The Many Faces of Oreo, Some of Them Weird

A red-velvet Oreo? To those who think biting into a Double-Stuf is really living, this must seem a bacchanal. But it’s only the latest in a series of evolutionary stages for Oreolis cookius.
A bakery in Chelsea Market made the first one. Then, six decades later, somebody had an idea.

The name said it all. The F-skimping “Stuf” was an ironic nod to the bounty within (we just made that up). The controversy: Was it really double?

Mint in the middle. That is all.
The cookie of Nabisco lawyers, perhaps, using Big instead of Double.
An obvious idea, yet brilliant in its simplicity. Like Google’s logo, the Oreo’s design is such a fixture of the American marketing landscape that when you turn the inside orange, people go: Cool!

OK, that was just weird.

Chocolate on the inside, chocolate on the outside. Is that picture just a little bit obscene?
I think I would have called it “chocolate-chocolate-chocolate”? – Source: Amazon.com
Chocolate filling, vanilla wafers. It was meant to be temporary but proved so popular they kept it on the shelves. (Call this one “vanilla-chocolate-vanilla”?)
For that is what marketers call vanilla.

To avoid massive confusion, the package explained: “Fun Football Shape!” And it was.

Among the last of the -sters (Napster, Friendster), cute little Cakesters got even smaller in 2008 when they were packaged into 100-calorie packs.

If you’ve been paying attention, you know this was an unholy alliance of the 1974 and 2004 product rollouts.

Oreos are not the only reason that David’s Dad was known as the “Cookie Monster” but they made a great starting point! It has only been about 5 or 6 years that Oreos have been made in Europe and thus were available in the grocery stores here – but that saved my life! 😀
I did a little of my own research and discovered that the company, Mondelēz Global LLC, has a website at http://www.snackworks.com and they say there that there are 101 (yup, you read that right!) Oreo cookies available. On closer inspection, the packaging makes for a number of duplications, but there are a number of things there (sticking to the traditional Oreo design) that are new to me, like banana split, coconut, double chocolate fudge, and more and more (see the images below, also!).
