Everyone's favorite cookie, Oreo, has the record. 491 billion cookies sold since its introduction in the early twentieth century, is setting the Guinness world record for most Facebook "likes."

Since no current record existed for the unusual feat, Guinness World Records created an arbitrary benchmark of 45,000 "likes" within a twenty-four-hour period. Oreo began their record-setting attempt this morning by asking their 16.7 million-strong Facebook fan base to click on the little thumbs-up box. Oreo has tallied more than 66,000 "likes" as of this posting. According to Famecourt, Oreo is the third-most-engaged brand in social media, after Starbucks and Coca-Cola.
