Oreos went on sale for the first time

March 6, 1912
National Biscuit Company’s (Nabisco) Oreo cookies went on sale for the first time on this date.

The brand’s competitor, Sunshine’s Hydrox, had debuted in 1908. (Hydrox has up until recently, completely disappeared as a brand but secretly exists as ‘cookie crumbs‘ for yogurt flavorings and an ingredient in piecrust.)
