Fruit Punch Oreo: You'll Never Be a Kid Again.



Fruit Punch Oreo


















History: The Fruit Punch Oreo tasted like summers that will never come again. Friends and places you cannot return to. Childhood dreams, remembered in one blast of red-gold sugary goodness. It was a unique kind of cookie. It first appeared in 2014. I brought it to Half-Price Books for my coworkers to try; it wasn't a popular one. Oh Well.

Cookie: Classic Golden Oreo. As always, bland and relatively flavorless. Especially against the overwhelming force of Fruit Punch.

Creme: Visually, the Fruit Punch Oreo was the prettiest Oreo. Ever. The odd pink color of the creme was both pleasing to the eye, and precisely how it tasted.  It tasted pink, punchy; like a pixie stick. It has the same level of sugary sweetness as a pixie stick, of course, which means it was a one-and-done kinda Oreo cookie. Unlike other flavors, however, the taste is strong enough to make that one cookie meaningful and memorable.

Milk Taste Test: I never actually dipped these in milk.

Gorgability: I ate very few.

Summary: 3/5 stars. A classic novelty flavor, one I avidly hope makes a reappearance some summer down the line.
