Remember when you only had one kind of Oreo?

Rejoice Oreo lovers there's 3 new cookies that you can sink your teeth into! The Oreo cookie has been around since 1912.  Oreo was invented by the Nabisco company, otherwise known as the national biscuit company. It was an immediate hit, selling out nationwide as Americans favorite cookie.

It stayed as the original Oreo for more than a half a century. Wasn’t until the double stuffed variety hit the stores that we had a different Oreo cookie. Since then there have been dozens of different tastes, and flavors of the Oreo..

Almost 100 different flavors!

As of July 2019 there were 85 different flavors and variations of the beloved cookie. There are too many different varieties to mention, most come and go as fads, and usually a dozen or so different types  or styles can be found on supermarket shelves.

Companies are constantly chasing the youth market and cater to their ever changing, non ceasing craving for the latest coolest craze.

The folks at Oreo know they have to keep up or they will be left to faded memories of another brand that got old and stale.

You can bet that is not going to happen any time soon to our all time favorite cookie. So, whether you open your Oreo and eat the frosting first or you dip them in your coffee or milk, they’ll always be there for us.

Boston’s BEST Bakeries!

When you see Boston's BEST bakeries, you tap the breaks. It's a hard STOP. My Dad had a thing for bakeries. If you could tailgate a bakery the morning they were to release the latest baked goods, he'd do it.  Dad and the owners of Crown Bakery in Worcester were on a first name basis.

Boston Cream Pie

Our city is so awesome, we have our own pie. Have you ever heard of Tampa Cream Pie? Of course not. Yes, like it's name, the amazing gift from the Universe known as Boston Cream Pie was actually created here. According to Wikipedia:

It is claimed to be created in 1856 by Armenian-French chef M. Sanzian at the Parker House Hotel in Boston. A direct descendant of earlier cakes known as American pudding-cake pie and Washington pie, the dessert was referred to as chocolate cream pie, Parker House chocolate cream pie, and finally Boston cream pie on Parker House's menus. The cake consisted of two layers of French butter sponge cake filled with thick custard and brushed with a rum syrup; its side was coated with the same custard overlaid with toasted sliced almonds, and the top coated with chocolate fondant.[4] While other custard cakes may have existed at that time, baking chocolate as a coating was a new process, making it unique and a popular choice on the menu.

So, after reading about all of this deliciousness, I hope you saved room for a Trip Advisor tour of Boston's BEST bakeries!
