*This is an American Holiday… any reason to celebrate right?
Ok, it’s not an official holiday, it may not be recognised by our bosses, or by the church.
We don’t get a day off work or any presents, but that doesn’t mean today can’t be your BEST DAY YET.
And, so what if the Oreo is a traditional American snack food? we don’t think it gets enough plaudits around here.
HISTORY TIME.
The National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) first developed and produced the “Oreo Biscuit” in 1912 at its Chelsea factory in New York City. Today, the block on which the factory was located is known as “Oreo Way”.
It’s fun to learn…
- The name “Oreo” was first trademarked on March 14, 1912.
- The first Oreo cookies in the United States sold for 25 cents a pound in clear glass topped novelty cans.
- In 1912, the Oreo Biscuit was renamed to “Oreo Sandwich”.
- In 1948, the Oreo Sandwich was renamed “Oreo Creme Sandwich”.
- William A. Turnier developed the modern-day Oreo design in 1952 to include the Nabisco logo.
- Nabisco’s principal food scientist, Sam Procello, developed the modern Oreo cookie filling
Now you’re completely up to scratch with all your Oreo history we implore you, to take a moment, buy a pack of Oreos, grab some milk, live your best life and DUNK.
Happy National Oreo Day.
