Etymology. The origin of the name "Oreo" is unknown, but there are many hypotheses, including derivations from the French word or, meaning "gold", or from the Greek word ωραίο (oreo) meaning "nice" or "attractive". Others believe that the cookie was named Oreo simply because the name was short and easy to pronounce.

The creamy filling inside an oreo is not cream because the recipe contains no milk product as such the FDA prohibits Nabisco from labelling the creation as cream. The creme is made from some combination of sugar, high fructose, corn syrup, soy lecithin, artificial flavour and palm or canola oil.

Oreo was created in 1912 as an imitation of Hydrox. Oreo eventually surpassed Hydrox in popularity, which resulted in the Hydrox cookies being perceived by many as an Oreo off-brand, despite the opposite being the case.

Nabisco's seasonal Winter Oreos, which have a red filling, have 31 mg of Red 40 per serving.

The Oreo flavor does have a hint of cocoa flavor, a bit of chocolateyness and bitterness, but the flavor of the salt and the alkaline baking soda in them is at least as strong. If you taste carefully, you can also taste the Oreos from the last batch they mixed in. (This is a common industry practice.)

They called their creation Hydrox. It was America's first chocolate sandwich cookie. Most people think of Oreos as a key ingredient in Cookies and Cream ice cream, but many ice cream parlors used to use Hydrox.

Last year, Mondelez (Oreo's parent company) released a treat dubbed The Most Stuf — a cookie with three times the filling of a traditional Oreo.

The pop sing- er's branded Oreos — inspired by her album, “Chromatica” — have become a viral sensation, with fans posting on Twitter and Instagram about snagging packages of the green-and-pink cookies. “It's been incredible and beat our wildest expectations,” Oreo senior director Justin Parnell tells Variety.

It wasn't until very recently, around 1938, that chocolate chip cookies were first invented. Unlike a lot of other things, the chocolate chip cookie was not invented by accident. During the 1930s, a chef named Ruth Graves Wakefield decided to give something different to her customers.

The Oreo brand has been owned by Mondelez International since 2012. According to Mondelez, it takes two hours to make and bake one Oreo cookie. The company operates factories in 18 countries around the world that produce 40 billion cookies per year.

The classic Oreo and many of its flavor iterations are completely devoid of animal ingredients, which leads to a natural follow-up question: what is the cream filling made out of? Well, it's made of quite a few ingredients, but none of them are dairy-based milk or cream.

The longer answer. As the Oreo FAQ page states, while Oreos are indeed veggie-friendly, they are not strictly vegan as 'Oreo have milk as cross-contact and therefore they are not suitable for vegans'.

However, Oreos aren't made from unprocessed cocoa. They're made from cocoa that has been refined through an alkalizing process -- which is often called "Dutch process chocolate." (According to Martha Stewart, Dutch process chocolate, which is the type of chocolate most often used in recipes, is is milder and smoother.)

Oreos have been a dairy-free and vegan treat since they first launched. Despite the creamy center filling, the cookie contains no milk. With the exception of a few flavors that contain some animal ingredients like honey, most Oreos are vegan.
