Blueberry Pie Oreos Really Blew-Berry My Previously High Expectations by Being Lame.


Blueberry Pie Oreo

History: Blueberry Pie Oreos were released June 6th, limited to Target stores. Honestly? You'll probably be able to find them back-stocked for a few months to come. I recently helped at a food bank, and while sorting food found boxes and boxes of unpurchased Coconut Creme Oreos. This was after finding them at my local Target store for several months post-release. What I'm saying is, you shouldn't rush out to try these, both because there will be an ample supply but also because demand will be low - they're not very good.

Cookie: Point-blank: who gives a shit about Golden cookies. I know I don't. You know I don't. I know you might think you do, but you actually don't. They're definitely the lamest part of this cookie, bland, tasteless.

Creme: Have you ever eaten a Blueberry pop-tart? I hope you have, because those are pretty great. The Blueberry creme in the Blueberry Pie Oreo is like a lighter, less intense version of that filling, but with the nasty Oreo finish common in fruit varieties. That said, this creme isn't "bad," so much as it is totally unremarkable.

Milk Taste-Test: My lactose intolerance has become so intense that I can't actually have milk with Oreos anymore. I'll make an exception when an exceptional cookie comes along, but that is not this cookie.

Gorgeability: Not happening.

Verdict: 2 / 5 Oreos.  This was an unexceptional Oreo. I appreciate Nabisco branching into further fruit flavors; perhaps someday we will finally see Cherry, which I once had an intensely emotional dream about. But that's a story for another day.
