Oreo is pushing the boundaries of the snack aisle farther than ever before. Just yesterday, Mondelez International unveiled three surprisingly ambitious limited-edition cookie creations: Chicken & Waffles, Deep Fried, and Banana Pudding. Rather than picking just one flavor to champion, the cookie giant is launching all three simultaneously under its new "Twist, Lick, Vote" campaign—leaving it up to fans to crown a single winner to return nationwide in 2027.
Inside the Three Wild New Flavors
From sweet southern comfort food to state fair indulgence and a jaw-dropping savory crossover, each flavor takes a completely different approach to cookie innovation:
- Chicken & Waffles Oreo: Easily the most shocking contender, this first-of-its-kind sweet-and-savory cookie features a waffle-embossed golden wafer. Inside, a dual-layered creme blends sweet maple syrup flavor with savory notes of fried chicken, accented by black pepper, celery spice, and paprika.
- Deep Fried Oreo: Inspired by carnival midways and state fairs, this rich offering packs golden-fried dough-flavored cookies around a dual filling of dark chocolate and fried dough-flavored creme to recreate the taste of freshly battered treats.
- Banana Pudding Oreo: Bringing classic dessert nostalgia to the lineup, this cookie layers sweet banana creme and smooth vanilla pudding creme between two golden vanilla wafer cookies.
Presales, Retail Rollout, and Voting Rules
Snack enthusiasts won't have to wait long to taste test the battle lineup for themselves. Pre-orders officially open on Monday, August 17, 2026, on Oreo.com and via the TikTok Shop storefront. All three flavors will subsequently land on grocery and mass retail shelves nationwide on Monday, August 24, 2026.
Voting runs from August 17 through October 12, 2026, with the winning flavor set for an official announcement on October 13, 2026.
"Consumer-led product selection turns limited-edition launches into market research engines," market analysts noted regarding the interactive campaign. "This three-cookie competition lets snackers directly dictate the future of our flavor lineup."
Whether you are craving deep-fried chocolate, southern banana pudding, or a maple-and-pepper chicken waffle mashup, the polls open this August.
