Well Nabisco is at it again with another batch of temporary Oreo flavors. It's getting a little ridiculous at this point. Like they're just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Alas, a junk food blogger's work is never easy, so here goes.
Watermelon Golden Oreos
In a word, awful. These are watermelon candy flavored, not watermelon flavored. They taste like someone melted down watermelon Jolly Ranchers and stuffed them into a cookie. Way too sweet and I couldn't bring myself to eat even three of them. I'm told these are the second best selling seasonal variant behind only Halloween Oreos (and those hardly count as they aren't a flavor variant) but I can't understand why. These are a Target exclusive if you want to seek them out.
Limeade Golden Oreos
I'm not a big fan of lime at all. Still, I was convinced to try them and I'm sorry I did. Truth be told, they weren't quite as vile as I expected them to be. The limeade creme almost works, but not with the Golden Oreo cookie. I ate one cookie and couldn't bring myself to eat another. But again, I'm biased against lime.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Oreos
We teased this one a while back in our review of Oreo Creme Chips Ahoy and have been anticipating it for some time. Sadly, these are a tiny bit disappointing. They actually taste really good, but they're just peanut butter cup Oreos and there's nothing particularly "Reese's" about them. Still, they are very good and I'm sure the Reese's name is helping them sell. Nabisco seems to be doing a huge push on these, which leads me to speculate that these may actually become a permanent flavor sometime in the future.
I really wish Nabisco would sell mix packs of these flavor variants. I'm starting to feel cheated by buying three packages and hating two. If you're going to flood the market with all these flavors, at least make it a little easier for consumers to try them. Not everyone is as adventurous as we are!
