Late night open thread

Tonight friends a short history of the Oreo cookie. Steven Wright once said he ate a box of Oreos before going to his oral hygienist because he thought she was cute.

Bite of History: This dunkable delight debuted in the spring of 1912 by the National Biscuit Company (now known as Nabisco and owned by Kraft). But it wasn't a stand-alone offer. The Oreo was packaged as part of the Trio: the Mother Goose, the Veronese, and the Oreo Biscuit. It soon became clear that the Oreo was the star of the bunch, and the other two treats became a matter of historical record.
