The popular Oreo biscuit, circular chocolate-flavored biscuits with a sweet vanilla-flavored filling in the middle, has our hearts. It is a treat enjoyed by people across all age groups. So popular is the sweet treat that it has made its way into a range of recipes. Take, for, instance, Oreo cheesecake, Oreo milkshake, and Oreo fudge, among other recipes. But, wait, there’s more to the story. Do you know that Oreos could become the world’s next form of currency if an asteroid hits Earth? No, we are not kidding. Well, this information came to the fore in 2020 and now, three years later, has gone viral once again. So here are the details: In 2020, Oreo reportedly built a Global Oreo Vault. It is located down the road from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault which was built in 2008. The Global Oreo vault is designed and built to withstand both natural and manmade disasters. In other words, it could very well be the last ray of hope in case all plant life disappears after a major asteroid hits the Earth.

In a previous Twitter post, Oreo explained the way the vault has been designed to withstand the damage of various kinds. “Each cookie pack is wrapped in protective Mylar which can keep our cookies safe from temperatures of -80°F to 300°F,” the post read.

Not just this, Oreo, in a different post, explained that the vault also contains small cylindrical containers of powdered milk, and you just need to add powdered snow to it before dunking Oreos in it.

For those who are wondering, the Global Oreo vault isn’t as huge as the Svalbard Global Seed Vault but it’s just as protective. The cookie brand stated, “As an added precaution, the Oreo packs are wrapped in mylar, which can withstand temperatures from -80 degrees to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and is impervious to chemical reactions, moisture, and air, keeping the cookies fresh and protected for years to come.”

Thereafter, this news resulted in an advertisement on YouTube in August 2022 after NASA informed us about a “very small” asteroid with a 0.41% chance of entering our planet’s atmosphere.
Asteroid 2018VP1 is very small, approx. 6.5 feet, and poses no threat to Earth! It currently has a 0.41% chance of entering our planet’s atmosphere, but if it did, it would disintegrate due to its extremely small size.— NASA Asteroid Watch (@AsteroidWatch) August 23, 2020
Although it was mentioned that Asteroid 2018VP1 is very small, approx. 6.5 feet, and poses no threat to Earth, Oreo still wanted to make sure that their cookies and the recipe will be safe if a major world disaster occurs.
