The origin of the name "Oreo" is obscure, but there are many hypotheses, including derivations from the French word {{Lang|fr|or}}, meaning "gold" (the original tin was gold-colored{{Cite news |last=Bartiromo |first=Michael |date=8 April 2023 |title=What does 'Oreo' mean?

She observes that the original design of the Oreo includes a laurel wreath, and the names of several of Nabisco's cookies at the time of the original Oreo had botanical derivations, including Avena, Lotus, and Helicon (from Heliconia).{{Cite web|url=http://www.seriouseats.com/2017/08/history-of-oreos-bravetart-cookbook.html|title=How Oreos Got Their Name: The Rise of an American Icon|last=Parks|first=Stella|orig-year=August 15, 2017|date= February 5, 2019|publisher=Serious Eats|access-date=March 6, 2019}}{{Cite book|title=BraveTart|last=Parks|first=Stella|publisher=W.

The Oreo Biscuit was renamed in 1921 to "Oreo Sandwich"; in 1948, the name was changed to "Oreo Crème Sandwich"; and in 1974 it became the "Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie", the name that has remained to this day. A new design for the face of the cookie was launched in 1924; the modern-day Oreo design was developed in 1952 by William A. Turnier,{{Cite web |url=http://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/the-story-of-william-a-turnier-the-man-who-designed-the-oreo-cookie/Content?oid=2640604 |title=The story of William A.

In 1920, a second lemon crème-filled variety of the Oreo was introduced, as an alternative to the white crème-filled variety, but this was discontinued in 1924 and the original flavor was the only version available for the next several decades.{{Cite book |title=The Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets |last=Goldstein |first=Darra |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2015 |isbn=978-0-19-931339-6 |pages=494 |author-link=Darra Goldstein}}

The modern Oreo cookie filling was developed by Nabisco's principal food scientist, Sam Porcello,{{Cite magazine|url=https://newsfeed.time.com/2012/05/24/farewell-mr-oreo-man-who-invented-oreo-filling-dies-at-76/ |title=RIP, 'Mr.Oreo': Man Who Invented Oreo Filling Dies At 76 |last=Locker |first=Melissa |date=May 24, 2012 |magazine=TIME NewsFeed |access-date=June 2, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120705092413/https://newsfeed.time.com/2012/05/24/farewell-mr-oreo-man-who-invented-oreo-filling-dies-at-76/ |archive-date=July 5, 2012}} who retired from Nabisco in 1993. Porcello held five patents directly related to his work on the Oreo; he also created a range of Oreo cookies that were covered in dark chocolate and white chocolate. In the early 1990s, health concerns prompted Nabisco to replace the lard in the crème filling with partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.{{Cite news |url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-oreo-3,0,3862619,full.story |title=For every fad, another cookie |last1=Alexander |first1=Delroy |date=August 23, 2005 |work=Chicago Tribune |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016205310/http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-oreo-3,0,3862619,full.story |archive-date=October 16, 2013 |url-status = dead|last2=Manier |first2=Jeremy |last3=Callahan |first3=Patricia |author3-link=Patricia Callahan}} This also made it possible for the bakery to become kosher-certified, a lengthy and expensive process for Nabisco.{{Cite web |title=Getting the lard out: The koshering of the Oreo cookie |url=https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2008/02/getting-lard-out-koshering-oreo-cookie |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130608145415/https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2008/02/getting-lard-out-koshering-oreo-cookie |archive-date=2013-06-08 |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=Cornell Chronicle }} Similarly, Oreo cookies are popular with people that have certain dietary restrictions, such as vegans, as the crème filling does not use any animal products.{{Cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/12/surprising-vegan-foods_n_3895853.html |title=12 Surprising Vegan Foods |date=September 12, 2013 |work=The Huffington Post |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130918010933/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/12/surprising-vegan-foods_n_3895853.html |archive-date=September 18, 2013}} However, there is still a risk of cross-contamination from other dairy-containing products made in the same production areas; in the FAQ section of the Oreo website, on the question of whether Oreo cookies are suitable for vegans, the response is "Many Oreo products are suitable for vegans but may include cross-contaminants of milk, so please check allergen advice."{{Cite web|title=Orep UK FAQs |url=https://www.oreo.co.uk/faq |access-date=July 17, 2023 |website=Oreo UK |url-status=live |archive-date=July 1, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230701210911/https://oreo.co.uk/faq/}}

In January 2006, Nabisco and its parent (at the time) Kraft Foods eliminated the trans fat in the Oreo cookie and replaced it with non-hydrogenated vegetable oil as one of the main ingredients for Oreo cookies in general.{{Cite journal |url=https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199906243402511 |title=Trans Fatty Acids and Coronary Heart Disease |access-date=September 14, 2006 |author1=Ascherio, A. |author2=Katan, M.

When the power went out during Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, the Oreo marketing team tweeted "you can still dunk in the dark" from its social media command center; this was retweeted almost 15,000 times and increased Oreo's count of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram followers.{{cite web|first=Jenny |last=Rooney |title=Behind The Scenes Of Oreo's Real-Time Super Bowl Slam Dunk |work=Forbes |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferrooney/2013/02/04/behind-the-scenes-of-oreos-real-time-super-bowl-slam-dunk/?sh=2e7153862e66 |date=February 4, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220225224232/https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferrooney/2013/02/04/behind-the-scenes-of-oreos-real-time-super-bowl-slam-dunk/?sh=20bd130a2e66 |archive-date=February 25, 2022}} One commentator remarked that this "solidified the viability and necessity of real-time marketing".{{cite web|first=Jenny |last=Rooney |title=Lisa Mann Pulled The Trigger On The 'Oreo Tweet;' Now She's Heading Up Marketing At Kind |work=Forbes |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferrooney/2015/03/03/lisa-mann-had-her-hand-on-the-trigger-of-the-oreo-tweet-now-shes-heading-up-marketing-at-kind/?sh=66c0fba428a0 |date=March 3, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220225224231/https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferrooney/2015/03/03/lisa-mann-had-her-hand-on-the-trigger-of-the-oreo-tweet-now-shes-heading-up-marketing-at-kind/?sh=3e1cfd3728a0 |archive-date=February 25, 2022}}

Oreo cookies are distributed worldwide through a variety of sales and marketing channels. As their popularity continues to grow, so too does the amount of distribution that comes with it. According to the Kraft Foods company, the Oreo is the "World's Best Selling Cookie".{{Cite web |url=http://www.kraftfoodscompany.com/sitecollectiondocuments/pdf/Oreo_Global_Fact_Sheet_100th_Birthday_as_on_Jan_12_2012_FINAL.pdf |title=Oreo Global Fact Sheet|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131028094642/http://www.kraftfoodscompany.com/sitecollectiondocuments/pdf/Oreo_Global_Fact_Sheet_100th_Birthday_as_on_Jan_12_2012_FINAL.pdf|archive-date=October 28, 2013 |url-status = dead}} In March 2012, Time magazine reported that Oreo cookies were available in more than 100 countries. Overall, it is estimated that since the Oreo cookie's inception in 1912, over 450 billion Oreos have been produced worldwide.

Oreos were first introduced into Britain through the supermarket chain Sainsbury's. For several years, this was the only supermarket chain in the UK to stock the Oreo until May 2008, when Kraft decided to fully launch the Oreo across the whole of the UK. Its packaging was redesigned into the more familiar British tube design, accompanied by a £4.5M television advertising campaign based around the "twist, lick, dunk" catchphrase.{{Cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7376123.stm |title=Can Oreo win over British biscuit lovers? |publisher=BBC News Magazine |date=May 2, 2008 |last=Geoghegan |first=Tom |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080505060626/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7376123.stm |archive-date=May 5, 2008}} In a 2020 national poll the Oreo was ranked the 16th most popular biscuit in the UK, with McVitie's chocolate digestive topping the list.{{cite news |title=Britain's top 20 favourite types of biscuit ranked|url=https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/britains-top-20-favourite-types-18883376 |last=Shaw |first=Neil |date=September 5, 2020 |access-date=August 22, 2021 |work=Wales Online |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200906162547/https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/britains-top-20-favourite-types-18883376 |archive-date=September 6, 2020 }}

In the UK, Kraft partnered with McDonald's to introduce the Oreo McFlurry (which was already on sale in several other countries, including the US) into McDonald's locations across the country during its annual Great Tastes of America promotions; in October 2015, the Oreo McFlurry then became a permanent menu item at McDonald's in the UK. An Oreo-flavored "Krushem" drink was also on sale in KFC stores across Britain.

The ingredients of the British Oreo (as listed on the UK Oreo website) are slightly different from those of the US Oreo. Unlike the US version, the British Oreo originally contained whey powder, which was not suitable for people with lactose intolerance. Additionally, as the whey powder was sourced from cheese made with calf rennet, the British version was also unsuitable for vegetarians.{{Cite web |url=http://www.nabiscoworld.com/Brands/ProductInformation.aspx?BrandKey=oreo&Site=1&Product=4400000820 |title=Product Detail – Oreo Sandwich Cookies |date=January 1, 2006 |website=NabiscoWorld.com |access-date=March 2, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110227005746/http://www.nabiscoworld.com/Brands/ProductInformation.aspx?BrandKey=oreo&Site=1&Product=4400000820 |archive-date=February 27, 2011}} On December 6, 2011, Kraft announced that production of Oreo was to start in the UK with their Cadbury Trebor Bassett factory in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, being selected to manufacture Oreo in Britain for the first time.

Oreo cookies for the European market are made in Spain and at the Cadbury factory in the UK; they are made in Russia (Mondelēz Rus) for consumers in several CIS countries;{{cite news |last1=Nieburg |first1=Oliver |title=Mondelēz to ramp up Oreo distribution in Russia |url=https://www.confectionerynews.com/Article/2015/10/05/Oreo-in-Russia-Mondelez-starts-local-production |access-date=5 October 2021 |work=confectionerynews.com |date=4 October 2015}} and those sold in Australia are manufactured in Indonesia, China or Bahrain, depending on the flavor. The version produced in Canada (sold under the Christie's brand) included coconut oil but as of 2023, the ingredient list included vegetable oil and modified palm oil, similar to the American cookies.{{Cite web |last=International |first=Mondelēz |title=Oreo Original Cookies 723 G |url=https://www.snackworks.ca/en/Products/ProductDetails?ProductId=00066721009555_CA |url-status=dead |access-date=March 11, 2023 |website=snackworks.ca |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812145552/https://www.snackworks.ca/en/Products/ProductDetails?ProductId=00066721009555_CA |archive-date=August 12, 2022}} Manufacture of Oreo biscuits began in Pakistan in early 2014, in collaboration with Mondelez International of the United States and Continental Biscuits Limited (CBL) of Pakistan, at the CBL production plant in Sukkur.

In 2015, Mondelez announced its decision to close some of its American factories and move production to Mexico, prompting the Oreo boycott.{{cite news|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-phillydeals/Oreo-maker-faces-billionaire-squeeze-labor-boycott-calls.html|title=Oreo sees support, but also backlash and boycott, for gay pride rainbow cookie |author=Joseph N.

The ingredients of Oreo cookies have remained largely unchanged from the original, although numerous alternative varieties and flavors have emerged over time. Oreo cookies were made with lard until the mid-1990s, when Nabisco swapped the animal fat with partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Then in the mid-2000s Nabisco eliminated the partially hydrogenated oil from the ingredients, due to growing health concerns.{{Cite web |date=2017-03-03 |title=6 things you didn't know about Oreo cookies |url=https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/6-things-you-didnt-know-about-oreo-cookies |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=Fox News }} The classic Oreo cookie is made using eleven main ingredients:{{cite web|url=https://nutritionbeast.com/2013/10/oreo-cookie-ingredients-nutrition-history/|title=Splitting Open The Oreo Cookie: Ingredients, Nutrition & History|author=Lisa|date=October 17, 2013|publisher=nutritionbeast.com|access-date=May 8, 2018}}

In addition to their traditional design of two chocolate wafers separated by a crème filling, Oreo cookies have been produced in a multitude of different varieties since they were first introduced. This list is only a guide to some of the more notable and popular types; not all are available in every country. The main varieties in the United States are:

• Double Stuf Oreo – Introduced in 1974,{{Cite web |url=http://www.kraftfoodscompany.com/sitecollectiondocuments/pdf/Oreo_Global_Fact_Sheet_100th_Birthday_as_on_Jan_12_2012_FINAL.pdf |title=Oreo 100th Birthday Global Fact Sheet |website=kraftfoodscompany.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131028094642/http://www.kraftfoodscompany.com/sitecollectiondocuments/pdf/Oreo_Global_Fact_Sheet_100th_Birthday_as_on_Jan_12_2012_FINAL.pdf |archive-date=October 28, 2013 |url-status = dead|access-date=July 20, 2012}} this variety has about double the normal amount of crème filling as the original. Available with various flavors of crème filling: original, chocolate, peanut butter, cool mint, and birthday cake. In the UK these are called Double Creme Oreos and are only available in original flavor. The Golden Double Stuf Oreo, featuring golden Oreo wafers with a double portion of original vanilla-flavored crème, was introduced in 2009.
• Football Oreo – Gridiron football-shaped Oreo cookies, introduced in 1976.{{cite web |title=Football Shaped Oreo |url=https://www.taquitos.net/cookies/Football-Shaped-Oreo |website=taquitos.net |access-date=May 16, 2023 |url-status=live |archive-date=August 11, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200811000006/https://www.taquitos.net/cookies/Football-Shaped-Oreo}}

• Golden Oreo – Introduced in 2004, this has "golden" vanilla-flavored wafers on the outside of the cookie, as an alternative to the original chocolate-flavored wafers. Available with various flavors of crème filling including original, chocolate, lemon and birthday cake. The chocolate crème variety, being the reverse of the original cookie, was known as the Uh-Oh Oreo until 2007.{{cite web|url=https://www.biscuitpeople.com/magazine/post/the-short-history-of-oreo-cookies|title=The Short History of Oreo Cookies|website=BiscuitPeople.com|date=May 27, 2022|access-date=July 16, 2023 |url-status=live |archive-date=December 18, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221218214222/https://www.biscuitpeople.com/magazine/post/the-short-history-of-oreo-cookies}}

After being discontinued in the late 1990s, they were re-released in 2000 along with the redesigned 2001 Dodge Caravan minivan as part of a promotional tie-in with Daimler AG.{{Cite news |url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-28159731_ITM |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100530062823/http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-28159731_ITM |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 30, 2010 |title=New Mini Oreos Debut in New Mini Van |date=August 10, 2000 |work=PR Newswire}} Their packaging in the 1990s consisted of a "miniaturized" version of the full-sized cardboard tray and box used in Oreo packaging at the time. Their revised packaging consists of an aluminum foil bag.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}} Oreo Minis are available with various flavors of crème filling including original, chocolate, strawberry, and the new mint flavor which debuted in 2015. As well as the bagged version, they are also sold in Nabisco To-Go Cups, lidded plastic cups which fit into car cup-holders.
• Oreo Cakesters – Introduced in 2007, Oreo Cakesters are Oreo's version of a whoopie pie, soft chocolate snack cakes with vanilla, chocolate or peanut butter creme in the middle. They were discontinued in 2012. They returned in 2022 after a petition was started to have them brought back. The same year, Nabisco announced that Cakesters would be making a return in 2022, including Oreo and Nutter Butter varieties.
• Mega Stuf Oreo – Released in February 2013, the Mega Stuf variety is similar to Double Stuf, but with even more white crème filling. They come in both chocolate and golden wafer varieties.
• Oreo Thins – Introduced in July 2015, this is a thin version of the original Oreo cookie. Thins come in both chocolate and golden wafer varieties, with various crème flavors including chocolate, mint, lemon and tiramisu. Each cookie contains only 40 calories; they are 66% thinner than the original version.
• Chocolate Oreo – An Oreo cookie with chocolate crème filling.
• Mint Oreo – A variety of Oreo with two chocolate wafers separated by a mint-flavored crème filling.
• The Most Stuf – Introduced in January 2019, an initially limited edition Oreo with approximately four times the amount of crème filling of a standard Oreo. After two limited runs, it was quietly brought back as a permanent product in late 2020. While they were first offered in traditional Oreo packages and widely available when they were limited edition, the permanent version is only found in individual four-packs as well as 12 four-pack collections within convenience store settings.
• Gluten Free – Introduced in January 2021, available in both traditional and Double Stuf varieties{{Cite news |url=https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/16/business/gluten-free-oreos/index.html|title=Oreo is finally releasing gluten-free cookies|last=Benveniste |first=Alexis |date=November 16, 2020|access-date=February 4, 2021|url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210203053914/https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/16/business/gluten-free-oreos/index.html |archive-date=February 3, 2021}}

Special edition Double Stuf Oreo cookies are produced during springtime, and around Halloween and Christmas. These have colored frosting reflecting the current holiday: blue or yellow for springtime; orange for Halloween; and red or green for the Christmas holiday. One side of each seasonal cookie is stamped with an appropriate design; the spring cookies feature flowers, butterflies, etc., while the Halloween editions feature a jack o'lantern, ghost, cat, flock of bats, or broom-riding witch. The 2017 Halloween Oreo broke with this tradition, having orange-colored crème filling (albeit with classic vanilla flavor) but carrying no seasonal designs.

In some countries, Oreos come in a variety of flavors that are not familiar to the U.S. market. For example, Green Tea Oreos are only available in China and Japan, while Lemon Ice Oreos were only ever introduced in Japan or Blueberry Ice Cream available in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Additionally, there are alfajor Oreo cookies available in Argentina, composed of three Oreo cookies with vanilla filling between each, and covered in chocolate.

Beginning in the early 2010s, Nabisco began releasing limited edition runs of cookies with more exotic flavors. These typically appear in stores for a short period only, before being discontinued, although some varieties have since resurfaced, for example: Reese's Oreos returned for a second limited run after they were first introduced for a limited period in 2014; and Birthday Cake Oreos, originally introduced in 2012, have since become permanently available.{{cite web |url=https://www.glamour.com/story/special-oreos-flavors-limited-edition |title=A Comprehensive List of Every Special Oreo Flavor, Ever |last=Clinton |first=Leah Melby |date=June 17, 2015 |publisher=Glamour |access-date=February 21, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160422062420/https://www.glamour.com/story/special-oreos-flavors-limited-edition |archive-date=April 22, 2016}} Some limited editions are only made available at certain retailers.{{Cite web |url=https://www.foodbeast.com/news/blueberry-oreos-fruity-crisps/ |title=New Oreo Flavors: Blueberry Pie & Fruity Crisps |last=Ayerouth |first=Elie |date=May 26, 2016 |website=foodbeast.com |access-date=February 21, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190203133138/https://www.foodbeast.com/news/blueberry-oreos-fruity-crisps/ |archive-date=February 3, 2019}}

Limited-edition runs usually feature a crème filling that has been flavored to replicate the taste of a specific fruit or dessert, from familiar flavors such as lemon or mint, to the more specific and unusual flavors of blueberry pie or red velvet cake. They may also incorporate different varieties of cookie wafer, for example Cinnamon-Bun Oreos featured cinnamon-flavored wafers and "frosting-flavored crème". In recent years, some limited editions have paired Oreos with other recognizable confectionery brands, including Reese's, Swedish Fish, and Peeps.

Oreo's six-person team in charge of special flavors is extremely secretive; the company will not disclose even the group's name. The limited-edition flavors largely serve as advertising for Oreo's regular varieties.{{Cite news|last=Bromwich |first=Jonah Engel |date=December 16, 2020 |title=We Asked: Why Does Oreo Keep Releasing New Flavors? |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/16/style/oreo-flavors.html |access-date=December 16, 2020 |issn=0362-4331 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127221139/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/16/style/oreo-flavors.html |archive-date=January 27, 2021}}

When the lights went out during Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, Oreo immediately parodied the event on social media with a "You Can Still Dunk in the Dark" post.

Oreo Daily was a social media campaign celebrating Oreo's 100th birthday. Every day, from June 25 to October 2, Oreo posted ads of their cookies transformed into something new to celebrate national holidays, pop culture milestone, and key moments in American history. Using reinvented Oreo cookies, ads in the campaign honored the Mars rover landing, Elvis week, the invention of Pac-Man, and the release of The Dark Knight in theaters.{{Cite web |last=Mertes |first=Alyssa |date=April 10, 2023 |title=What Was Oreo's Daily Twist Campaign & Did It Work? |url=https://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/blog/oreos-daily-twist-ad-campaign/ |access-date=April 27, 2023 |website=QualityLogoProducts.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230427172359/https://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/blog/oreos-daily-twist-ad-campaign/ |archive-date=April 27, 2023}}
