Star Wars Oreos

-
Image
In A Galaxy Far Far Away... on the tenth of June, two Oreo types were released. Red and blue. The red Oreos embody the dark side of The Force. They feature villainous characters and dark creatures who wish to use The Force to gain unbridled power. The blue Oreos are humanity's only hope. They depict beloved characters of power, goodness, and light. What side are you on? Prepare your lightsabers, because we are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity  V- The Star Wars Oreos are creatively taking my money! There is a red pack (with Star Wars villains) and a blue pack (with Star Wars heroes). You don't know which pack you get until you open it, so you may have to work a bit to unlock everything. The red and blue creme are just classic Oreo flavors. Full creativity points for the execution though. I had a hard time finding the blue pack. Perhaps the universe is trying to tempt me to choose the dark side!  B- I definitely purchased two packs in order to see both colors. (Luckily I onl

Sour Patch Oreos

Sour Patch Oreos  In April 2024, the sandwich cookie gods released Sour Patch Oreos onto grocery store shelves. Sour Patch Kids, much like Taylor Swift, rebrand every few decades to keep up with pop culture trends. In the 70s, they were Martians to reflect the space craze. In the 80s, they were marketed as kids to embody Cabbage Patch fever, but they were not portrayed as mischievous as the current iteration. Does Nabisco's interpretation elevate this wildly popular treat? Let's find out! We are B and V, and WE RATE OREOS!   Creativity B- This cookie aimed high for creativity... Higher than any cookie should... V- Yeah! Few have attempted to turn a sweet and sour candy into a cookie to this extent. I love to bake, but I have no clue how to make a cookie taste like sour candy. I am thrilled that someone did it though, so I don't have to die not knowing! Execution V- I was shocked by how much I liked these. The human element of Sour Patch Kids freaks me out too much to eat th

Churro Oreos

Churreos In March 2024, Churro Oreos graced supermarket shelves! Churros are curvy logs of sugar-coated fried dough. Originating (probably) in Spain, churros are named after the wavy horns of the majestic Navajo-Churro sheep. Male Navajo-Churro sheep can grow up to four churro-esque horns! Be sure to keep that one safe for trivia night! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!!! Creativity V- Of course it's creative! I've never had churro-creme sandwiched between cinnamon Oreos until the churreos hit the shelves. Elevated churros often have dulce de leche, cinnamon, or chocolate filling in the middle, so the concept lends itself beautifully to a sandwich cookie. B- The concept is great. I am surprised not too see more churro-style cookies; the flavor translates really well into cookie form.  Execution V-  The flavors are all there! They're seriously so good. The cookie tastes like it was coated in sugar crystals, while the creme tastes like warm cinnamon. However, the texture and
