Now I've seen everything!
The limited edition Oreos have been hit or miss for me. Even when I like the underlying flavor, sometimes the taste isn't strong enough...or sometimes I question the type of cookie on the outside. And when I don't like the underlying flavor...well, there is nothing in the world that could get me to appreciate a Swedish Fish Oreo!
But I do love a good cheeseburger!
Let's start with the "creme." The cheese half isn't so much of a cheese-flavored creme as it is a cheese-flavored product akin to Cheese Whiz...albeit less creamy. The other half, supposedly beef flavor, tastes a lot more like artificial bacon flavor. In other words, smokey! And although the packaging does say that the cookie is made with ground beef (confirmed by the ingredient list), the tiny pieces of beef jerky are hardly noticeable and don't add anything to the flavor.
On its own, the inside isn't too bad, but then Nabisco made the decision to contain it in the usual artificial chocolate cookie. I've never been a fan of the cookie, preferring the Golden Oreos or the graham cookies they've used with other limited editions. I have no idea if it would have been possible to get a cookie to taste like a sesame seed bun...which tastes like nothing...but they didn't even try. Perhaps there is some country in the world where it is acceptable to combine cheeseburgers with chocolate, but if so, that's not a place where I want to live.
By the way, this limited edition cookie only comes out on this day every year, so if my review hasn't scared you off, good luck finding it!
RATING: 4/1
