Oreo White Russian Cocktail Recipe
It’s unfathomable to think of eating an Oreo without milk. However, for some diehard cookie enthusiasts, milk isn’t milk without an Oreo!
While that may sound extreme, there’s no denying the power of Oreos in the current cookie market. According to recent statistics, Nabisco’s Oreos are still the most valuable cookie brand on earth. Oreos hit the incredible $3.1 billion sales mark in 2019. That translates to roughly 40 billion cookies per year.
In case you were wondering, Nabisco also holds the second most-bought cookie brand: Chips Ahoy. Surprisingly, the breakfast bar brand BelVita gets the bronze medal.
By the way, Oreo Double-Stuffed usually ends up in the top-five best-selling cookie brands every year. Apparently, not as many customers are keen on the “healthy-ish” Oreo Thins!

It’s hard to find someone on earth who doesn’t know about Oreos. Heck, these cookies are now sold in roughly 100 countries. But do you know the origins of this famous cookie brand?
For instance, early in Oreos’ history, Nabisco offered two flavor options. In addition to the chocolate & cream we all know and love, there was a lemon & cream Oreo cookie. While you could find throwback lemon Oreos nowadays, the originals didn’t make it through the 1920s.
Interestingly, one of the biggest mysteries surrounding Oreos is its name. Nobody knows what the heck “Oreo” refers to.
Some claim “Oreo” a reference to the Greek word for “mountain,” and others say it may hint at the French word for gold (as the original Oreo container contained gold foil). Many others speculate that “Oreo” is just a great-sounding nonsensical word.
One thing that’s not up for debate is how addictive Oreos are. In fact, recent scientific evidence suggests Oreos trigger similar brain regions as cocaine! So, yeah, good luck with portion control!
