Everyone loves an Oreo, right? And with 85 different flavours worldwide, there’s usually something for even the most ardent of cookie lovers.
But sometimes, when someone comes up with an idea of a new flavour, there should be somebody there to say “mate, stop, for the love of God don’t do it.” And seemingly, with one of the world’s rarest flavours, there was nobody around to make sure it was produced for the mass market.
When my wife went to China recently, she told me she was bringing me back some “snacky snacks” from the land known for unusual foods.
I am a foodie, this news delighted me – although in hindsight it probably should have terrified me. Step forward one of the world’s rarest flavours of Oreo, which is only available in China…the cheese flavoured Oreo.
When I say cheese, I don’t mean cream cheese and it basically tastes like cheesecake – this is actual cheese, in an Oreo cookie.
Firstly, the actual cookie looks like the usual experience of two Oreo cookies with a filling in the middle, however these ones have rather fun images printed on the outside.
Some feature a lightbulb, while some feature what looks like a naked person and I have no idea why. The smell is also nothing unusual, and you can’t actually tell what’s in it because even the colour looks relatively normal.
And good luck trying to read the ingredients, because they’re all in Chinese – which makes sense, considering they’re from China.
Anyway, moving on to the taste. At first bite you just get the usual Oreo sweetness, but then something weird kicks in…really weird.
And it took me about two seconds to realise what the taste was, as the wonderful weirdos at Oreo have seemingly stuffed these cookies with that fake-tasting, easily-meltable, almost iconic yellow cheese known as “American cheese”.
Yes, when Oreo says “cheese flavour” it really does mean cheese, only the worst kind on the planet and something that belongs only in fast food joints.
It was horrific, offensive, and should be nowhere near this iconic sweet treat – or anywhere near any country seemingly outside of China.
Chalk this up as a rare loss to Oreo, as I for one will never be taking to social media to beg them to bring this flavour over to the UK.
Grim.
