How much cream filling does Oreo utilize? The creme filling used in Oreo cookies one year could ice all the wedding cakes served in the United States for two years! That's 4,724,000 three-tier wedding cakes. If every Oreo cookie ever made were stacked on top of each other (more than 345 billion...), the pile would reach to the moon and back more than five times. Then again, if placed side-by-side, they would encircle the earth 381 times at the # The Oreo cookie has been America's most popular cookie since it was introduced in 1912. More than 345 billion Oreo cookies have been consumed to date. More than 7.5 billion Oreo cookies are consumed each year, which comes out to 625 million per month and 20.5 million per day. <strong>Oreo trivia is almost as cool as bacon trivia! I'd eat a wedding cake that was iced with Oreo creme! Good going! Now, did you already know any of that, or were you just eating Oreos and decided to look them up?</strong> How about oreo trivia.

I love this one about Alfred Nobel -- that's one of these serendipity ones I just can't get enough of. Hmmm. I'm thinking... Shelly's you're just too smart for me, but when I think of one, I'm coming back. <strong>I thought the Alfred Nobel one was pretty cool, too. Just shows what a little "spin" will do for your reputation. Especially if you have a lot of moolah!</strong> Wow.

If you've got any other "mature" (translated, that is nice for "OLDER than dirt) readers who are or where from the D.C. area about that time, maybe they can verify this. My memory is frequently shot ya know and what I do remember at least half-way, is generally trite, trivia stuff like this. Go figure, huh? <strong>Absolutely true.
