National Oreo Cookies Day (1912)-- In 1912, Nabisco had a new idea for a cookie - two chocolate disks with a creme filling in between. The first Oreo cookie looked very similar to the Oreo cookie of today, with only a slight difference in the design on the chocolate disks. The National Biscuit Company (today known as Nabisco) first developed and produced the
Oreo Biscuitat its Chelsea factory in New York City. Today, the block where the factory was located is known as
Oreo Way.Since its introduction, the Oreo cookie has become the best-selling cookie in the US.
