Oreos, a sandwich cookie consisting of two chocolate wafers with a sweet creme filling in between, bring joy all around the world for over years. Here's a fun fact: Oreo has become the best-selling cookie of the 20th century since its introduction in as Oreo Biscuit with more than billion Oreo cookies sold to date worldwide.
Its design has mainly stayed the same with only few changes over the years. The first design was simple — with the name Oreo and a wreath at the edge. In , the company augmented the original design to go with a name tweak.
The design added a ring of laurels and two turtledoves. Over the years, Nabisco has developed several other Oreo products.

In the United Kingdom, following stocking of Oreo as Oreo biscuits in the supermarket chain Sainsbury's, Kraft decided to fully launch the Oreo across the UK, repackaged in the more familiar British tube design.
In January , healthier and more expensive non-hydrogenated vegetable oil was put into Oreos instead of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which in turn previously replaced lard. Beginning in the early s, Oreo began releasing limited edition runs of cookies with more exotic flavours.
These typically appear in stores only once, but Birthday Cake Oreos, celebrating th anniversary, originally introduced in , have since become permanently available.

The name Oreo was first trademarked on March 14th, Originally, Oreos were sold in tins and sold by weight. The very first Oreo was sold to a grocer in New Jersey. Another theory points to a class of appetite stimulants called orexigenics as the source of name.
As a very inquisitive math class found out, Double Stuf actually equated to about 1. Before the treat became known as"Milk's Favorite Cookie" as of , Oreo tried out quite a few slogans. The s feel like a time of indecision for the company — it changed slogans five times in the span of 10 years.
