National Oreo Day

The Oreo by far was one of my favorite past time as a child.  I used to eat them with milk. I would eat the cream first and then dip cookies in milk.  I cant have them due to allergies unless I want to go to the ER.


How do you enjoy the Oreo?

Five Food Facts about Oreos

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.
