I used to eagerly cheque Target goal caps, hoping to notice a new-and-exotic Oreo flavor, which I’d therefore buy, regardless of what it was. But I’m starting to sense season fatigue. For one, every bit much every bit I loathe to acknowledge it, nix beats a classic Oreo. There’s a argue it was the outset season invented—it’s the best.

But that doesn’t hateful I’m higher upward a well-thought-out Oreo spin-off. Problem is, I intend Nabisco has stopped thinking, exactly cranking out a novel Oreo multifariousness 1 time a month, no affair how repulsive it sounds. Every fourth dimension I become to the supermarket, there’s about other one—most recently, at that topographic point was Pumpkin Spice, Lemon, Berry, together with Cookie Dough, alongside others.

I’ll admit, I’ve tried the Lemon Oreos, together with they’re delicious. But Pumpkin Spice? That’s exactly jumping on the ever-popular pumpkin bandwagon—and I query whether the Oreo execs really asked, “Will a pumpkin-flavored Oreo really taste good?” I sort of uncertainty that it does.  

In my experience, many of the funkier flavors exactly taste, well, funky. The Birthday Cake Oreos were a terrible letdown. The Cookie Dough ones sort of gustation similar chemicals. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 twain years back, I resorted to pulverizing my Gingerbread Oreos to brand a cake ball of sorts, eager to exactly instruct them out of my cabinet. I didn’t fifty-fifty dare attempt the Watermelon or Fruit Punch Oreos.

My inquiry tells me at that topographic point bring been at to the lowest degree 24 strange Oreo attempts, non including the diverse Golden Oreo together with Chocolate Oreo varieties. Here, inward alphabetical order: Banana Split, Berry, Berry Burst Ice Cream, Birthday Cake, Blizzard, Candy Cane, Candy Corn, Caramel Apple, Cookie Dough, Cool Mint, Creamsicle, Fruit Punch, Fudge Sundae, Gingerbread, Lemon, Limeade, Marshmallow Crispy, Mint, Neopolitan, Peanut Butter Cup, Pumpkin Spice, Sherbet (or "Shure, Bert!"), Strawberries n' Creme, together with Watermelon.

This overload of options, many quite disgusting sounding, has made me unwilling to purchase whatever novel Oreo flavor, because the novelty has worn off. So, please, Nabisco, relieve your burn for genuinely original—and yummy—flavors. S'mores, perhaps?
