Yup, 100 years ago the Oreo was born. Where would be without the Oreo? (OK, a few pounds lighter perhaps but that is not the issue here today!) This is a great occasion for an impromptu party at work. Heck, it is a good an excuse as any but what better way to inject some low-cost fun into the workplace.

The first of the iconic crème-filled cookies rolled out of Nabisco’s New York bakery and were sold to a Hoboken, NJ baker on March 6, 1912. Since then, they’ve expanded into over 100 countries,  most recently welcoming India, Poland and Germany.  And according to Oreo’s birthday press release, they’re the best selling cookie brand of the 21st century.

This post comes out early this AM…still plenty of time to get to the store and get a case or so of Oreos (Double Stuff are OK with me too) and milk (skim or 2%).

We all work hard, leaders should acknowledge that and a bit of celebration is a great way to do that.
