Pride Oreos

-
Happy Pride!
In May 2022, Nabisco released special pride-themed Oreos! The pride Oreos are classic Oreo cookies (no bells and whistles) wrapped up in a quirky package design. We at We Rate Oreos hope everyone had a safe and fun June pride month as we continue to celebrate Disability Pride Month in July! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!


Creativity
V- They could have done more, but the classic Oreo in the fun package is still cute. I think they should have done unique cookie designs if they were going this route.

B- I also wanted to see a little more dazzle here but they do at least have the word "Proud" on them.

Execution 
B- Tbh I was really hoping for rainbow-colored cream. They have done enough different colors of Oreo creams that I don't think it would've been too hard to alternate colors within the package.

V- Sometimes, with all the wild flavors we have, I forget just how good a classic Oreo can be. Still, I think a new flavor could have been fun. Something summery or celebratory, like a cake or cookie dough, would have been better!


Does it Sparkle?
V- The package sparkles! It’s filled with positive messages of love, tolerance, and acceptance! My favorite parts is all the flags representing different peoples in the community. There’s even space to add your own positive message, which could be great if you want to give a personalized gift to your friend!

B- Yes. I love all of the encouraging and happy little messages written on the packaging. The fonts and handwritings and colors are all different. It feels like the whole container is covered in love!

Pairing
V- Pair with mimosas! Celebrate summer and pride with your favorite seasonal drinks! Regular Oreos go well with most things, but I advise to keep it light and fun. 

B- Rosé. Obvi. 


Buy Again?
B- Probably not. These were more expensive than the regular Oreos for the same product. I think they should have donated part of the proceeds to a LGBTQ-related charity.

V- I would! I hope we can still see these on the shelf past June! I agree with B though. They could have done just a little more. 

Overall
V- They should have gone a little more extra, but I loved the positive messages on the package! The world needs more of that.

B- The cookie itself was lacking but I am still happy to see these bring awareness and promote celebration.

The Ratings!

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
