What did Henry's friends think of this flavor? What limited edition OREO flavor was deemed "largely unsuccessful" by Wikipedia? Tune in to find out, and witness the first true disagreement on the SNACKFAM! tier list between mother and son.

Transcript

SPEAKER_05 0:10

Hello and welcome back to Snack Fam, the podcast exploring the weird, wild world of limited edition snacks. I am your host, Angie Seibold, and sitting with me is my co-host and my son, Henry Seibold.

SPEAKER_02 0:24

Hello, it's me, Henry, from all those times before.

SPEAKER_05 0:28

I see you're trying to make everything a catchphrase.

SPEAKER_02 0:33

Kind of.

SPEAKER_05 0:35

Kind of. I feel like the best catchphrases happen organically. We can't just like force a catchphrase.

SPEAKER_02 0:40

Example, swoo.

SPEAKER_05 0:42

That that's a long story. You know that there's nothing funnier in life than someone you care about saying something just like a tiny bit wrong.

SPEAKER_02 0:52

Oh, it wasn't a tiny bit wrong. Then maybe that'll be a story for like Patreon.

SPEAKER_05 0:57

I I like that we keep envisioning a future where we are going to be successful enough to merit a Patreon. You know what? Dream big, man. Dream big. We're lying in the gutter, but we're looking up at the stars.

SPEAKER_02 1:10

I know YouTubers that only have like a hundred subscribers that have a Patreon.

SPEAKER_05 1:15

Look, we have ones of subscribers, I'm pretty sure. Um those ones of subscribers out there, spread the word. If you enjoy Snack Fam, please tell your friends, tell your fam, um, give us reviews, like us, comment upon us, tell us to get lost. I don't know. But all all publicity is good publicity, so get the word out there, and we really appreciate you for doing so. We are back with summer nearing. We just had Memorial Day weekend. We actually meant to do this over the weekend, but we were busy and lazy at the same time, as most good holiday weekends are. But we are here with a brand I'm pretty sure we are going to end up touching on a lot over the course of this podcast. Here we are at our first limited edition.

SPEAKER_02 2:09

Bah dum dum dum dum dum.

SPEAKER_05 2:13

Oreos! Oreo, you knew you knew Oreos had to be coming on a podcast about limited edition snacks. Who is more better known in the snack world as being somebody who's always bringing weird new limited edition flavors than good old Oreo?

SPEAKER_02 2:33

Hey, you remember that like Oreo Coke collab where they released those awesome Oreos with like the Coke flavoring?

SPEAKER_05 2:40

Oreo has really had, I think, some flavors that should not work over the past few years.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

Yeah, like the whatever they're called.

SPEAKER_05 2:50

They were Sour Patch kids. And sometimes they're with chocolate Oreo cookies, sometimes they're with the golden Oreos, which are vanilla wafers.

SPEAKER_02 2:59

Which is what we have right now. There's also an even yellower shade of than golden called lemon. There is lemon cookies on some of the Oreos. There's like three flavors that have that, but still.

SPEAKER_05 3:12

No, we'll get into that. There are certainly a lot of limited edition Oreo flavors, but I think what we're trying to say here is no matter how weird the flavor sounds, I don't think Henry and I have yet to have an Oreo limited edition flavor that we didn't like.

SPEAKER_02 3:29

I think of like they're all really good. I think of the ones that we've had that are limited, probably the post-malone ones. They were really good still, but they're the worst of the ones that we've had.

SPEAKER_05 3:45

But even those were good. The ones that we haven't tried, and I don't know if they're still available, are the Selena Gomez ones.

SPEAKER_02 3:51

No, yeah, you'd have to get some on eBay and then be like a year old.

SPEAKER_05 3:54

Yeah, I don't I don't want to eat stale. We're trying not to eat discontinued snacks.

SPEAKER_02 4:00

Like we're not adding bully.

SPEAKER_05 4:02

Like we we don't we're that's not really our game here, and there are plenty of podcasters and YouTubers who do that very thing, and then they try to determine if that should be something that's made again, which I'm not really sure how you figured that out from eating stuff that's like, you know, five, ten, fifteen years old, but hey, bring back peepsy. But but yes, we continue to be united in our quest to bring back peepsy.

SPEAKER_02 4:29

Howards.

SPEAKER_05 4:30

Did you know, Henry, that there were limited edition peeps Oreos? Partially?

SPEAKER_02 4:37

I remember hearing that there was a marshmallow flavor.

SPEAKER_05 4:39

There was a marshmallow flavor, and apparently that was peeps flavor, and they did this twice. In 2017, they were traditional chocolate wafer Oreos, and then in 2018 they came back with the the golden Oreos.

SPEAKER_02 4:53

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 4:53

Yeah, there were two years of peeps Oreos.

SPEAKER_02 4:56

Were there Oreo peeps?

SPEAKER_05 4:58

Uh it does not seem that way, but given what we've learned about peeps and how prolific they are in continuing to stay relevant. Just make a peepsy peep. Just bring it full circle.

SPEAKER_02 5:12

Make a Pepsi flavored peep. You know what?

SPEAKER_05 5:16

We're easy. You don't want to bring Peepsy back. We we understand it probably costs a lot to make those yellow Pepsi cans. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 5:25

Example, trimes. What? The three cent coin.

SPEAKER_05 5:30

What what does that have to do with Peepsy?

SPEAKER_02 5:32

Uh it's a thing that was too ex it was more it was worth less than it it was worth more to make it than it was to buy something with it. Same thing goes for the half-sun.

SPEAKER_05 5:47

Uh so I think that's ultimately what we were coming up against with the penny, and that's why the penny was recently retired.

SPEAKER_02 5:52

The term was also partially killed because of its size. It was smaller than a dime.

SPEAKER_05 5:56

So interesting. Seems like that would be easily lost.

SPEAKER_02 6:01

Yeah. It was from newspapers. Anyways.

SPEAKER_05 6:04

But but yeah, we we are already running a little astray. I do want to set the table a little bit, but like I said, I imagine we're going to be trying a lot of peeps. I mean, a lot of Oreos. I mean, that's we might be trying a lot of peeps too, but I think we'll be trying a lot of Oreos over the the course of this podcast. So I don't want to go too deep into Oreo lore, as it were. Umreos came out in the year 1912. They have been owned by Nabisco the whole time. This is way back when Nabisco was better known as the National Biscuit Company. Although they actually came on the heels of Hydrox!

SPEAKER_02 6:48

That's right. Which was killed off because it sounded like a cleaning product.

SPEAKER_05 6:53

Basically, yeah, like the whole origin of the name Hydrox was it was a portmanteau of the words hydrogen and oxygen. And this was coming up in an era where it marketing was really obsessed with the notion of purity. Like you still kind of see that, like ivory soap, you know, like uh it was like 99.9% pure or something like that.

SPEAKER_02 7:15

Nile red making super beer, 100% alcohol.

SPEAKER_05 7:18

Well, that's not a brand, but back in the early 1900s, purity was kind of synonymous with health. So Hydrox thought if they called in the notion of like hydrogen and oxygen that would make it sound like kind of this pure healthy cookie. Now, I do want to say Hydrox came out in 1908, and what did I just say? Oreo came out in 1912. It's a knockoff! A lot of people think Hydrox is the knockoff of Oreo, but it's actually the other way around. Oreo just had better marketing. It's like the whole Pop Tart thing. And Oreo had a better name, too. Do we know what Oreo means? There's no clear consensus on that. It could come from the French word or which means gold. It might come from a Greek word for mountain, but there are also people who believe it's probably just a made-up word that was really easy to pronounce.

SPEAKER_02 8:11

What if it's an orange regular ethereal?

SPEAKER_04 8:18

Oh?

SPEAKER_02 8:19

O's.

SPEAKER_04 8:21

Oh lordy, what a delicious cookie.

SPEAKER_02 8:25

Oh, round ethereal O's.

SPEAKER_05 8:30

Alright, let's think of this. Original.

SPEAKER_02 8:33

Rigid.

SPEAKER_05 8:34

I was gonna say rigid, but like Original, rigid, rigid. But not rigid, like hard. Rigid, like ruffles have ridges.

SPEAKER_02 8:40

Like, like or no, like uh it doesn't go hard, but it does go rigid.

SPEAKER_05 8:47

See that that rigid isn't a word I want in my food. Ridged, I'm okay with. I'm okay with that.

SPEAKER_02 8:55

So original rigid. Ums. Because they're circles. They're O's.

SPEAKER_04 9:06

Oh obloids.

SPEAKER_05 9:09

Is that a word? Anyway.

SPEAKER_02 9:11

Ovulars.

SPEAKER_05 9:12

Ovulars, oh no. So they're eggs? No, that'd be ovoids, right?

SPEAKER_02 9:17

Yeah, it's it's ovular.

SPEAKER_05 9:18

Ovular. What's an ovular?

SPEAKER_02 9:20

Oval.

SPEAKER_05 9:21

But they're not oval, they're circles.

SPEAKER_02 9:23

A circle is an oval. What all circles are ovals, but not all ovals are circles.

SPEAKER_05 9:30

Welcome to Math and Science Time in our show where we eat cookies. Yeah! Kiddo's smart. You may have figured that out. He's smart. Two tetrated to two is equal to Did I'm sure all of you know too that famously Oreos are both kosher and vegan. So you know, people try to go vegan, there's a really there's an off-ramp for you. You can still have Oreos.

SPEAKER_02 9:54

But here's the thing gluten-free Oreos exist. This is true.

SPEAKER_05 9:58

That's different from vegan, though.

SPEAKER_02 10:00

But isn't being vegan imply no gluten? Not necessarily.

SPEAKER_05 10:05

No, because gluten gluten is not necessarily an animal product, right?

SPEAKER_02 10:10

Oh yeah, not all gluten.

SPEAKER_05 10:11

I don't think any gluten.

SPEAKER_02 10:13

Milk.

SPEAKER_05 10:14

Milk is not gluten. In gluten, like wheat. Which you're right. That would be more like keto, where you're just not supposed to eat like carbs.

SPEAKER_02 10:23

Yeah, yeah, I guess it's keto, not but still. So gluten-free Oreos are for the keto people out there.

SPEAKER_05 10:29

There you go. There's always a shortcut to where you can eat Oreos no matter how healthy you try to be. And as we said at the top, there are many, many, many, many. There have been hundreds of variants of Oreos over the years, uh, including notably the big stuff. The big stuff Oreo was a single Oreo. It was sold individually, and a single big stuff Oreo had 250 calories. It was just this monster Oreo.

SPEAKER_02 10:59

So it's a cakester times 10.

SPEAKER_05 11:01

Basically, um, golden Oreos, which we know as the vanilla flavored wafers, those have been around since 2004. So relatively recent, but they've hung in there, and I'm glad they have, because I like them.

SPEAKER_02 11:14

How are lemon Oreos doing? When when did those become a thing?

SPEAKER_05 11:17

Uh well, way, way, way, way back in the day. I believe it was 1924. I did not write this down. Oh, like around the first flavor variant of Oreo was actually a lemon cream.

SPEAKER_02 11:30

Oh, I mean lemon cookie.

SPEAKER_05 11:31

Well, it was short-lived. I don't think there's a lemon cookie.

SPEAKER_02 11:34

I remember there being like a limited lemon cookie and cream variant thingy.

SPEAKER_05 11:39

I hear the internet's a reliable source of information.

SPEAKER_02 11:41

Indeed.

SPEAKER_05 11:42

This this may have been just another, yeah. So 2012 to 2013, there was the lemon twist, which was a golden Oreo with a lemon-flavored cream filling.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

Is that what you're talking about? No. Oh my god, the birthday cake.

SPEAKER_05 11:56

Yeah, well, birthday cake is kind of in an echelon of Oreos, in that that is a flavor that started as limited edition and now is available permanently.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

Also, it's 250 calories per serving, and there's like 10 servings in each box.

SPEAKER_05 12:12

I mean, vegans. No. You just because you can eat them doesn't mean they're good.

SPEAKER_02 12:19

Doesn't mean you should. Doesn't mean they're good for you. Ooh, pumpkin spice.

SPEAKER_05 12:24

Okay. I was going to try to avoid going down the rabbit hole like we did with the MMs, where we just looked at every flavor ever of Oreo. But yeah. As Henry pointed out, there was birthday cake, which was created to celebrate Oreo's 100th birthday in 2012. And those actually became permanent. Um, but yeah, there's flavors like lemon twist. The the Wikipedia on this cracks me up. It says watermelon, a golden Oreo with watermelon flavored cream filling. Largely unsuccessful. That sounds good. Largely unsuccessful.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

62.

SPEAKER_05 12:59

But yeah, there were flavors like strawberries and cream, fruit punch, cookie dough, fruit punch, root beer float, pumpkin spice, key lime pie, Swedish fish, uh, the aforementioned peeps, fruity crisp, Easter egg, caramel coconut. There were special Oreo designs to correspond with things. There were uh for Lady Gaga when her Chromatica album came out in 2020, they came out with Lady Gaga Oreos, which were salmon-colored cookie wafers with malachite green filling.

SPEAKER_02 13:33

Okay, I'm sorry, I have to interrupt you on this. Hot chicken wing flavored Oreos sound absolutely disgusting.

SPEAKER_05 13:40

Well, if we ever find ourselves in China, no. We can try hot chicken wing Oreos and wasabi Oreos, which seems Wasabi Oreos seems better.

SPEAKER_02 13:50

Not by much, but it does. Mystery churro flavor.

SPEAKER_05 13:53

Yeah, apparently there was a mystery Oreo and it turned out to be churro flavored.

SPEAKER_02 13:56

The most stuff.

SPEAKER_05 13:58

Four times. In 2019, the most stuff, regular Oreos with four times the amount of cream filling.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Android.

SPEAKER_05 14:07

But we're not here to try any of those. I don't even think we've said what the flavor is, Henry. First off, the flavor, the limited edition flavor is Oreo Firecracker Pop and Bomb Pop-esque. Now, I did a tiny bit of research on this because I assumed we were calling it Firecracker Pop because these weren't licensed by Bomb Pop. So I thought they were trying to get around that, like, oh, how cute it's Firecracker Pop. No, turns out Firecracker Pop is a whole other brand. They were launched by the Popsicle brand in 1989, and they are very similar to a bomb pop.

SPEAKER_02 14:44

I can smell the popsicle through the bag.

SPEAKER_05 14:48

As usual, we can kind of smell.

SPEAKER_02 14:51

It's more around the tab.

SPEAKER_05 14:53

But yeah, once you pull that tab, that makes sense. It's around like the opening of the bag. Um, but yeah, I had no idea firecracker pops were a thing. So clearly bomb pops have continued to assert their dominance in this field. Now, the Oreo Firecracker Pop, this was released on May 4th, and it looks like this is available in pretty much every major retailer. We got these, like we get most of our stuff. We got it at RAS. Um, but they're available at Target, CVS, Walmart, Aldi, Vaughn's, pretty much anywhere that you get your local back alley dealer. Um, maybe don't go to a back alley dealer. You can just go to Aldi, it'll be fine.

SPEAKER_02 15:32

Um your local back Aldi dealer.

SPEAKER_05 15:35

Hey. So the Firecracker Pop is pretty unusual for an Oreo in that it has not just one flavor, but three. And these are indicated by different colors of icing.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

Also, it's triple stuff.

SPEAKER_05 15:51

It does appear to be triple stuff because it does have three layers of icing.

SPEAKER_02 15:57

So, shall we do ASMR?

SPEAKER_05 15:59

Well, first I want to establish what the flavors are. So there's a red, a white, and a blue stripe, much like a firecracker pop or a bomb pop. Red or a triple rocket if you're down with Nestle.

SPEAKER_02 16:10

Red is cherry. White is lemon for some reason. It's not like vanilla. And blue is blue raspberry, as per my favorite.

SPEAKER_05 16:20

Yeah, well, I think it's lemon because bomb pops are usually lemon or lime.

unknown 16:25

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 16:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:26

I prefer lime ones.

SPEAKER_05 16:28

Yeah, so it looks like bomb pops are lime and firecracker pops are lemon. So maybe that's just like the slight little line of separation that allows the lime of separation. These very, very similar brands to coexist. And now before we dig into these, I do want to share a couple of reviews as we normally do. Um this time I went into the subreddit called Junk Food Finds. They were not thrilled about Firecracker Pop or Really, because Fisher and Mayer said they both tasted really good. Those are Henry's buddies at school, so um, so a survey of Henry's peers.

SPEAKER_02 17:04

So uh Fisher, the one who had bought the pack, said that they tasted similar to a popsicle. Not exactly. Uh Mayer said, I don't know what this flavor is. It's fire, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 17:21

And Ren seemed to be kind of split, but mostly not on board with these. Um, one Redditor said that the sweetness works well with the white cookie, but a lot of people said it kind of tastes like toothpaste. And they also said a little bit goes a long way, it sounds like it seems after you eat like two of these, you're over it just because they're so sweet.

SPEAKER_02 17:45

Yeah, Mayor actually cooked that it did taste kind of like toothpaste.

SPEAKER_05 17:49

So we're gonna we're gonna find that out for ourselves.

SPEAKER_02 17:51

So some ASMR.

unknown 17:54

All right.

SPEAKER_02 17:57

Oh package.

SPEAKER_03 17:58

Anyways, do you know how to open the package?

SPEAKER_02 18:02

I do.

SPEAKER_03 18:03

Oh, he's pulling the tab to open the package. Why are all these packages so hard to open? You got that. There he goes. Oh, you do it. He did it. That smell. Oh my god, the smell. Sorry, I broke with the ASMR, but oh my god, that smell.

SPEAKER_05 18:25

Whoa, what?

SPEAKER_02 18:27

It looks like crest.

SPEAKER_05 18:28

Oh my gosh, can we get my camera, please?

SPEAKER_02 18:31

That that's that's crest. No, that's toothpaste.

SPEAKER_05 18:34

I am at first glance, it may just be the angle that I'm sitting at, but I didn't see a lot of blue when we opened toothpaste.

SPEAKER_02 18:42

Oh, there's a lot of blue. Come come look at my side.

SPEAKER_05 18:45

Okay, now I see it.

SPEAKER_02 18:48

But yeah, the blues blues being a little shine there. I I want this one.

SPEAKER_05 18:55

There there is kind of something about Oreos where I don't feel like this happens with other candies. I don't dig through like a bag of MMs and go, okay, I need to find the perfect MM and it needs to be red, and it needs to have this much chocolate in it. But there is something about maybe it's just the way that you open a pack of Oreos where or like Chips Ahoy, Nabisco really has this package down where you pull the tab and it just kind of opens the whole top of the thing of cookies like it's convertible.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

Okay, smell the lemon.

SPEAKER_05 19:25

I I don't have to be up on it to smell it, like it's pervasive.

SPEAKER_02 19:29

I I'm aware, but you're smelling all three. Smell just the lemon.

SPEAKER_05 19:32

How do I smell just the lemon? It's part of the same cookie.

SPEAKER_02 19:36

Trust me, it's possible.

SPEAKER_05 19:37

Okay, well, all it has to say is you get to pick your cookie, and that makes it kind of special. This cookie right here in the center is calling to me.

SPEAKER_02 19:46

We gotta go two cookies.

SPEAKER_05 19:48

I I am gonna argue just like looking at this cross section of cookie. It looks like crest. It looks like the the red and the blue are almost like an afterthought. Like we just kind of smeared it on top of the white that you're used to getting.

SPEAKER_02 20:05

You know what I kind of want to do? I kind of want to try to pull one of these apart.

SPEAKER_05 20:09

Hmm. That that's gonna be the instinct. I feel like the first time the first one we have, let's just eat it holistically.

SPEAKER_02 20:16

Dinkly and singly.

SPEAKER_05 20:18

There we go.

SPEAKER_04 20:22

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 20:23

Whoa. Um yeah, that tastes one-to-one like Mayor described it. Oh, there's one.

SPEAKER_04 20:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 20:38

Mayor, if you're watching this, please put us on your Instagram.

SPEAKER_05 20:41

I feel like I didn't get any blue raspberry out of it. Well, okay. It's a hard experience to describe, but we're gonna try. Imagine eating all of those flavors at once. And I feel like normally you eat something that maybe has like a complex flavor profile, and the flavors start to reveal themselves.

SPEAKER_02 21:05

Hold on, let me go in again.

SPEAKER_05 21:07

And I feel like this first bite of cookie, I went on a journey, but it was kind of like all three cars were in a roundabout, and they all were driving in different directions, and they just kind of crashed into each other.

SPEAKER_02 21:19

I don't know about you, but I went but I felt like I was flying through the middle of nowhere. That was really good and weird. Just like a mayor described it.

SPEAKER_05 21:27

It has made my mouth water in a way that no other treat on this show has so far. I'm like. And I do kind of suffer from a bit of dry mouth these days.

SPEAKER_02 21:37

Okay, let me try to pull one apart. Check this out, watch. Oh. So half of the all the cream is on one cookie, and then the other cookie is just Look at that with all the blue.

SPEAKER_05 21:48

Look at that small amount of blue. That's what I'm talking about. I feel like we are getting ripped off on the blue.

SPEAKER_02 21:57

Ooh, the blue's good. You can try that.

SPEAKER_04 22:00

Preferred cookies.

SPEAKER_02 22:01

Okay, let me honestly, it tastes like a pie.

SPEAKER_05 22:06

It doesn't taste like what it is advertised now. What it is advertised now.

SPEAKER_02 22:13

But it does taste good.

SPEAKER_05 22:15

You know what it tastes like, Henry?

SPEAKER_02 22:17

What?

SPEAKER_05 22:17

Have you ever had those hostess fruit pies?

SPEAKER_02 22:20

Yes, question mark?

SPEAKER_05 22:22

So if you go into your grocer or your 7-Eleven or whatever, and you know they where like the Twinkies are and everything, there's those little pouches of pies, and they're full of ooey-goooey filling, and they have kind of this like vanilla-y glaze pocket.

SPEAKER_02 22:42

There's the toothpaste.

SPEAKER_05 22:43

I don't want to find toothpaste, but Henry has smashed his down, so it's like more cream than cookie at this point.

SPEAKER_02 22:58

I wanna try the red. Ew. The red isn't great.

SPEAKER_05 23:07

I wish I'd written this down, but I did see that there was a journal that published a study, I believe it was in 2022, that said it is physically impossible to fully separate the cream of an Oreo from the cookie.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

That's not possible.

SPEAKER_05 23:23

There's always a little bit of residue left behind.

SPEAKER_02 23:26

That's not true. I've literally done that.

SPEAKER_05 23:28

Okay, so I'm gonna unscrew one. Oh, I didn't have to unscrew that one, it just came open.

SPEAKER_02 23:32

One!

SPEAKER_05 23:34

Wow, we we've instantly proven that study wrong, although there is a stain of blue on this cookie. Yeah, I'm gonna say right off the top, we are getting kind of ripped off with this idea of this having more frosting in it or filling, because it's mostly white.

SPEAKER_02 23:57

Are you eating just the filling?

SPEAKER_05 23:59

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 24:00

Ew. I'm trying to get a pure bite.

SPEAKER_05 24:08

Yeah, the blue raspberry is practically non-existent as a flavor.

SPEAKER_01 24:11

Yeah, but it looks like link the top.

SPEAKER_05 24:18

Shudder to think what my fingers are gonna look like at the end of this. Yeah, it just there's not enough blueberry or blue raspberry. Yeah, it is looking red stains on my fingers. So let's try the cherry side. Now, surely cherry is something they've done before.

SPEAKER_02 24:43

Definitely.

SPEAKER_05 24:45

Damn! See, they just come apart. Yeah, this this cookie is an illusion. Oh wait, okay, there's cherry.

SPEAKER_02 24:55

The cookie is a lie.

unknown 24:57

Huh.

SPEAKER_05 24:57

This is two weeks in a row that we've had something, two episodes in a row that we've had something cherry flavored. Oh god. I don't even know how to get to the one. Wait, we pawned them off. We actually finished the other bags of MMs, but we gave the cherry chocolate cupcake ones to a friend because we literally could not stomach them.

SPEAKER_02 25:17

One of the co-hosts of critically acclaimed.

SPEAKER_05 25:19

Oh, did they go to Bibs?

SPEAKER_02 25:20

Yeah, did they not?

SPEAKER_05 25:21

I don't know. Well, if they did, shout out Bibbs. I hope you enjoyed them more than we did because we didn't.

SPEAKER_02 25:28

If they didn't, then they went to one.

SPEAKER_05 25:30

I'm gonna try one more cookie here, now that I've like licked the cream out of it. Henry's just looking at me with a mouthful of blue cream.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

Blue junk.

SPEAKER_04 25:42

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 25:43

Hold on, how'll my tongue look?

SPEAKER_05 25:46

It's blue, but it's not like stain blue.

SPEAKER_02 25:52

Guys, we got the null stuff Oreos right here.

SPEAKER_05 25:58

Henry licked all the frosting out of a cookie. Well, actually, I I saw that technically they call it cream, but they also call it fondant.

SPEAKER_02 26:06

They call it stuff.

SPEAKER_05 26:09

You just stuffed.

SPEAKER_02 26:11

The null stuff cookie.

SPEAKER_05 26:13

What's it stuffed with?

SPEAKER_02 26:15

Stuff. But with one app.

SPEAKER_05 26:22

I also totally get the review that said you probably don't want to eat more than two of these.

SPEAKER_02 26:29

And as someone who just ate three.

SPEAKER_05 26:32

No, I haven't even swallowed all of the second one yet, and I'm over it.

SPEAKER_02 26:37

I ate three. Yeah, you know how when you like eat a cupcake, if you bite off just the filling, your teeth feel like they're dissolving.

SPEAKER_05 26:51

I know what you mean. Like you get that waxy feeling.

SPEAKER_02 26:53

I don't know how I felt when I ate just the cream.

SPEAKER_05 26:59

Something's off with that cream. The cream is a lie. There's not enough of any of the flavors except lemon to make a meaningful impact.

SPEAKER_02 27:08

I'm gonna get more water.

SPEAKER_05 27:10

And then that just kind of makes the lemon take it over.

SPEAKER_02 27:15

So like podcast for a bit, I'm getting more water.

SPEAKER_05 27:18

So it when you bite it, it doesn't really read as bomb-pop. It reads more as like fruit punch. Which I do believe fruit punch is a flavor Oreo has tried before. And it's kind of a pity because I actually like what they're trying to do with the golden Oreos, kind of legitimize those a little bit, uh, even though they've been around for over 20 years. And I do like the idea of like a fruity vanilla cookie. That does sound really good. But but they they've really overshot the mark on these, in my opinion. And that actually brings us to our tier chart. Woohoo! Where as we review this again, S tier is delicious, A is tasty, B is mid, C is bad, and D is gross. We don't have an F tier because we we don't have room for that kind of negativity in our lives.

SPEAKER_02 28:16

Although in the last episode we were considering adding one called inedible.

SPEAKER_05 28:21

So I think I think I know where I'm at. Yeah. It'll be interesting to see where Henry's at. So I think let's on three, we'll say together what we think. Right? One, two, three.

SPEAKER_02 28:35

Oh what? Okay, hold on.

SPEAKER_05 28:38

Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_02 28:39

What? How do we split this? I don't know. It's in between two tiers.

SPEAKER_05 28:45

And I mean, they're tasty for like a minute, but I feel like that fades very quickly. You can have this entire box, just not right now, because it's close to your bedtime. Which, yeah, also don't eat a whole box of Oreos at once. It's super bad for you.

SPEAKER_02 29:01

No, I'm aware, but I'm saying that I could.

SPEAKER_05 29:03

I do want to point out that here at the Snack Fam, we do our best to be healthy. Yes, we are eating some probably pretty high caloric, high sugar. Um, this is not for the faint of heart or for the diabetic, but shy hooger.

SPEAKER_02 29:16

But uh, I promise we're not going and just like housing entire bags of chips or like after after we had those uh caramel chips back from episode one. We didn't devour the whole bag. In fact, we threw them away.

SPEAKER_05 29:29

I I really want to find more savory limited edition snacks. We gotta start looking at like We've done one. We did one, and then it was a sweet flavor. So we we have yet to try anything like bold or spicy or salty. Well, I mean There are so many flavors out there in the snack spectrum.

SPEAKER_02 29:48

Wink wink.

SPEAKER_05 29:49

And we keep kind of landing on sweet things that have been made sweeter and made sweeter in weird ways.

SPEAKER_02 29:57

Wink wink.

SPEAKER_05 29:58

What do you mean wink wink?

SPEAKER_02 30:00

I mean wink wink.

SPEAKER_05 30:01

I guess kinda kinda in the wings.

SPEAKER_02 30:04

Kinda kinda.

SPEAKER_05 30:05

Kinda sort, almost hardly. Um but yeah, gosh, how do we reconcile tasty and bad?

SPEAKER_02 30:14

Um, coin flip.

SPEAKER_05 30:16

Coin flip.

SPEAKER_02 30:17

Let's flip a co let's flip an Oreo.

SPEAKER_05 30:19

But an Oreo is the same on both sides.

SPEAKER_02 30:21

Not if you take off a cookie.

SPEAKER_05 30:23

That seems I have a coin right here.

SPEAKER_02 30:26

I'm going to use this dislodged Oreo cookie. If it lands on the part with the blue stain, it's tails. If it lands on the part with the Oreo, it's heads. What do you call them?

SPEAKER_05 30:37

Heads.

SPEAKER_02 30:41

Tails!

SPEAKER_05 30:43

Alright. Tasty asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, asterisk. Do not I don't want. He's trying to feed me another cookie. I'm like, it's not gonna change my mind. And crushing it and making the frosting blop out definitely does not change my mind. I'm gonna eat this other half just so you don't eat it, because it's late. Yeah. Um the verdict on Oreo Limited Edition Firecracker Pop Flavored Creme Oreo cookie situation. It's tasty? Tasty It's tasty question mark.

SPEAKER_02 31:31

Package of palatable.

SPEAKER_04 31:35

Well, I'm still chewing and swelling. We're very professional here.

SPEAKER_02 31:43

What is a synonym for tasty that begins with P? P or not not P, uh A.

SPEAKER_05 31:52

A. T. T. Which one? Hey, Tasty starts with a T.

SPEAKER_02 31:58

T. What? Um what's a synonym for tasty that starts with P?

SPEAKER_04 32:06

Pretty good. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 32:10

Package of pretty good. I like all right, package of pretty good.

SPEAKER_04 32:16

SPEAKER_02 32:22

unknown 32:27
