Saturday, March 6, is National Oreo Cookie Day! If you’re anything like us, you’ll celebrate with a pack of Oreos, tell yourself that you’re going to have a few, then finish a whole sleeve. (Don’t worry, we don’t judge!) In honor of milk’s favorite cookie, we’ve compiled a list of interesting facts you might not know about the sandwich cookie:

• The origin story of the brand name remains a mystery. Though fans have many theories of their own.
• It takes nearly one hour (59 minutes to be exact) to make an Oreo.
• Many unknowingly believe that Hydrox is a copycat cookie, when in fact, they were introduced 4 years before Oreo.
• The first Oreo flavor was lemon creme, which debuted in the 1920s but was later discontinued.
• The name Double Stuf Oreo is deceiving. A high school math class in upstate New York determined that these cookies only have 1.86 times the amount of filling compared to the originals.
• Women are more likely to twist off the wafers of their Oreos before indulging.
• Oreos became kosher in 1997 when they removed lard from their recipe.
• The wafer color of Oreos is either dark brown or black, depending on who you ask. According to Oreo, they do not have a color assigned.
