Are you a licker, a muncher, or a dunker? Hey, now: We're talking about how you eat your creme sandwich cookies! Sheesh.

On March 6, 1912, the Oreo cookie was first made by the Nabisco company in New York, so today marks the 100th birthday of the famous chocolate sandwich creme cookie.

Since "O-R-E-O goes great with imagination" (come on, now, you remember!) we thought we'd take a tasty little trip down memory lane and look at some Oreo commercials from days gone by.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
