Dirt Cake Oreos

-
Dirty, Flirty, and Thriving 
Nabisco officially released dirt cake Oreos on March 4th, 2024. Proper dirt cake (if there is such a thing) consists of layers of chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms on top. It's a beloved treat that frequents children's birthday parties. I've scoured the internet, and the great dirt cake's origins are tragically unclear. It is likely midwestern, and it probably manifested sometime in the 1980s. Although the dirt cake's past is uncertain, the future of this beloved treat is bright! Dirt cake is still guaranteed to bring a little weirdness to any party. We can't wait to try these! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!


Creativity
B- Yes, definitely creative. This is another dessert you don't see done too often! On that note, I do wonder why people stopped making dirt cake an acceptable food after grade school. Like, please bring this back as a party or potluck dish - it's delish!

V- Full creativity points! The dirt cake Oreos are meta and elevated. There are two creme layers. One is brownie-flavored, and the other tastes like chocolate pudding. The creme layers are sandwiched between two chocolate Oreo cookies mixed with gummy worm bits. Taking an entire cake and recreating it in miniature Oreo form is genius! 

Execution
V- I liked these! The gummy worm bits in the cookies were mostly performative. However, I appreciate how each chocolatey layer tasted a little different. The pudding layer felt lighter and creamier than the heavier brownie layer. You can't go wrong with a good chocolate explosion. I just wish they made the gummy worm aspect work!

B- These taste to me of brownie batter or chocolate mousse. They have two layers of cream so I see what they did there with the whole layering effect. I liked the idea of the gummi worms sprinkled into the cookie but they didn't add anything to the flavor or the texture from what I could tell - "mostly performative" was an apt way to describe them.


Does it Sparkle?
V- It sparkles! The gummy worm bits glitter in the morning sun! The creme layers are crisp and clear! If you stack the Oreos on top of each other, you have your very own statuesque, avant-garde Oreo dirt cake!

B- So sparkly. 

Pairing
V- Pair these with real gummy worms and whiskey. Trust me. 

B- Maybe something with raspberry! Or with Lunchables hehe (any other 90's kids out there??)

Buy Again
B- They're not bad, but not amazing. I probably wouldn't buy again. It takes something special to get a re-buy from me. PSST: the next installment *is* a re-buy from me :)

V- They are pretty good, but I am on to the next Oreo!

Overall
V- The creativity was all there! The flavors were ALMOST there!

B- What she (V) said!

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
