Craziest Oreo Flavors Ever

Nabisco, the company who makes Oreo cookies, has experimented over the years with many different crème filling flavors. While some were great, others presented a bit more of a challenge to like. Such as:

• Banana Split Oreos. These brightly colored cookies were briefly available in 2008.

• Birthday Cake Oreos. These were made to celebrate the cookie’s 100th anniversary in 2012. The cookies were filled with birthday cake flavored crème, complete with sprinkles.

• Watermelon Oreos. This was a summer 2013 release of watermelon-flavored crème sandwiched between two golden Oreos.

• Pumpkin Spice Oreos. This was 2014’s offering.

• Green Tea Oreos. These are very popular in China and Japan.

• Blueberry Ice Cream Oreos. These were released in 2010, and are available in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and China.

Facts About Oreos

• They’re the world’s best selling cookies. More than 450 billion Oreos have been sold since they appeared in 1912.

• They’re available in more than 100 countries.

• Oreos are considered accidentally vegan, and since 1997 they became officially kosher.

• No one knows why they are called Oreos. The name remains a mystery. Some have speculated that it may be derived from ‘or’ which is the French word for gold, because the packaging of the original Oreos was gold.

• Pigs don’t like Oreos. When Ben & Jerry’s started sending their milky water waste to a local pig farmer, the farmer said the pigs liked every flavor except for Mint with Oreo Cookies.

• Oreo cereal once existed. Oreo’s O cereal was launched in 1998 and discontinued in 2007, much to the chagrin of O cereal fans. It’s still being produced in South Korea to this day.
