3. Oreo Background and History
The "Oreo Biscuit" was first developed and produced by the National Biscuit Company (today
known as Nabisco) in 1912 at in New York City. The name Oreo was then first trademarked
on March 14, 1912. However, the mystery behind how Oreo got its name still remains
unsure.
Today, Oreo is not only the best selling cookie in United States but it is the world's favorite
best-selling cookie brand of the 21st century with $1.5 billion in global annual revenues.
Kraft Foods is the proud custodian of Oreo, and Oreo is one of the company's 12 “billiondollar” brand.
Oreo is now enjoyed in more than 100 countries around the world like MiddleEast, UK, Pakistan, etc. In markets around the world, Oreo comes in surprising local
flavors, like blueberry and green tea ice cream, and fun shapes and forms, like Oreo Minis
and Triple Double Oreo and several others. We also see many international food companies
using Oreo as a part of their desserts and beverages like Starbucks, Baskin
Robbins, Cadbury, etc and co-marketing accordingly.
One thing remains right at the heart of milk's favorite cookie: the iconic “twist, lick, dunk”
ritual that brings people together like no other biscuit can
