What’s in the name? The name has shifted from “Oreo Crème Sandwich” to “Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie”, but most of us know them as simply Oreos. Unfortunately, the origins of the name are still unclear. Some at Nabisco claim that it’s a play on the French word for gold (“or”), since the original Oreo package was gold.
