Oreo cookies

Twist, lick, dunk

Oreo cookies are sandwich cookies consisting of two chocolate wafers with sweet cream filling between them.

The brand name has become nearly generic for this style of cookie: We need Oreos for the kids' lunches.

As a racial slur, Oreo describes a Black person perceived as acting white—dark outside, white inside.
