About Oreo

Oreo is a sandwich cookie introduced by the National Biscuit Company in 1912, closely modelled on a competitor's Hydrox biscuit that had launched four years earlier and that it eventually eclipsed. The embossed pattern on the wafer has changed several times, and it is now the largest biscuit brand in the world by revenue.
