OREO Builds Doomsday Vault for Its Famous Cookie

According to scientists, on November 2, with a probability of 0.41%, asteroid 2018 VP1 may enter the Earth's atmosphere, where it will disintegrate without damage to our planet. The well-known sandwich cookie maker Oreo (USA), however, reacted in its own way to the approaching celestial body by building a concrete vault Global Oreo Vault in Norway for its own products, similar to the Doomsday vault in Arctic Svalbard, where the world's botanical heritage is hidden in case of a nuclear war.

It is only natural that the sizes of these warehouses are incommensurable, and Oreo's decision is perceived by everyone as an epic PR stunt. Presumably, the Global Oreo Vault project starts with a harmless tweet from Olivia Gordon on October 3, in which she asked her personally worrisome question: if an asteroid does reach Earth on election day, who will save her favorite cookie?

According to the company, for the sake of safety, the cookies will be packed in hermetically sealed mylar bags (film based on synthetic polyester fiber), capable of withstanding temperatures from -27 to +148.8 ° C, reliably protected from chemical attack, moisture and air, which will provide the liver with 100% safety for many years.
