The Oreo cookie was developed and produced by Nabisco in February 1912 at its Chelsea factory in New York City. It was created mainly to target the British market, whose biscuits (English cookies) were seen by Nabisco to be too ‘ordinary’. [2] Originally, Oreo was mound-shaped and available in two flavors; lemon meringue and cream. In America, they were sold for 25 cents a pound in novelty tin cans with glass tops, which allowed customers to see the cookies.

A newer design for the cookie was introduced in 1916, and as the cream filling was by far the more popular of the two available flavors, Nabisco discontinued production of the lemon meringue filling during the 1920s. The modern-day Oreo was developed in 1952 by William A Turnier, [2] to include the Nabisco logo.

Oreo is very similar to the Hydrox cookie manufactured by Sunshine, which was introduced in 1908, leading to speculation that Oreo obtained the idea from Sunshine. Having lost market share to Oreo for years, Hydrox cookies were withdrawn in 1999[3], but was re-introduced by Kellogg’s in August 2008.

The product is distributed under the Kraft parent label and has no mention of the US sub-division Nabisco that is used in all countries where it is available for retail.

Etymology
The Oreo was originally called the Oreo Biscuit, but was later changed to the Oreo Sandwich in 1921. In 1948, the name was changed to the Oreo Creme Sandwich but was changed to the Oreo Chocolate Sandwich in 1974.[4] There are many theories pointing to the origin of the name ‘Oreo’, including derivations from the French word ‘Or’, meaning gold (as early packaging was gold), or the Greek word ‘Oros’, meaning mountain or hill (as the original Oreo was mound shaped) or even the Greek word ‘Oreo’, meaning beautiful or nice.[4] Other theories are that the ‘re’ from cream was ‘sandwiched’ between the two Os from chocolate, or the word ‘just seemed like a nice, melodic combination of sounds’. A TV spot for the Got Milk? campaign showed a false etymology where, when at a board meeting to decide the name of the cookie, one of the members is asked for his opinion; the member, who just ate a cookie and does not have any milk to wash it down responds “I don’t know,” which is heard by the board member as “Oreo.”

Advertising campaign
Nabisco began a marketing program in 2008, advertising the use of Oreos in a game called DSRL, which stands for “Double Stuf Racing League.” The DSRL was introduced one week prior to Super Bowl XLII. This sport had also been endorsed by football brothers Peyton Manning and Eli Manning.[5] Sisters Venus and Serena Williams have also joined, and challenged the Mannings to a race, which started on January 18th, 2009. The race ended when a blimp fell on the competitors.
