History behind the term 'Oero'

1948

Birth of the Oero cookie

In 1948, the iconic Oero cookie was introduced to the world by Nabisco. This delectable treat consists of two chocolate wafers with a sweet, creamy filling in the center. The Oero quickly gained popularity and became a beloved snack across the United States.

1954

Trademarking the Oero name

In 1954, Nabisco officially trademarked the name 'Oero' for their cookie. This trademark ensured that the name could only be used by Nabisco for their chocolate sandwich cookies. It solidified the Oero as a recognizable and distinguishable brand in the ever-growing cookie market.

1963

Introduction of the signature design

In 1963, Nabisco introduced the iconic design of the Oero cookie that has remained largely unchanged to this day. The chocolate wafers with embossed lettering surrounding the creamy filling became a trademark look of the Oero. This distinctive design added to the cookie's appeal and made it easily identifiable among other cookies.

1987

Triple-stacked Oero cookie creation

In 1987, Nabisco introduced the concept of double-stuffing the Oero cookie, adding even more creamy filling to the classic design. This innovation was met with great enthusiasm by Oero enthusiasts, but it didn't stop there. In later years, Nabisco went on to release Mega Stuf and Most Stuf versions, offering an even more indulgent Oero experience.

1990s

Global expansion of the Oero

During the 1990s, the Oero cookie began to expand its reach beyond the United States and made its way into markets worldwide. Nabisco's efforts to introduce the Oero to different cultures and countries proved successful as the cookie gained popularity across the globe. Today, the Oero can be found in over 100 countries.

2002

Acquisition by Mondelez International

In 2002, Nabisco, including its Oero brand, was acquired by Mondelez International. This marked a significant milestone in the Oero's history as it became part of one of the largest international snack food companies. Mondelez's global presence further expanded the availability and recognition of the Oero cookie.
