Are you ready for the triple-stuffed Oreo cookie? What you're looking at are three chocolate Oreo wafers puttied with a layer of vanilla and a layer of chocolate cream. It's like the Big Mac of cookies, the club sandwich of sweets, or the factory-made version of two types of Oreos stacked together, minus a chocolate wafer. Nabisco is calling it the Triple Double and releasing it in supermarkets across the country in time for summer.

Well, it's about time. The Oreo was first introduced in 1912, and it's taken almost a century to add another layer of goodness. That's not to say the creatives at the cookie company have been lazy. Ever since the 20s, the classic chocolate cookie and vanilla icing formula has been a launching pad for potential. Here's a look at some of the highs and lows in the history of the Oreo.
