The origin of the name Oreo is unknown, but there are many theories, including derivations from the French word 'Or', meaning gold (as early packaging was gold), or the Greek word 'Oreo', meaning beautiful, nice or well done. Others believe that the cookie was named Oreo because it was short and easy to pronounce.

How many chocolate bars to reach the moon?

Oreo cookies are 1.75 inches in diameter.The distance between the Earth and her Moon is 225,291 miles (at apogee [the closest distance]).So: If Oreo cookies could be laid side-by-side into space, it would take 36,206 of them to equal 1 (one) mile.Multiplying 225,291 (distance in miles at apogee) by six times there and back (actually, that's 12 trips) would equal 2,703,492 miles.Multiplying that by 36,206 cookies equals -a LOTof cookies!
