Oreo Cookies

For nearly 100 years, the Oreo has been one of America's most popular cookies. It hasn't changed much since its introduction in 1912, and countless variations and adaptations have joined the classic combination of two chocolate wafers sandwiching a sweet white cream.

No matter how you eat it (a matter of great debate), the Oreo is one of America's all-time greatest treats.

The Oreo Pizza

Domino's has recently introduced the Oreo Pizza, a 10-inch dessert crust topped with vanilla sauce, Oreos, and white icing. (In other words, a sugar pizza topped with sugar, cookies, and sugar.) I don't doubt that it tastes good, but I do question the advertising team that decided this commercial was a good idea. The Oreo mustache gets a reaction from my stomach, but I suspect it's not the reaction they were hoping for.
