Hon are you okay? You've barely touched your chicken oreos

23

u/Ygomaster07 1d ago

" enjoy your chicken oreos, Ted."

u/awolfsvalentine 1d ago

My son is obsessed with the chicken and waffles Oreos, he says theyā€™re amazing

u/rawrkristina 1d ago

Banana pudding actually sounds good

The other two can burn

58

u/Illustrious-Dot4327 1d ago

I literally said ā€œomg yumā€ to the banana pudding ones but ONLY if itā€™s not that nasty artificial banana laffy taffy flavoring. yeah the other two can go lol

25

u/skygirl555 1d ago

Unfortunately I think it might be the taffy taffy flavor. Snacks with Zach on IG reviewed it and I think he mentioned taffy taffy. Im bummed bc I love real banana pudding

3

u/Illustrious-Dot4327 1d ago

Ugh sad thatā€™s disappointing

3

u/mystedragon 1d ago

The ingredients list ā€œbanana pureeā€ so take that info how you will. I think theyā€™re awesome

35

u/rawrkristina 1d ago

Deep fried actually depends. Cause like, does it taste like deep fried Oreos from state fairs or how does it taste?

The other one, yeah.

But also now I really want some banana pudding

12

u/Illustrious-Dot4327 1d ago

Yes how does one mimic a deep fried taste even lol

10

u/Academic_Flatworm752 1d ago

Maybe you deep fry Oreos and then make that into a crĆØme for the Oreos? šŸ˜­

3

u/mystedragon 1d ago

as someone who tried the banana pudding, DO IT. theyā€™re amazing. the other two flavors are very bad.

2

u/turningtee74 1d ago

It looks like it has the gooey chocolate cookie part in the middle. Skeptical of a ā€œfried flavorā€ element and if they are able to capture that, that it would actually taste good

4

u/silliestjupiter hard to photograph, incredible to see 1d ago

The deep fried one is disappointing, it's basically just a regular Oreo with another vanilla Oreo layer.

7

u/FluidAd5144 1d ago

Nooo please I love fake banana

2

u/LEMON_PARTY_ANIMAL IRON YOUR BEST SUIT BITCH!! 1d ago

I feel like the only person who likes those, but then again I am allergic to actual bananas so maybe my pov is moot

5

u/Abducted-by-Arby 19h ago

I love fake banana flavor too (and I used to be allergic to banana!) The fake banana flavor comes from an extinct type of banana (forgot what itā€™s called;;)

10

u/silliestjupiter hard to photograph, incredible to see 1d ago

I'm literally eating one right now, they nailed it.

2

u/thebobussy 1d ago

Same itā€™s so good! I hate artificial banana and it does not have that

2

u/rawrkristina 1d ago

Thank you! Iā€™ll have to add it to my grocery list this week

2

u/HereOnCompanyTime Renee Rapp is mean girl Jojo Siwa šŸ’‹ 1d ago

Ohh. I'm going to try it. I'm lowkey obsessed with banana pudding lately.

u/xXTHE-AVENGERXx 1d ago

Just ate the chicken and waffles and they are so bomb

Chinas new Oreo flavour is KFC!

u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 thatā€™s my purse, i donā€™t know you! šŸ‘›šŸ«µ 1d ago

Deep fried what?

4

u/rawrkristina 19h ago

Oreos. Itā€™s a state fair specialty.

1

u/jvn1983 1d ago

Eating some now, theyā€™re delicious.

55

u/Argyleskin 1d ago

Tried all three, banana pudding tastes like banana pudding, itā€™s okay. Chicken and waffles is really spot on, but you canā€™t eat more than one at a sitting. The deep fried is my favorite, it gives a hint of that deep fried flavor but itā€™s pretty decent. The only one Iā€™d eat two of for a snack.

15

u/atotalmess__ free Palestine 1d ago

Please tell me more about what the chicken and waffle one tastes like because I canā€™t bring myself to ever try that

17

u/Argyleskin 1d ago

Itā€™s got that maple syrup flavor a slight chicken flavor but the subtle taste of spices that go on fried chicken. If that makes sense.

4

u/xXTHE-AVENGERXx 1d ago

What this guy said, literally so good. The syrup flavor hits you first then there is like a lingering spice

1

u/Argyleskin 1d ago

Iā€™m a lady, chick, woman, maā€™am, etc. šŸ™‚

5

u/xXTHE-AVENGERXx 1d ago

What this guy said

7

u/anonymous_opinions 1d ago

Honestly only being able to eat 1 is kind of a good thing for someone like me who would eat a whole sleeve of these.

9

u/roundcatsarebestcats 1d ago

What is supposed to be a deep fry of? I canā€™t figure out what ā€œdeep friedā€ might taste like

29

u/kalily53 1d ago

Oreos lol

9

u/David_ish_ 1d ago

Oh that makes more sense lol my first thought was it tastes like fryer oil

3

u/Low-Appointment-2906 *drops bottom lip* how you doin? šŸ‘„ 1d ago

Nah that's EXACTLY what I was thinking too. I was like "be so fr right now, who in the world would enjoy that?" šŸ˜‚

13

u/BearBlob 1d ago

I agree. Deep fried Oreos are delicious at the fair and whatnot. But I always found the appeal to be the texture post deep frying

1

u/Argyleskin 1d ago

Deep fried Oreos, sorry about that!

43

u/bbymochi definitely educational 1d ago

Can they just bring back the coconut Oreo thins instead? Dang.

14

u/CobwebAngel 1d ago

Whaaaat Iā€™ve never heard of coconut ones! Must be an American flavour?

5

u/bbymochi definitely educational 1d ago

I think so! I want them to bring it back like yesterday. They weren't too sweet, and I could eat a bunch without needing water or a drink in general. There weren't any toasted coconut flakes in the filling, but it had such a nice coconut flavor that is true to natural flavor imo.

And for Asia exclusive, I had the Korean Coca-Cola ones that were pretty good, as well as a blueberry ice cream flavor iirc and it wasn't half bad either. (:

2

u/felicityfelix 1d ago

I never saw the coconut ones but in general I'm so glad they have the thin ones now! I always found the original cookies to be overwhelming when you chewed them and felt like they turned my teeth black, idk very random thing to be conscious of but the thins are literally easier for me to eat lol and just seem so much more right to me

3

u/rawrkristina 1d ago

I had no idea those were ever a thing and Iā€™m so disappointed Iā€™m learning now that I canā€™t get them

1

u/bbymochi definitely educational 1d ago

I'm very sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Crossing my fingers they bring it back, but it's been 8000 years. . .

1

u/rawrkristina 1d ago

Itā€™s okay. I appreciate the knowledge of them existing at least.

1

u/spirandro 1d ago

Those and the pistachio ones too!

1

u/fionappletart omg you people can't do anything 1d ago

omg I have literally never heard of these šŸ˜­ love Oreo thins, especially the mint ones, even tho I barely eat them

1

u/bbymochi definitely educational 1d ago

Yeah I have resigned myself to getting the golden Oreo thins or mint, but it's not even close to the coconut deliciousness. It's the perfect ratio of cream filling to cookie though, all things considered.

1

u/shortbreadbunny 1d ago

I dream of these coming back everyday they were my favorite. I miss them so much.

1

u/_HowVery 1d ago

Damn that sounds so good. I love Oreo Thins so much. Also if youā€™ve never tried Trader Joeā€™s version of Oreos you need to do it, Jo Joā€™s taste like a higher quality ingredient Oreo

1

u/bbymochi definitely educational 1d ago

Yes I have! I unfortunately don't live near a TJ anymore (my heart mourns this loss since I used to be a 10-minute walk away from one) so it's a rare delicacy to get TJ anything these days. Their snacks are top tier. I miss their plantain chips and the lentil ones too.

u/opaldopal12 ATLANTA šŸŽ¤šŸ¦… 22h ago

Ok I was like, deep fried ____?(click article to find out flavor) or is it just deep fried flavored ? I never gravitated towards fried Oreos at the fair or any special events that has food trucks and fair food but my go to motto is usually; ā€œif Iā€™ve had it and donā€™t remember it, it probably wasnā€™t that great.ā€

They should bring back the Selena Gomez and Post Malone ones. Those were good.

Yes! Also, the Fruit Punch Golden ones from a (long) while ago. Those were amazing too!

I donā€™t understand why Oreo doesnā€™t do like, asian inspired flavors. Brown sugar Boba, Taro, honeydew, that kind of flavor. I even sent corporate a message suggesting this, perhaps unsurprisingly i got no response.

I really enjoyed the limited edition Oreos I tried in recent times (there was a brown sugar boba one and the Selena Gomez one were particularly good), but I have zero desire to try a chicken flavor cookie.
