Oreo planned to defeat an asteroid: Its Cookies Can Survive the Apocalypse

In 2008, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault was built to serve as the last hope in case the plant life on Earth comes to an end. The facility was made on the side of a mountain and has more than one million seed samples. But have you ever wondered what would people do if they want to have some cookies in case of an apocalypse? Oreo has already thought through it and built a Global Oreo Vault in 2020 right down the road from the seed vault.

While announcing its Global Oreo Vault the brand called it, “really real,” though it's smaller than the seed vault. The brand said that the facility has “the Oreo recipe and a large stockpile of cookies." So if in case of an apocalypse on our planet, one could surely find cookies at the coordinates 78° 08' 58.1" N, 16° 01' 59.7" E.

It is said that an asteroid hit on Earth soon. It is based on NASA’s announcement in August 2020, they had said that a “very small” asteroid called 2018VP1 had a 0.41 percent chance of entering the Earth’s atmosphere in the first week of November. They had clarified that it wouldn’t be a concern as it would disintegrate due to its extremely small size.

However, Oreo decided to take it seriously and built the vault. So that no matter what happens in the coming years, Oreo cookies could be safe for people to have. The brand said, "It was our civic duty to take the potential threat seriously and to work day and night to protect the future of OREO Cookies for our civilization. But how? By building an asteroid-proof vault in Svalbard, Norway, filling it with a stockpile of OREO Cookies, and documenting the entire journey along the way."
