Borio offers sweeter, softer and a more cocoa-y biscuit compared to its American rival, commonly used in milkshakes in local juice shops

While Oreo was invented in the United States in 1912 by Nabisco, Borio is manufactured and distributed in Egypt by Family Nutrition.[1]

Kraft Foods Inc. acquired Nabisco in 2000 and Family Nutrition in 2003[2][1] so that both products were owned by the same company. In 2012, Kraft Foods became Mondelēz International.
