The untold truth of Oreos
Oreos: The best-selling cookies in the world
Oreos have been around since 1912. They are the best-selling cookies in the world and sold in over 100 countries.
When they were introduced in 1912, they were known as Oreo...
Oreo was not an original concept
Food scientist Sam J. Porcello invented the newer version of the Oreo. He was one of the world's foremost experts on cocoa and helped develop the extra indulgent chocolate and white chocolate-covered Oreo.
The original recipe for Oreo cookies contained lard (pork fat). With the changing climate of the low-fat 1990s, the lard was replaced, and the cookie became kosher and unexpectedly also vegan.
Unusual Oreos
- In 1984, The Oreo Big Stuf was launched. Individually wrapped, the snack was a massive 316 calories (a single Oreo contains about 53 calories) and took around 20 minutes to eat.
- Oreo cookies are also used in pie crusts, churros, and ice cream cones.
- In January 2017, Virginia-based The Veil Brewing Company released a version of their chocolate milk stout infused with real Oreo cookies. It was sold out within a week.
- Game of Thrones Oreo: One winter, a special edition Oreos came out embossed with the crests of the four remaining (at the time) houses. The cookie company went to the production company that made the main titles for GoT Elastic. The Oreo-meets-GoT universe took about 2,750 computer-generated Oreos with 20 million crumbs scattered throughout the Oreo-scape.

The elegant secret to self-discipline
The secret to self-discipline
The elegant secret to discipline: valuing your future self as highly as you value your current self, at least long enough to get your Right Now Self to do the right thing.
The choices of your Past Selves
You are currently experiencing the future of all your Past Selves. Their choices have come to fruition.
If you would like better fruits, make your Right Now Self into someone who, as a habit, rolls out the red carpet for Future Self.
Catch yourself cheating
Recognize the moments when you’re about to sell out your Future Self: They often happen when you are in retail establishments and involve televisions or other gratifying electronic devices, high-fructose corn syrup and disposable packaging.
