THE BIRTH OF THE OREO® COOKIE
The OREO® cookie was born in 1912, but no one seems to know for sure where the name came from. Since then over 362 billion of these cream-filled chocolate wonders have been eaten, making them the world's most famous cookie. If all 362 billion OREO® cookies were stacked on top of each other the pile would reach the moon and back more than five times. Now that's a lot of cookies!
