Founded in 1898, the company we now know as NABISCO was originally named the National Biscuit Company. The name Nabisco originated from a wafer that the company produced back in the early years of the 20th century. By 1971, the name was officially changed to NABISCO.
They really lucked out with the name, in my opinion. Nabisco rolls of the tongue nice and easy. Now I'm in the mood for an Oreo or a Chips Ahoy! Also, I'm selling a vintage 1969 Nabisco Saltine's tin. Check it out under My eBay Listings.
