How many of these fun Oreo facts did you know before this survey?
Oreo cookies were first manufactured in 1912 by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) and were released as part of a trio of "highest class biscuits" that included Mother Goose Biscuit and Veronese Biscuits (both long gone)

Because Nabisco has never revealed a meaning behind the name, people have come up with some theories of their own. Some think the word "Oreo" represents the cookie itself, with the two "O's" as the wafers and the "RE" as the cream, according to Serious Eats. The original packaging was gold, so one theory is that it comes from the word "or," which is the French word for "gold." Another points to a class of appetite stimulants called orexigenics as the source of name. Some say the word comes from "Oreodaphne," which is the genus of flower found on Hydrox cookies.

In 1992, Weird Al Yankovic released his album "Off the Deep End," which included a song dedicated to Oreo. A parody of the song "The Right Stuff" by New Kids on the Block, "The White Stuff" was a tribute to the cookie

Oreo got its start at the Nabisco headquarters in New York City. And although Google has since purchased the building, Oreo has definitely left a mark on the area. In 2002, an entire stretch of Ninth Avenue in New York, where the building stands, was renamed "Oreo Way" to commemorate the cookie and its impact on the country

Of course, the original Oreo is the most popular, with the Double Stuf a very close second. The first flavor they added to the brand was a lemon-filled Oreo, but it was soon discontinued. It wasn't until the 2000s when the company began releasing numerous limited edition and holiday-themed flavors every year. Which of the following variations have you tried?
