Today I will be twisting the top off Oreo cookies and celebrating the famous cookie's 100th birthday with a glass of milk. How will you celebrate the day?
It all began one hundred years ago in a Nabisco bakery in Manhattan. Bakers mixed flour with cocoa, sugar and oil to make the base cake and then added the special cream center to make the first Oreo cookie sandwiches. Yum! The Oreos were then sold in tins in stores in Hoboken, NJ.
According to the Oreo experts, approximately half of us like to take apart an Oreo cookie sandwich before we have the first bite. That's how I eat them. Are you like me too?
Did you know Oreo has a channel on YouTube. My personal fave is the Oreo commercial from France with a little girl teaching her Dad the "right" way to eat an Oreo cookie.
Celebrate Oreo's birthday:
- Send an Oreo Birthday Cookie Gram from Nabisco for $3.99
- Follow Oreo Cookie on Twitter
- Like Oreo on Facebook.
