"Coming off our incredible 100th  birthday celebration, we are thrilled to be
showcasing the iconic OREO brand on this national stage," said  Lisa Mann, Vice
President, Cookies, Mondelez International. "We knew we wanted to kick off the
next 100 years for OREO in a big way, and what better way than by bringing the
long-standing disagreement of cookie versus creme to one of America's biggest
television events."

The 30-second TV spot depicts a passionate disagreement of "Cookie vs. Creme" by
two men seated in a quiet library. The conversation escalates into a heated
scuffle, culminating in pandemonium. In addition to "Whisper Fight," a second
spot is slated to air starting  March 11  on major U.S. cable networks. Both
spots were created by Portland-based ad agency, Wieden + Kennedy.   

Throughout the campaign, OREO will continue to engage consumers in the Cookie
vs. Creme disagreement through a number of digital activations, beginning with
"#cookiethis/#cremethis" during the Big Game. OREO is asking its fans to check
out the new OREO Instagram profile and hashtag a photo they love with
#cookiethis or #cremethis. Over the course of a three-day period, OREO will
select a number of photo submissions and work with a team of artists to create
sculptures using the fan's favorite part of an OREO, the cookie or the creme.
The sculpture creations will be photographed and uploaded to Instagram for fans
to see and share.

The campaign will be supported by owned media, digital and mobile ads, search,
public relations and in-store point of sale. Starting  Monday, February 4th,
consumers can also get involved in the "Cookie vs. Creme" conversation at select
retailers across the country through a number of promotions, including texting
cookie or creme to 63065 for a chance to win  $100,000.
