Oreos are a sandwich cookie consisting of two chocolate wafers with a sweet creme filling. They were first developed and produced by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) in 1912 at its Chelsea, New York City factory. Oreo quickly became, and remains, one of the best-selling cookies in the United States. Oreos are most commonly eaten as a snack. They are frequently enjoyed with milk, and a popular method involves twisting the two wafers apart, licking the creme filling, and then eating the wafers. Crushed Oreos are also used as an ingredient in various desserts, such as milkshakes, ice cream, and pie crusts.
