Nilla Wafers are a wafer-style cookies made by Nabisco, a subsidiary of Illinois-based Mondelēz International.

The name is a shortened version of vanilla, the flavor profile common to all Nilla-branded products in previous years.

[13] Nabisco had previously used other marketing techniques to promote the brand, including in-person events such as sponsoring banana pudding pie eating contests at amusement parks.

[14] Nilla wafers are a common ingredient in banana pudding and are consequently popular in the American South.

[15] The wafers themselves are commonly used to facilitate the oral administration of various compounds or medications to rats in testing.
