Troy’s Ode To The Oreo
The idea was simple enough. Take two small chocolate wafers, put a dollop of white frosting between them, create a legend. Today we join in celebrating one hundred years of the Oreo.
The brainchild of the National Bisuit Company (Nabisco), Oreo Cookies were created back in 1912. That was the year the Titanic sank, Roald Amundsen discovered the South Pole, Fenway Park opened, the International Opium Convention was signed, New Mexico became our 47th state, and the world was introduced to Tarzan.
Fill your heads with the rich delicious history of this pop culture icon, as we wish Happy Birthday to the Oreo - America's cookie.
TROY'S ODE TO THE OREO
A cookie's just a cookie
But an Oreo's a treat
Pair it with a glass of milk
This combo can't be beat
When I was little I'd twist and lick
And throw away the rest
It wasn't 'til I was older
I realized the outside was the best
Different colors and Double Stuf, naked or with fudge
Still the same guilty pleasure but impossible to judge
Chocolate Chip, you have your fans
Oatmeal-Raisin, I just can't see
Not one of you compares to an Oreo
So rich and chocolatey
Oreo, I love you
Please stay true to form
You made me smile as my lunchbox treat
Added bags of pleasure to the dorm
Many have tried to copy you
Sorry not the same
'Cause when it's time to imitate
They're not even in your game
So this one's for you Oreo
On a great 100 years
My only hope is that one day
You'll also go better with beers
