Kotas Reviews Cookies and Cream Oreos

Sometimes a product is released that is ridiculous in its conception and it comes out terrible. Sometimes you get something ridiculous that is pretty good.Then there are the products that say "What the hell were you thinking?" because they make absolutely no sense at all. Ladies and gentlemen, today we take a look at Cookies and Cream Oreos.

Yo dawg, I heard you like Oreos...

Cookies and Cream is one of my favorite flavor combinations. The very essence of Cookies and Cream is vanilla ice cream with crushed up Oreo cookies (or other chocolate sandwich cookies, I suppose) mixed in. Best enjoyed fresh made with soft serve, perhaps in the form of a winter storm, it has become a staple ice cream flavor up there with Rocky Road and Mint Chip. So I have to say "What the HELL Nabisco?" In the past, you haven't really involved ice cream flavors, so much as "flavors that are also used in ice cream" but really? This one takes the sundae. Did you even stop to think about the redundancy of this product? 

The package is standard Limited Edition Oreo packaging, with a picture of a nice serving of cookies and cream ice cream...that has an OREO IN IT. Is this some sort of joke? Are you THIS contemptuous of your audience that you thought we wouldn't notice? Eh, fuck it, let's open this up and take a look.

OREOCEPTION!

Well, you know what this looks like? A FUCKING OREO. With rejected creme filling, no less! Seriously folks, as I've noted before, grey is NOT an appetizing color. Sure, it kind of looks like "cookies and cream filling", but you know what that is? OREO CREME AND CHOCOLATE COOKIES! This is making a hamburger by grinding up ground beef. YOU STILL HAVE GROUND BEEF, JUST SLIGHTLY MORE GROUND. So, how does it taste? Can you guess? 

The taste is AN OREO. I know you all are as shocked as I am, but the flavor is the exact same flavor as a regular Oreo. Now, that flavor is a good flavor. One of my favorites even. But this is not a LIMITED EDITION flavor, when you've just put the same old flavor into a slightly worse looking package. Did you think we were idiots Nabsico? Apparently we are, because this bastard costs the same as a standard package of Oreos, but with 4 ounces LESS product. And I bought it, so help me I BOUGHT IT.

On the FACE Rating System, this gets 3 Frownie Faces. It is the height of laziness, arrogance, or both to just barf out a worse looking Oreo that tastes exactly like an Oreo and have the FUCKING GALL to charge a premium for the privilege. The actual taste is fine, it's just EXACTLY WHAT WE ALREADY HAD, in a smaller, shittier package that costs more. Ya done fucked it up Nabisco! I liked the Thins version because it was a fairly interesting texture change...but THIS...Ya done me wrong, Nabisco. That hurts. If you get a chance to taste these without buying them, they taste just fine. Oreo deliciousness. Just don't get suckered into actually paying for them, because there is nothing of value to be had.
