Oreo Cookie Day

Be ready to observe the Oreo Cookie Day today by having your glass of milk handy. This day is recognized across the USA each year on March 6th. It doesn't matter if you dunk them, twist them or eat them whole, Oreos are the cookies that are sure to put a smile on just about anybodies face – both young and old.

Invented in 1912, the late Sam J. Porcello, a former Nabisco food scientist, the Oreo cookie has been a creamy favorite snack for decades and first sold on March 6th. The current design of the cookie has been in place since 1952.

Oreos are the world’s best selling cookie, with more than 450 billion sold. Today, nine out of ten American households buy Oreos and even if we don't live in the US my kids are more than happy to celebrate this day...
