First let's commemorate the most significant food anniversary that took place around a month ago:
Mallomars were introduced November 13, 1913.
But is this as significant as the year 1912, when Oreos were introduced?

Great highlights, Mae. I was once a huge fan of Mallomars but have since shifted gears to Pinwheels, lol...Thanks for sharing...
P.S. I think Yuban Coffee was introduced in 1913 but I'm not 100% positive:)
Thanks, Louise. I think Yuban coffee is much later than 1913, at least according to Wikipedia.
