Oreo cookies have been around since 1912, where they were developed and produced in NYC, and ever since they've grown and spread to different countries around the world to be enjoyed by more and more people. And I can say that I'm definately one of those people!

...a few years ago.
An Oreo is a cookie style biscuit that derives from America back in the eartly 1900's. It's two chocolate cookies with a white cream filling. The history of an Oreo cookie is paired with stories of dunking in milk. I can't personally imagine myself doing that with these but they are delicious in their own right.
I bought mine in a box containing four snack packs. This makes them perfect for the lunch box, if not a healthy option.
... ...one of the nicest.
Oreo cookies are made by Nabisco (Kraft) foods. They don't seem to be too widely available in supermarkets, but now I've found them I know where to go back to. My box containing four snack packs was 59p, excellent value for a lunch box styled product. As normally anything put into smaller packets seem to be more expensive for some reason.
The exact calorific amounts are unknown to me but after a bit of searching, I imagine these ...

...at once!
The original Oreo cookie was created in 1912 in New York City by Nabisco at one of their factories. The original purpose of creating the cookie was to target the British biscuit market as Nabisco thought that British biscuits were too boring!
Even thought the makers originally made the biscuit for a foreign market, I don’t think they anticipated the success that it would have at home in the USA! It is one of the best known cookies in the ... ...Nabisco have cashed in on Oreo by making other varieties of the biscuit. There are currently 52 Oreo relates snacks available to buy in the USA. Some of these sound delicious but very fattening. For example there is an Oreo Crust Pie which in total contains 780 calories!
There are also ‘Pure White Fudge Covered Oreo Sandwiches’ which sound incredible. In the covered range there is also ‘Milk Chocolate Covered Oreos’ and ‘Milk Chocolate Covered Mint’. ...

...eat the middle of an Oreo first and save the chocolate cookie outside for last." I'm sure most of you have never heard that little jingle before, but I grew up with it. This was the jingle used on the Nabisco advert for Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Biscuits, or as I like to call them, cookies.

According to Nabisco, there are several theories. One theory is that it was named by taking the "RE" out of cream and sandwiching it between the two "O"s from the word chocolate.
Another theory is that it was just an easy name to pronounce with just a few letters, that had a nice ring to it. Yet another is that it came from the french word for gold, "or", a colour used years ago on the packaging. Whatever the answer, ...

I was in Tesco looking at the biscuits, and I didn't want something boring like a rich tea biscuit, but something that looked new, fun and exciting! I saw "Oreo's" and decided that THOSE looked nice!
Overall Quality
The "Oreo" itself, is a chocolate biscuit, sandwiched with vinilla. It's very clean, and isn't unhygenic like some foods, and is really nice.
Value For Money
I brought a single pack for about 59p which is good value, I got a "Snack ... ...is clean and is made out of cardboard. You can recycle cardboard which is good for the enviroment!
How loyal am I to this brand?
I am very loyal to "Kraft", who make "Oreo's", I don't know if they make other products but if they do, I don't think they could top "Oreo's"!
Taste
"Oreo's" taste a bit like cocoa powder on it's own, but it doesn't taste disgusting, they are chocolate flavoured sandwich biscuits!
Overall

Oreo is the biggest selling cookie in America, as well as the biggest selling cookie in the world. Two simple round chocolate biscuits surround a white creamy filling to produce a sandwich that combines the taste of vanilla and chocolate. It is perhaps this simple nature of the cookie that makes it so appealing.
The chocolate is dark brown and is more like dark chocolate, i.e. slightly bitter and not too sweet, than your milk ... ...inch high and have the Oreo symbol emblazoned on each biscuit.
The biscuit and the cream both have pleasant tastes and textures when separated, and somehow manage not to stick to your mouth too much like many other similar cookies (even when soggy with milk).
There are several methods of eating them:
-Popping the whole biscuit (or multiple biscuits if you have a big mouth!)into to your mouth and chomping - this is the quickest and easiest method ...

I'm often on the look out for different biscuits and in my mind, the best time to try something new is when they are on special offer. This is why, when I was in Sainsburys the other day and I spotted packets of Oreos on sale for only 37 pence, I thought I would give them a go! I find it's actually surprising that we haven't bought these before as they do seem to have been around for ages, but I guess I just haven't seen them at this price before!

In essence it's two chocolate biscuits cemented together with a white sugary filling. So simple, but then some of the best things are simple.

Not only is it one of the tastiest snacks around, it's also one of the most fun!

Advantages: Makes a change to British biccies... Disadvantages: Can be hard & dry.
Oreo cookies became widely available in the UK only last year, having been a tradition in America for over 50 years. They had been available for a few years prior at Sainsbury’s in individual snack size packs, but can now be found at all big supermarkets in the usual barrel-shaped packaging, along with snack tubs containing mini Oreo’s, & snack packs featuring individual packs of 4 regular sized cookies. British consumers may have had prior experience ... ...American tradition of twisting an Oreo apart, licking the vanilla cream off the biscuit, then dunking the biscuit in milk before eating.
When I lived in America I wasn’t overly keen on Oreo’s, but since their introduction here they have become a popular item in the weekly shop & I quite like them now. I wouldn’t say they were a favourite or anything but I will eat the odd one even when there are other biscuits left in the cupboard, so obviously ...

The oreo is the best selling cookie of the 20th century, and it is extremely easy to see why! I feel that the oreo is the best biscuit/cookie that you could ever taste!

Some people believe that the cookie's name was taken from the French word for gold, "or" (the main colour on early oreo packages).
Others claim the name came from the shape of a hill shaped test version of the biscuit, therefore, naming the cookie in Greek for mountain, "oreo".
Some others believe the name is a combination of taking the "re" from "cream" ...
