Oreo have released two new flavours and we’re not exactly in a rush to try them out

Rory Cashin

We’ll 100% try them. But we’ll be 100% not happy about it.

If you don’t like Oreos, then the problem is with you, not with Oreos, because Oreos are great.

We’re not here to discuss how great Oreos are or aren’t (because they are, without question, very great), but the conversation we’re having today is when you take a good thing, and ruin it with innovation.

Just like most things that get relaunched with a… how do we put this?… “unique” new flavour, the two new types of Oreos are being launched in China, the place where you can also find Seaweed-flavoured Pringles and Baked Potato-flavoured Kit Kats (yes, they’re both a real thing).

So here they are, in all of their glory: Hot Chicken Wing flavour and Wasabi flavour Oreos.

Spicy biscuits? Why? Why is this a thing now?

Oreo have yet to announce whether or not the new flavours will be made available beyond China, but anyone who is looking to try them out will be happy to hear that they’re already available on eBay. So…. hooray?

But did anyone else immediately think of the limited edition Halloween Oreos, the orange ones, and to mix in one of the new Chicken Wing flavour ones and watch chaos ensue?

Just us? Okay, cool.
