Get ready for a candy-infused flavor explosion! Two titans of the snack world, Oreo and Sour Patch Kids, are joining forces to create a limited-edition cookie that promises a rollercoaster ride for your taste buds.
Sour Then Sweet Surprise Hits Shelves May 6th
This exciting collaboration isn’t just a rumor. TODAY.com has the exclusive scoop on the upcoming Oreo Sour Patch Kids cookie.
Arriving nationwide on May 6th, lucky fans can snag them even earlier through a special pre-sale starting April 24th on a dedicated Oreo webpage.
A Playful Fusion of Flavors
Inspired by the mischievous spirit of Sour Patch Kids, this new cookie takes the classic Oreo and infuses it with a playful twist. Don’t be fooled by its familiar golden appearance!
The cookie itself boasts a subtle Sour Patch Kids flavor, complete with vibrant, multi-colored flecks throughout.
But the party doesn’t stop there.
The creme center gets a sour makeover too, bursting with confetti-like sour sugar bits for an unforgettable taste sensation.
A Match Made in Snack Heaven
“The Oreo brand is always looking for ways to surprise and delight our fans,” says Caroline Suppiger, Oreo’s Senior Associate Brand Manager. “And what better way to do that than by letting the iconic Sour Patch Kids take over our beloved cookie?”
Grace Howard, Innovation Brand Manager for Sour Patch Kids, echoes the sentiment.
“This partnership with our sister brand, Oreo, was an opportunity we couldn’t resist,” she says. “We’re both eager to see how fans react to this limited-edition sour-then-sweet treat!”
The Sweetness Doesn’t Stop There: Exclusive Merch Line
The collaboration extends beyond the cookie aisle. Oreo and Sour Patch Kids are launching an exclusive merchandise line available starting May 2nd.
Fans can head to the dedicated partnership webpage to snag limited-edition items like a bucket hat, hair clips, socks, and even a crossbody bag designed to perfectly fit a pack of cookies for on-the-go snacking.
A Reviewer’s Take: A Delicious Surprise
As someone who devours both Oreos and Sour Patch Kids with equal enthusiasm, I (Joseph Lamour, the author) was initially skeptical about this flavor fusion. However, one bite was all it took to change my mind. This cookie is a true winner!
The Sour Patch Kids flavor is present without being overpowering, and the cookie-eating experience is a delightful twist on the classic gummy candy.
The first bite hits you with a sweet and fruity taste, followed by a subtle sour kick that unfolds gradually. Unlike the intense pucker power of the original candy, this cookie delivers a more playful sourness.
Interestingly, this cookie challenged my usual Oreo consumption habits. As a self-proclaimed whole-Oreo eater, I found myself savoring the creme first this time around.
The colorful inclusions and buttery flavor of the cookie itself reminded me of a sweet and fruity cereal, adding another layer of enjoyment.
The Verdict: A Must-Try for Sweet and Sour Fans
The Oreo Sour Patch Kids cookie is a unique and delightful collaboration. It offers a playful take on classic flavors, sure to tantalize the taste buds of candy and cookie aficionados alike.
With a limited-edition release and exclusive merch, this is a must-try for anyone seeking a sweet and sour adventure!
