Answer 1

Milk-Bone

Milk-Bone is a brand of dog biscuit. It was created in 1908 by the F. H. Bennett Biscuit Company, which operated a bakery on the Lower East Side of New York City. Originally named Maltoid, the biscuit was a bone-shaped treat made from minerals, meat products, and milk. Sometime between 1915 and 1926, the biscuit was simply named "Milk-Bone", owing to the high composition of cow's milk. In 1931, the bakery was acquired by the National Biscuit Company (now Nabisco). The biscuit was the only Bennett product carried over after the acquisition.

Over the next few decades, the Milk-Bone was expanded to include a number of different flavors, such as chicken and beef. The marketing focus was also shifted from Milk-Bone being merely a dog treat to a product that promoted cleaner teeth and better breath. Nabisco, under the ownership of Kraft Foods, sold the Milk-Bone rights over to Del Monte Foods of San Francisco, California, in May 2006.

Del Monte Foods renamed their pet products division Big Heart Pet Brands. This division was spun off in 2014 to create Del Monte Pacific Limited.

On February 3, 2015, the J.M. Smucker Company announced the acquisition of Big Heart Pet Brands.

The biscuits are made exclusively in Buffalo, New York.

A box of Milk-Bone treats makes an early product placement appearance in the 1924 silent film The Tomboy. And it was the basis for one of the most memorable lines from the TV sitcom Cheers, spoken by George Wendt's character Norm: "It's a dog-eat-dog world and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear."

Nilla

Nilla

Nilla is a brand name owned by Nabisco that is most closely associated with its line of vanilla-flavored, wafer-style cookies. The name is a shortened version of vanilla, the tropical type of flavor common to all Nilla-branded products. Nilla wafers have been flavored with synthetic vanillin since their introduction.

Nilla wafers are round, thin, light wafers. "Nilla wafer" may sometimes be used colloquially like a genericized trademark for similar, but unrelated products. The brand was registered in the United States in 1968, having been first used in late 1967.

Several varieties of Nilla wafers are manufactured, including a reduced-fat version. Nilla wafers are often used in homemade recipes as an ingredient, particularly for banana cream pie or with banana pudding. A banana-flavored Nilla wafer was also offered at one time. The wafers are also used in icebox cake which is a no-bake cake made by layering wafers with cream and pudding. Nabisco also offers Nilla-branded pie crusts designed to save time for cooks who would otherwise have to crush the wafers by hand. The pie crust brand was registered in 1993. Nabisco also sponsored the "B'Nilla Bowl" game in 2001.

The original recipe and production process for the Nilla wafer was invented by German confectioner Gustave Mayer in New Dorp, Staten Island, about a hundred years ago. Briefly owned by Philip Morris USA from 2000, Nabisco was combined with Dinner Foods and spun off in 2007.

Answer 3

Oreo

Oreo

Oreo (/ˈɔːrioʊ/) is a sandwich cookie consisting of two chocolate wafers with a sweet creme filling in between, and (as of 1974) are marketed as "Chocolate Sandwich Cookies" on the package in which they are held. The version currently sold in the United States is made by the Nabisco division of Mondelēz International. Oreo has become the best-selling cookie in the United States since its introduction in 1912.

The origin of the name Oreo is unknown, but there are many theories, including derivations from the French word 'Or', meaning gold (as early packaging was gold), or the Greek word 'Oreo', meaning beautiful, nice or well done. Others believe that the cookie was named Oreo because it was short and easy to pronounce.

The "Oreo Biscuit" was first developed and produced by the National Biscuit Company (today known as Nabisco) in 1912 at its Chelsea, Manhattan factory in the current-day Chelsea Market complex, located on Ninth Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets. Today, this same block of Ninth Avenue is known as "Oreo Way." The name Oreo was first trademarked on March 14, 1912. It was launched as an imitation of the Hydrox cookie manufactured by Sunshine company, introduced in 1908.

The original design of the cookie featured a wreath around the edge of the cookie and the name "OREO" in the center. In the United States, they were sold for 25 cents a pound (453 g) in novelty cans with clear glass tops. The first Oreo was sold on March 6, 1912, to a grocer in Hoboken, New Jersey.

The Oreo Biscuit was renamed in 1921, to "Oreo Sandwich." A new design for the cookie was introduced in 1924. A lemon-filled variety was available briefly during the 1920s, but was discontinued. In 1948, the Oreo Sandwich was renamed the "Oreo Creme' Sandwich"; it was changed in 1974 to the Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie. The modern-day Oreo design was developed in 1952 by William A. Turnier, to include the Nabisco logo.

Answer 5

Ritz Crackers

Ritz Crackers

Ritz Crackers are a brand of snack cracker introduced by Nabisco in 1934. Outside the United States, the Ritz Cracker brand is made by a subsidiary of Mondelēz International. They are circular in shape, salted lightly on one side, and have a small edge. A single serving (about 5 crackers) contains 79 calories, 1 gram of protein and 4 grams of fat, or 70 calories and 2.5 grams of fat for the whole-wheat variety.

Ritz Crackers varieties are: Original Ritz, Low Sodium Ritz, Reduced Fat Ritz, Whole Wheat Ritz, Roasted Vegetable Ritz, Bacon Ritz, Garlic Butter Ritz, Honey Butter Ritz, Hint of Salt Ritz, and Ritz Fresh Stacks. Decades-old internal memos showed Nabisco executives mulling referring to the snacks simply as "Ritz" in the United States market due to sensitivity about the racial baggage associated with the word "cracker". Nabisco never publicly acknowledged considering the change.

Ritz Crackers are available in the United Kingdom in three varieties. Original and Cheese flavor are sold in 200-g boxes, and Ritz Cheese Sandwich (a cheesy filling sandwiched between two Ritz Crackers) is available in 125-g roll packs and 33-g snack packs.

Ritz Crackers are also available as the dippers for Dairylea Dunkers and Philadelphia Snack.

Ritz Crackers are also available as part of a confectionery product made by Cadbury with the Crackers forming a sandwich either side of Cadbury Dairy Milk.

Answer 6

SnackWells

Snackwell's was a brand of Nabisco products. Introduced in 1992, its products include cookies of a variety of flavors including creme, shortbread, and devil's food cake.

Snackwells were marketed as a fat-free and thus healthier snack, as the U.S. dietary guidelines of the early 1990s advocated a reduction in the consumption of fats. In an ironic and unintended consequence, Snackwells' higher carbohydrate count was later cited as a likely contributor to the obesity epidemic of the 1990s and beyond.

The Snackwell Effect was named for the tendency to consume greater quantities of an item or service deemed morally superior, such as a putatively healthier cookie, or more energy-efficient lighting.

Snackwells were developed by Nabisco's principal food scientist, Sam Porcello.

Snackwell branded products are now made by Back to Nature Foods in Naples Florida. In Canada, SnackWell's potato chips and crackers are available.

Answer 7

Teddy Grahams

Teddy Grahams are bear shaped graham cracker snacks created by Nabisco. Introduced in 1988, the legal definition of the Teddy Graham was determined to be cookie (per amendment 4.25). Teddy Grahams come in two distinct shapes: bears with arms up and legs closed, and bears with legs open and arms down. When first introduced, Teddy Grahams were available in honey, cinnamon, fruit punch, and chocolate flavors. A chocolate chip and recently discontinued oatmeal variety have since been introduced as a cereal.

Nabisco has also put out various other products under the Teddy Grahams brand, including various Disney character shaped grahams, a larger bear shaped chocolate-iced cookie line called Dizzy Grizzlies, and a cereal called Teddy Grahams Breakfast Bears.

Nabisco considers Teddy Grahams to be a healthy snack choice. In a 1992 New York Times article, Eating Well, Marian Burros pointed out that Teddy Grahams use more bleached flour than actual whole wheat graham flour. In response, Nabisco increased the amount of whole grain flour used in the snack. The snacks also contain no trans fat and are also considered a good source of calcium with a significant amount of iron. Additionally, according to PETA, chocolate and cinnamon Teddy Grahams are vegan friendly.

Teddy Grahams sold more than $150 million worth in its first year. It was "the biggest new-product success in the industry in more than 25 years. It became the third-best-selling cookie, after Chips Ahoy! and the market leader, Oreo, both from Nabisco.

Dizzy Grizzlies are a variant of Teddy Grahams, and are so called because they would "become dizzy" due to the snacker looking at each side again and again, as the backside is covered with chocolate and sprinkles. These are also themed in extreme sports such as in-line skating.

Answer 8

Triscuit

Triscuit is a snack cracker, made by Nabisco, which takes the form of square baked whole wheat wafers. It was invented in 1900, a patent was granted in 1902, and the Shredded Wheat Company in Niagara Falls, New York began production the next year.

Nabisco began producing Triscuit in 1903 in Niagara Falls, New York. The manufacturer boasted the wafers had been "Baked by Electricity".

A wafer measured 2-1/4 inches by 4 inches and remained that size for nearly twenty-one years. At that point, the ovens were altered and the cracker size changed to a 2-inch by 2-inch square.

Triscuit is made from wheat which is first cooked in water until it reaches about fifty percent moisture content and is then tempered, which is intended to allow the moisture to diffuse evenly into the grain. The grain is then formed into shredded wheat strands by using slotted rollers. Webs are formed from the strands and then several webs are stacked together. The still moist stack of strands is crimped at regular intervals to produce individual crackers. The moisture content is reduced to five percent by oven baking.

In 1935, producers began spraying the crackers with oil and adding salt. The flavor remained constant until 1984, when additional choices were offered and the crackers were made crispier.

The packaging was changed in 2008, 2011, and again in 2013.

In 2013 a new brown rice Triscuit made of whole grain brown rice and wheat was introduced.

Betty Buckley and Shirley Jones have appeared in Triscuit commercials in the mid-1970s to 1980.

The snack is still well known by some for its 1970s and early to mid-1980s ad campaign starring Sandy Duncan. A more recent commercial aired during Super Bowl XLVI featuring Brian and Stewie from the animated sitcom Family Guy, in which Stewie puts emphasis on the "H" in "Wheat," saying instead, "Hwheat Thins." Other recent marketing for the brand has focused on targeting younger consumers by giving away products at youth-oriented events such as college football games, and heavily utilizing social media.

There are several flavors available, depending on country and market:
