Gluten Free Oreos

-
Gluten Freeeeee!
If you can believe it, it was not until the 1940s that the world discovered gluten intolerance! Living gluten-free is not just a diet trend, but vital for the comfort and health of nearly 10% of the world's population. In the past decades, major food/drink companies have been increasingly inclusive in regards to our gluten-free brothers and sisters. Already vegan, Nabisco announced gluten-free Oreos in November 2020. Did they do it with heart, or just jump on the bandwagon? We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!


Creativity
V- I would have loved to have seen this a little earlier, but better late than never! I would not say this is creative flavor, so much as an absolute necessity. Everyone deserves to enjoy classic Oreos.

B- Agreed! Couldn't have said it better myself, V.

Execution
B- Tbh, they were pretty scant on the cream. I would recommend springing for the gluten free double stuff. Do expect that familiar chalky post protein bar aftertaste .

V- I like them! The gluten-free Oreo cookies taste more like a crumbly chocolate cracker than a conventional cookie, but they retain the sweetness of classic Oreos. Gluten-free flour is uniquely powdery and can be polarizing in texture. Luckily, the flour is clearly mixed with good cocoa. Try these with an open mind! They are good, but they do not have the consistency of a regular Oreo.

Does it Sparkle?
V- They look a little sad? I brought them to my classroom so my gluten-free kiddos could enjoy Oreos along with their gluten-forward classmates. Just the three-minute car ride to work had them all falling apart by the time I opened them at school! Then again, maybe that's just my driving? 

B- The cookie is thin and the layering is thin. It's like a sandwich with only the [GF] bread because it's hard to even see the cream. I'm not surprised to hear how easily they fell apart.  

Pairing
B- Getting charcuterie board vibes... 

V- Pair these with gluten-free goodness! Because they are so darn crumbly, you can use them as an ice cream topping (I hear Breyers has gluten-free products). These Oreos are a little smaller and lighter as well, so they could just work as a light snack to have out at a party.

Buy Again?
V- Yes! I have gluten-free people in my life, and I love sharing Oreos with people. 

B- Not for me. But for those persons with dietary restrictions or Celiac's, these are a great alternative. 

Overall
B- I can eat more of these in a row with less guilt than the regular ones. 

V- They are different, but the quality ingredients are there. I am into it.

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
