"Milk's Favorite Cookie"

My favorite dunkin' cookie is undoubtedly the Oreo. Oreos have been in production for nearly a century, long enough for the origins of the name to be lost to time. There are, however, theories. "Oreos" means beautiful in Greek. Or perhaps the name was based on "Oros", the Greek word for mountain. The first Oreos were mound-shaped. Maybe "Or" was taken from the French word for gold, since Oreos were originally sold in gold tins with glass tops. Some think the name is some chopped up, sandwiched mishmash of the words "cream" and "chocolate". Still others think "Oreo" was chosen just because the word sounds cool.
