Happy 100th anniversary to the Oreo cookie!

     There’s nothing more delicious, or more peculiar than an Oreo. For starters, how in the world are you supposed to eat the thing? Do you bite right into the middle of the cookie or do you twist it and lick the crèam first? 

     The Oreo was created 100 years ago at a Nabisco factory in New York City. And honestly, not all that much as changed. The chocolate wafers still feature twelve flowers surrounding the Nabisco logo. The Oreo is 29 percent cream, 71 percent cookie. And more than 345 billion wafers later, it is still the nation’s favorite cookie. 

     According to Fox Business Network, the Oreo's owner, Kraft Foods, says the cookie brings in $2 billion a year in sales from around the world. Oreos are sold in 100 different countries and are most popular here in the U.S., followed by China and Venezuela.
