| Oreo Ad: 1960 |
In 1921, Nabisco dropped 'Biscuit' from the name and called it 'Oreo Sandwich'. In 1948 it was called the 'Oreo Creme Sandwich' and today it's marketed as the Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie. Over the years there have been many variations -- Mini Oreos, Double Delight, Triple stuffed, Lemon-Cream, Chocolate Covered Mint Oreos, Halloween Oreos, Green Tea Oreos--even Oreo O's Cereal made by Post. For a much more complete and terrific history of Oreos go to Months of Edible Celebrations 2008 post. For those who are interested in cookie history, the Hydrox chocolate sandwich cookie predated Oreos by four years. Read more here.
So how do you eat your Oreos? Do you dunk them? Do you open them and lick the filling and then eat the cookies?
I've posted scads of Oreo-based tasty treats here on DyingforChocolate. But here's an easy recipe for One Bowl Oreo Brownies. you'll love these!

These sound great, Janet--thanks! And to answer your question, I open the cookie, eat the naked half first, and then eat the half with the filling. I love building to a climax.
