Red, White, and Blue

Olympic Spirit
In June 2020, Nabisco brought out the spirit of the Olympics with their red, white, and blue creme Oreos with celebratory cookie designs. We have to wait a little longer than anticipated to watch the events live (awkward), but you can start building the hype now with a little help from milk's favorite cookie. In the spirit of global solidarity, healthy competition, and friendship, we sincerely hope you enjoy them. We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! 


Theme Creativity
B- Just what America needed after the postponement of the games. I appreciated the celebratory throwback (or forward?) and remembering former Olympic excitement amidst all this present-day chaos. There are still good things coming out - like cookies - and good things coming up again - like superhuman athletic demonstrations! 

V- The red, white, and blue creme Oreos are just three solid layers of standard filling between chocolate sandwich cookies. The theme is what makes them special. I appreciate Nabisco celebrating the fun of the Olympics and getting us excited for the upcoming games. Since the events are scheduled to take place in Tokyo, it would have been extra dope if they had showcased a local flavor! 

Theme Execution
V- The Olympic Oreos taste like athletic glory! With three layers of creme, they are a commitment. However, the world trip scratch-off sweepstakes might not be in our best interest for a while still!

B- I'm still pretty jealous that my box didn't come with a sweepstakes scratch-off but oh well.  Nabisco did a good job executing the theme nicely.  The colors made for good country representation and then the ring graphics made for good games representation. 


Does it Sparkle? 
B- Oreo receives the gold! It is a very pretty looking cookie. The colors are very vibrant.  And you can see each individual layer equally. They didn't dye my tongue blue either.  That I know of... 

V- Perfect 10! The red, white, and blue layers each present themselves in bold glory as their own separate entities. How are they not a weird purple color? The cookie art is beautiful. Clear and crisp lines portray the U.S.A. flag over the interlocking rings. The real cookies actually look as awesome as their picture on the packaging!

Pairing
V- With three layers of creme, expect a pure sugar explosion. Look for teas and alcohols with warm spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to both temper and complement the Oreo’s intense singular flavor. Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey could be a fun pairing! 

B- These are a fairly hearty cookie with triple the usual cream filling. I got boring and paired them with water so I could fully appreciate them.  I also tried the red, white, and berry Smirnoff (21+ only) in order to pair as many patriotic things as I could in one sitting. Maybe a cold lemonade would work? I'm feeling very stereotypical. But I dig the cinnamon suggestion above to make for an overall "cinnamon sugar" experience.  

Buy Again?
B- I would totally buy them again if I didn't eat them so fast the first time and wasn't wedding dieting. 

V- Yes! There is a trip around the world for 2025 calling my name! Think of all the Oreos I could experience!


Final Thoughts
V- These are just super extra versions of the classic. So good!

B- YES. Just YES.

Cookies-N-Cream

Cookies-N-Cream Nabisco went meta on us! Cookies-n-cream is a popular treat involving sandwich cookies mixed up in ice cream. However, you are usually not even getting real Oreos, just an off-brand! But don't fret. Since February 2023, Nabisco has given us cookies-n-creme Oreos! Are they as good as the  local creamery  knockoffs? Let's find out! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity B- Mega Oreo sounds like a fake thing, but it became a real thing in these. Oreo-inception! V- It's an Oreo-flavored Oreo! I can't call it especially creative, but I do think it's genius.  Execution V- There are ups and downs. The cookies are unusually frail, and the triple-creme was a lot for me. But, I appreciate how the filling is softer and creamier even though it seems to be the same vegan concoction we see in almost every other Oreo. I think it was the consistency they were going for. It was just a bit much for me!  B- I was not expecting to like these, but, I did, in a way.

Space Dunk Oreos

Killer Oreos From Outer Space January 29th, 2024, in a galaxy far far away, Nabisco's Space Dunk Oreos hit shelves! With probe Odysseus landing on the moon (the first one in decades to do so) in February and the rare eclipse happening in April, we have been partying to the moon and back! Maybe we'll finally get to meet the aliens! While this is not the first marshmallow-flavored space Oreo, it is the first to add pop rocks to the creme. Do the Space Dunk Oreos live up to the 2024 intergalactic hype? Let's find out together. We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity V- Pop rocks and marshmallow as a flavor combo is certainly unique! If you liked it (like I did), then the risk paid off and you might find it creative. If you didn't like it, it may come across as a bizarre pairing that is more focused on being unique or edgy than flavorful. I am giving it creativity points because the theme and flavors were wacky, but it worked! I also love how, for this edition, they el

Cotton Candy Oreos

Cotton Candy Nabisco once again surprised us with a summer flavor nobody was expecting! Cotton Candy Oreos hit the shelves in June 2023. Cotton candy was invented in 1897 by a dentist! He probably wanted to keep the dental industry busy for years to come? Like Oreos, cotton candy has stayed popular for over a centennial. It's about time we saw this fusion! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity V-  All the creativity points! I am especially impressed with the incorporation of both blue and pink cotton candy in the creme. Thank goodness they went with the vanilla cookies (chocolate would have been a disaster)! It adds a new element to a timeless treat. This is my first cotton candy cookie, so kudos to Nabisco for the innovation. B- I agree with full points here. I have never seen cotton candy attempted as a cookie or even anything that didn't have it in a sugar crystal or candy-like form.   Execution B- It tastes like a carnival in your mouth. It's a surprising flavor
