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.

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...

Black and White Oreos

Black and White ! In December 2023, Nabisco first revealed the black and white Oreos. No grey area here! Maybe I am overly free-associating but for me, black and white conveys classy old movies, Transatlantic accents, noir detectives, and incredible style! Did Nabisco evoke such grandeur? Let's find out together! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity B-  OK, s o the idea was *almost* there for this. As a first impression, it sounds cool and the cookies themselves look classy as hell. But unfortunately, the execution wasn't all there to earn any points from me here. They could've taken the flavor and name a step (or two or three) further. V- The black and white Oreos are simple. We have vanilla cookie sandwiches with a swirl of white and chocolate creme on the inside. For full creativity points, Nabisco would need to incorporate the black-and-white concept into a grand theme! Maybe each package could have had fun facts about zebras (Nabisco should totally hire me as ...

Super Mario Oreos

Super Mario Let's a-go! In July 2023, Nabisco released Super Mario Oreos! The flavor is classic, while the cookies have designs with all your favorite Mario characters. Super Mario is one of the most iconic pop culture icons of all time. One thing I've never understood though-how does Bowser kidnap Princess Peach one day, and then go go-karting with her as a friend the next? The world may never know! As established Oreo bloggers, we have high standards. We hope that each Oreo captures the strange, colorful magic of the Mario universe. Let's find out together. We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!   Creativity V-  The Mario movie was a summer hit! Mario started hopping on Wrigglers and Yoshis in  Super Mario World  in 1990 ,  and it's no surprise that Nabisco is hopping on this bandwagon now! And I love it. It's fun when people come together to enjoy a pop culture moment. Unfortunately, I can't give full creativity points for such blatant capitalism. Maybe I would be...
