The new Lemon Oreos are really good. So good, in fact, that I had to order two bags this week, because the family discovered how good they are. (Try them crunched up in vanilla ice cream!) How long do these limited flavors usually last? Do they come back around like Girl Scout cookies?
I looked on their site for info, but it’s pretty annoying to navigate. I did learn of the existence of “blueberry pie” Oreos, and I must say that does not sound yummy at all.
My local surplus stores tend to get piles of those special Oreos cheap. Second most recently they had the lemon ones for $1.00 a bag. They weren’t bad, but I preferred the mint ones they had before that. Most recently they had Halloween Oreos, which have cream that is dyed orange but has the “standard” flavor. $1.25 per box of 40 two-packs. (I like the ones filled with Pop Rocks that they’ve had a couple of times.)
Has anyone else had Oreo Bañadas? They’re not common in the U.S. I get them in a dollar store a half-mile from me. There are lots of ethnically-Hispanic people in my neighborhood. Because of this, the dollar store does some stuff not common in the U.S.
Weird, never heard of them and I work right next to a dollar store in a Hispanic neighborhood in Florida. They look just like fudge covered oreos, even have black and white versions.
Those are the places to browse for oddball product experiments that never caught on in mainstream markets. I found a box of guava-flavored Pop Tarts at Big Lots one time. I guess they were an acquired taste that no one bothered to acquire. I liked 'em. I’ll never see them again.
The two local places I shop at have things like that, things that apparently failed on the market and foreign products that ended up in the US somehow. They get a few pallets full, and when they are gone they are gone. Once it was a bunch of cookies called Tim Tam that are apparently iconic in Australia. Things in packages printed in Arabic or Hebrew. Once they had lots of the octagonal boxes of chocolate-filled koalas with the Japanese text.
This was maybe the only of these recent Oreo variants I’ve tried but I thought it was pretty successful in capturing a passable Coca Cola flavor. The aftertaste was the familiar baked chocolate and some appealing citrus, like cola can have. B+
I actually agree that it did taste recognizably like Coke. But the combination just didn’t work for me, or for that matter, my son’s scout troop. They still joke a year and a half later about the Coke Oreos that someone brought on a campout.
It’s a special flavor if a bunch of 10-15 year old boys turn their noses up at them after a day of doing outdoor stuff.
LOL! That’s up there with the time I brought fancy food to a homeless shelter and the residents turned their noses up at it. They just wanted ground beef and cheese and please make it soft because their teeth hurt. Lesson learned.
TimTams are beloved in Oz and considered the best way to drink coffee (at least with a cookie filter). I was surprised Canadian Costco had big packages of them, as I have never heard a Canadian talk about them.
Unfortunately, flavoured Oreos don’t usually make it here or stay for long when they do. However, if you know where to shop our selection of flavoured KitKats rivals Japan.
