          CELEBRATING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE OREO COOKIE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT J. DOLD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 6, 2012

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to celebrate the 
100th anniversary of the Oreo. In 1912--the same year the South Pole 
was discovered, and the Titanic sank--the Oreo was first introduced. 
Growing up, there were many days where I would enjoy dunking an Oreo in 
my milk and that tradition continues today with children and adults all 
over the globe. There is no doubt Oreos bring joy to many people 
throughout the world.
  Kraft Foods, headquartered in my district, is the proud custodian of 
Oreo, and Oreo is one of the company's 12 ``billion-dollar'' brands. 
Enjoyed in more than 100 countries, today the Oreo brand is the world's 
top selling cookie. Here is to another 100 years of Oreo being the 
world's number one cookie.
