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... It didn't feel very classic cookies and cream as far as taste, but I appreciated the added sugar factor in the mass of cream. As someone who will eat frosting straight from the container with a spoon, it earned my approval.


Does it Sparkle?
B- The packaging was fun. It definitely popped and had that "wow" factor. When you are trying for epic, then you need *bold* i.e., to be able to see these from way down the aisle. They could have had incorporated some literal sparkle/glitter onto the wrapper but I'm just being picky.

V- Yes! The marketing around these Oreos is truly awesome! The package is like an Alfred Hitchcock film. The black and off-white swirls really pull you in. And then, there is the OREOVERSE! The official Oreo website has Oreo-related minigames you can play to celebrate the cookies-n-creme flavor. I grew up in an era where brands constantly marketed through video games and I love this nostalgia. If you ever got a Backyard Baseball or a coveted Taco Bell's Tasty Temple Challenge floppy in your cereal box, you might want to dunk into Nabisco's Oreoverse!

Pairing 
V- Summer is approaching, so keep the drinks light and fun! Iced coffee had just the right balance of sweetness and bitterness for the cookies-n-creme Oreos.

B- Is putting them into a cookies and cream milkshake too meta? Agree on the coffee part - even black coffee - if one can stomach it.  


Buy Again
B- I may have depending on the day (since my household enjoyed these) but I honestly could not find them again later!

V- I will not. Most of my friends did not care for them, and I usually buy Oreos to share. You might like them though! 

The Ratings!

    As a fellow icing-from-the-tub glutton, I expected to love these but just didn’t! I agree with V here. Too fragile, too much. Glad I tried, won’t be again.

    Right! I am just used to Oreos with a little more structure!

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
