The Bloreog the Oreo Blog 2018 Yeareo in Revieweog

Bloreog the Oreo Blog went on a hiatus after the dismal and disappointing Mocha Oreos in summer 2017. Sorry. I just couldn't to it anymore. My dream flavor was a nightmare. Flavors from 2017 I never reviewed: Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Cookie Butter, Mystery (Fruity Pebbles), Hot Cocoa. You didn't miss much.

But I don't want to go for the whole of 2018 without providing at least one review. So I'll do you one better:

THE BLOREOG THE OREO BLOG 2018 YEAREO IN REVIEWEOG.

FLAVOR: Chocolate Hazlenut

STYLE: Golden Cookies and Nutella icing.

VERDICT: It's not like I was even able to eat this, so, none. I'm sure you might have liked them, but you can't get them anymore because they came out last February.

FLAVOR: Hot & Spicy Cinnamon

STYLE: Chocolate cookies with cinnamon icing.

VERDICT: Goddamn delicious! I at several of these. Spicey aftertaste. Particularly great if you take a box of them into a bar and dip them in a porter.

FLAVOR: Peeps Oreos 2

STYLE: Chocolate (!) Cookies with Marshmellow Frosting

VERDICT: Honestly, fantastic! I love the chocolate + purple icing combo as a visual, and I'm a fan of the gritty marsh mellow delight that are Peeps. These were some of my favorites this year.

FLAVOR: Cherry Cola

STYLE: Chocolate cookies at “cherry cola” icing.

VERDICT: I once had a dream about finding Cherry & Black Cherry oreos at the Fishers library and being forced to choose between them. This is a dream flavor of mine. It's still a dream flavor of mine – give me some of that sharp Starburst flavor cherry bullshit between two bland chocolate wafers. Slap the Oreo logo on them. Watch me sob with joy. This ain't that. The Cherry Cola Oreo is trying to approximate the flavor of Cherry Coke, which is kind of a bullshit flavor anyway. These were honestly terrible.

FLAVOR: Kettle Corn

SYLE: Golden cookies with “kettle corn” icing.

VERDICT: For some reason they wanted to make the experience as authentic to Kettle Korn as possible, which meant including what felt like real corn kernal shells in the icing to get stuck in your teeth? The flavor is mostly that of 'butter,' which made it worse. No.

FLAVOR: Pina Colada Thins

STYLE: Golden wafers with Pina Colada icing.

VERDICT: These were delicious, but I'm a fan of fake pineapple.

FLAVOR: Chocolate Peanut Bueter Pie

STYLE: Chocolate with Peanut Butter filling

VERDICT: Once again, I can't eat these, so – no. But you can still buy them at Wal Mart.

FLAVOR: Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake

STYLE: Golden + Strawberry cookies with Strawberry filling.

VERDICT: Delicious, but essentially the same flavor as the previous Strawberry flavors they've released, including the one I reviewed a few years ago here.

FLAVOR: Rocky Road Trip

STYLE: Chocolate w/ Rocky Road filling.

VERDICT: Technically the nuts in this are 'soy nut infusions,' which may well be edible for me with my allergy. But I never felt safe trying them, and by the time these came out I was on a diet and basically gave up on Oreos anyway.

FLAVOR: Peppermint Bark

STYLE: Chocolate cookies with Peppermint icing.

VERDICT: Similar to Peppermint two years ago, but with two-color icing. Whatever.

Anyway, that's my 2018 Oreo Year in Review.
