From Hydrox to Oreo: How One Cookie Became a Global Sensation

Oreo Cookie Recipes

 The Oreo cookie is a popular brand of sandwich cookie that was first developed and produced by the National Biscuit Company (later known as Nabisco) in 1912. The cookie consists of two chocolate wafers with a sweet cream filling in between.

The origins of the Oreo cookie can be traced back to a biscuit called the "Hydrox," which was first produced by the Sunshine Biscuits company in 1908. The Oreo cookie was created to compete with the Hydrox and was first marketed as an "Oreo Biscuit." The name "Oreo" was eventually trademarked in 1912, and the cookie quickly became a best-seller.

Over the years, Oreo cookies have undergone several changes and variations, including the introduction of different flavors and filling types. Nabisco, the company that produces Oreos, has also run various advertising campaigns, including the famous "Twist, Lick, Dunk" slogan, that has helped to make Oreos one of the most recognizable and iconic brands in the world.

Today, Oreo cookies are produced in various countries worldwide and sold in over 150 different countries and has became one of the most popular cookies in the world.
