Oreos!
How were Oreos created? Well in 1898 several baking companies merged to form the National Biscuit Company. In 1912 they had the idea to make a cookie with 2 sides to it, with icing in the middle. So how did the Oreo get it's name you ask? Well we don't know for sure. Some people say it's because the first Oreo box was gold and the French word for gold is or. Others believe it's because they took the r-e from cream and stuck it in the middle of the two o's in chocolate. Regardless of how it got it's name, Oreos are popular all over the world.
