Star Wars Oreos

-
In A Galaxy Far Far Away...
on the tenth of June, two Oreo types were released. Red and blue. The red Oreos embody the dark side of The Force. They feature villainous characters and dark creatures who wish to use The Force to gain unbridled power. The blue Oreos are humanity's only hope. They depict beloved characters of power, goodness, and light. What side are you on? Prepare your lightsabers, because we are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!

Creativity 

V- The Star Wars Oreos are creatively taking my money! There is a red pack (with Star Wars villains) and a blue pack (with Star Wars heroes). You don't know which pack you get until you open it, so you may have to work a bit to unlock everything. The red and blue creme are just classic Oreo flavors. Full creativity points for the execution though. I had a hard time finding the blue pack. Perhaps the universe is trying to tempt me to choose the dark side! 

B- I definitely purchased two packs in order to see both colors. (Luckily I only had to buy two in this endeavor). But it is not a ruse - there is a red and a blue! Also the cream contains crystals which adds to that electric concept of the lightsabers.


Execution 

V- The execution was spot-on! The concept was so cool; it was not even necessary to give the creme any unique flavors. Just get into your collector mode and enjoy hunting for your favorite pack! The white circles in the middle of the creme confused us greatly and sparked lengthy speculations. Some Redditors said that when you stack the creme, you get the glowing white core of a lightsaber with a red or blue surrounding light. What do you guys think?

B-  New posited theory: the white center is a symbol of the force being at the center/inside.

Does it Sparkle? 

V- As always, the cookie art looks awesome. The Darth Maul one was my favorite. I remember being afraid of him on all the promo posters in the 90s. This cookie art had the same effect! He looks ready to obliterate you (even though you are about to obliterate him). The art has characters expressing emotions and everything. It's incredible and I don't know how Nabisco does it. 

B- I agree with V. There's something about the red and black cookies that looks so aesthetic and cool. Oddly I found the blue ones to taste better though. Feel free to unpack that lol. 

Pairing 

B- Two words: movie marathon. As far as drink - Bantha milk!

V- There is a whole line of Star Wars-themed wine, Skywalker Vineyards, that you might be into! If you're not trying to be so extra, go with a milk stout. It pairs beautifully with the classic Oreo creme. Not into alcohol? Coffee, black tea, or milk always go well with regular Oreos.

Buy Again? 

V- I did buy these a few times haha. I have moved on though!

B- Nope. Well unless you need to see both then I get it. 

Overall 

B- These didn't do anything for me personally. If you are into the comics then maybe you will appreciate them more. 

V- This is so fun! Putting Star Wars on a cookie makes it all just so fun and nostalgic.

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...
