OREOS

Jordan MayBlock 3

history• The Oreo cookie was developed and produced by Nabisco in February 1912 at

its Chelsea factory in New York City. It was created mainly to target the British market, whose biscuits (English cookies) were seen by Nabisco to be too 'ordinary'. [2] Originally, Oreo was mound-shaped and available in two flavors; lemon meringue and cream. In America, they were sold for 25 cents a pound in novelty tin cans with glass tops, which allowed customers to see the cookies.

• A newer design for the cookie was introduced in 1916, and as the cream filling was by far the more popular of the two available flavors, Nabisco discontinued production of the lemon meringue filling during the 1920s. The modern-day Oreo was developed in 1952 by William A Turnier, [2] to include the Nabisco logo.

• Oreo is very similar to the Hydrox cookie manufactured by Sunshine, which was introduced in 1908, leading to speculation that Oreo obtained the idea from Sunshine. Having lost market share to Oreo for years, Hydrox cookies were withdrawn in 1999[3], but was re-introduced by Kellogg's in August 2008
