Oreo is a popular sandwich cookie that consists of two circular chocolate wafers with a sweet cream filling in between. It was first introduced by the Nabisco division of Kraft Foods in the United States in 1912 and has since become one of the best-selling cookies in the world.
Over the years, many different flavors and varieties of Oreos have been introduced, including Double Stuf Oreos, Golden Oreos, Chocolate Oreos, and even limited-edition flavors like Pumpkin Spice Oreos and Watermelon Oreos. The Oreo has also been featured in various desserts, such as Oreo ice cream, Oreo cheesecake, and Oreo milkshakes.
The way people eat Oreos has also become a subject of debate, with some people twisting the cookie apart to eat the cream filling first, while others prefer to dunk the cookie in milk before eating it. Regardless of how it’s eaten, Oreo remains a beloved treat for many people around the world.
