inner kid loose." On the site, you can send birthday video messages.

And- for $3.99, you can buy a cookie gram and send a coupon to a friend's smartphone for a package of Oreo's.

Meh. Hydrox (the original ones, not that crap they sell today) were always better. Hell, the $1 a pack store brand ones are better. Hydrox were also introduced before Oreos.
 
Been eating Oreo's since I'm a kid. That's about 50 some odd years. I'm still relatively thin considering all the crap I've eaten over the years.
 
Had a deep-fried one 2 days ago at the county fair. Don't much care for them as they are, but deep frying in batter...yummy!
 
was never much of a cookie person and never really loved oreos that much either. but people must love them if they've been around that long.
 
I always liked Oreos, double stuffed, and a nice big glass of milk for dunking.

Speaking as someone who has been eating Oreos since elementary school(i am now almost 25)-

the only oreo that exists is the double stuff-all other oreos are inferrior.

In addition, because I have been eating oreo for over a decade, I believe I am the reason Nabisco is in business.

Hell-I should have a controlling share!
 
Now, while I like most varieties of Oreo (the original, Double Stuff, the coffee-flavored filling that seems not to have survived test-marketing)...

...the best:

Kicks Thin Mints right out of the ballpark. 😀
 
Oreos may be America's favorite cookie BUT once you taste Tim-Tams, from Australia you will NEVER eat an Oreo again! Tim-Tams blow away ANY Oreo or Hydrox!
