Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Things You Never Knew About Oreos
Not so double-stuffed after all.
Oreos are sold in over 100 countries and hold the title as the world’s best-selling cookie. Still, if you're not convinced that Oreos are the best, these 10 facts about this twistable, lickable, dunkable snack will convince you that they are essentially the perfect cookie.
1. It was created March 6, 1912.
Oreos were first manufactured at the Nabisco factory in New York City on March 6, 1912. Oreo released two flavours that year including original Oreos and a lemon meringue flavour, which was discontinued in 1920.
2. Double Stuff Oreos are a lie.
Double Stuff Oreos are supposed to be double the filling, however, they only are 1.86 times bigger than regular Oreos. Mega Stuff cookies, known to have three times the filling, only have 2.68 times the creme in reality. Still, that's a lot of stuffing, so we'll let these exaggerations slide.
3. More than 123,000 tons of creme are made each year.
Oreo bakeries make more than 123,000 tons of creme to fill their perfect cookies. Each original Oreo cookie is 29 percent creme and 71 percent cookie.
4. It takes 59 minutes to make an Oreo.
Each Oreo wafer is baked for exactly 290.6 seconds at a temperature of 400°F from above and 300°F from below.
5. More than 500 Billion Oreos have been sold.
Since 1912, nearly half a trillion Oreo cookies have been sold around the world. In 2011 alone, more than 35 billion were sold, and more than 10 billion of those were sold in the United States.
and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
