National Oreo Cookie Day

The Oreo sandwich cookie is made up of two chocolate disks containing a sweet cream filling and is loved by millions. Since its introduction, the Oreo cookie has become the best-selling cookie in the United States.

The National Biscuit Company (today known as 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.”

  • 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 “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.
  • Celebrate the day by taking a poll of your friends and family and finding out how they eat their Oreos.
  • Dunk them in milk.
  • Crush them up and sprinkle them on ice cream.
  • Use them to make a delicious dessert
  • Share them with a friend.
  • Try a new flavor of Oreos.
  • Grab a glass of milk and a handful of Oreos to enjoy

National Oreo Cookie Day History

National Day Calendar continues to research the origins of this iconic cookie holiday. However, we suspect an Oreo lover created the day. 

Oreo FAQ

Q. How many different ways are there to eat an Oreo?
A. You're only limited by your imagination. Try these ideas:

  • Twist them apart, eat the cream center, and put them back together.
  • Twist them apart, eat the cream and cookie side first, and cookie only side last
  • Eat the cookie side first, and the cookie and cream side last
  • Any combination of the above while dunking in milk
  • Skip the milk and eat them whole.
  • Eat them whole, with milk but no dunking
  • Eat them whole dunking all the way
  • Some other interesting combination the world has never heard about

    1. WHAT?!?! If you like chocolate, you must try them. BUT...when my kiddos were young, all I bought was Hydrox. Very similar, but made with dark chocolate. When they created their own homes, they complained that Oreos didn't taste the same. They will tell you that they don't like dark chocolate, but that's the difference. Now Hydrox cookies have to be special ordered.
