Oreo Love #blogboost

It's the next to last day of the Ultimate Blog Challenge, and I'm so close to the finish line...but a cookie is appealing to me.

My Facebook friends know I am fascinated by Oreo flavors.  At one time, I would buy all the special flavors, the ones that were "limited edition".  I don't any more (partially because I'm on Weight Watchers), but Oreos still call out to me.

I don't know if Oreos are "America's favorite cookie" but if not, they must be close.

When I was growing up, there was only one type of Oreo.  And, they weren't even kosher.  Or vegan.

Now, things are different.

I like to play a "yea or nay" game with my friends on Facebook.  Many times when I see new flavors, I will post them, asking "yea or nay".  So how about a short game with you?

Yea or nay?

Yea or nay?

In March of 2012, I blogged about Oreos, which was then celebrating its 100th birthday.  Since then, there has been an absolute parade of short term flavors.  There's been almost every flavor you can imagine.

One Easter, there were Peeps Oreos.

As I have some readers outside the United States, a quick explanation - Peeps are marshmallow candies shaped into various animal shapes.  They started out shaped as chicks and sold for the Easter holiday.  Now, their products have greatly expanded.  People who love them, love them.

Watermelon Oreos got a definite "nay" from me.  I did like Fireworks Oreos.


I so miss the strawberry milkshake Oreos that were made years ago.  Not the strawberry shortcake ones from a couple of years ago.  I never tried those.

Now, here's part of one of my Oreos posts from previous years.  I still think Oreo should create an International Sampler.  What do you think?  Do you have a favorite flavor?

Happy 100th Birthday to My Favorite Cookie (condensed from a 2012 post)

I never thought of International Oreos, but they are sold all over the world.  So I won't explain to my readers what Oreos are, except that when I grew up there was only one kind - one flavor.  Chocolate cookies with vanilla cream. That's it.

Now, of course, you find regular, chocolate, peanut butter, mint, Double Stuf, Golden Oreos, double delight Oreos that are both regular and golden, fudge covered, frozen Oreos with ice cream stuffing.....even mystery flavors not disclosed on the label.

If you live in the United States, go into your food store and look at the various flavors.  Some are made here.  Some are made in Canada.  I wonder why.

As a  gift to their fans, I propose that Oreo create an International Sampler.  Why?  If you look at the list of flavors that have been sold in other countries, some of them sound very interesting:

Blueberry ice cream, lemon ice, orange/mango, dulce de leche, and my favorite strawberry Oreo, sold in Canada but only sold here for a few months back in 2010...so why not?
 
So, Oreo?  How about a sampler pack?
