A little history of the Oreos
The sandwich biscuit first arrived on the market way back 1912. So, if you had any doubts, I'll clarify it immediately: the Ringo - bitter enemies - are much younger, even if more widespread in Italy.
According to Wikipedia, the company Nabisco was born in New York. The idea was to revolutionize the concept of a classic and somewhat boring biscuit. Initially, its shape was different (it looks like it was similar to a small mountain) and it was available in two flavors: cream and lemon meringue.

The American people immediately developed a clear preference for the first taste, which later became the traditional one of the Oreos. Thus, in 1916, the shape of the biscuit changed and the main taste was cream. Finally, in 1952 the design of the treats became what we know.
As regards the nome "Oreo", there are several theories about it because the company that invented it was never clear about it:
- It could come from the Greek: "oros" or "mountain" (just to remember the initial form) or "oreos" that is "beautiful";
- From the French "or" meaning "gold", connecting to the color of the first packaging.
Oreo: the strangest tastes you wouldn't dare to imagine
Given the right premises, Oreos are traditionally known as the biscuit consisting of two wafers and a layer of vanilla cream. In fact, over the years variants have come on the market that you would not even dare to imagine.
Some can be considered real successes, which then remained available to the public. Others, or they were limited edition or they clashed - failing miserably - against the tastes of consumers.
When I was in the United States, I spent tens of minutes in the Thousand Department types of Oreo. With us, in Italy, the tastes are still the traditional ones. At most we can find the chocolate ones.

Not only tastes, but also versions. In fact, the classic biscuit loved all over the world has continued to innovate even in its shapes. Oreos are currently available in form standard, ultra thin and double filling. Without forgetting the size, the famous sweets are also sold in mini size! The basic mixture of the two pods is also available with chocolate or vanilla.
Regarding the packaging, the manufacturing company has thought of everyone. Maxi packs, in paper or plastic, tubes, single portions, sachets. There is something for everyone!
Finally, how to neglect the products "derived" from the Oreos. There are cakes, candies, snacks, cheesecake dough, candy canes, ice cream, chocolate bars and lots of other hyper-calorie treats.
Each consumer therefore has at their disposal the version they prefer. In fact, alongside those who love the explosion of filling at the first bite, there are those who believe it is even disgusting to fill the biscuit with cream. Better a thin layer, which gives flavor without being too sweet. To each his Oreo, which is yours?
