Coca-Cola and Oreo is the latest food collab to hit NZ shelves, and we’re not sure how to feel about the unexpected flavour combo.
Oreo has added the classic Coca-Cola flavoring and red sprinkles to the creme filling – and we all know we’re licking that middle first before taking a bite of the bikkie.
And in case you haven’t already guessed, the Oreo cookie has made its way into the drink. Thankfully its just a bit of flavouring, so you won't find any soggy biscuit surprises floating in your glass.
It's being called the first collab of its kind because the flavor combo goes both ways.
“We are bringing together the playfulness of OREO and the Real Magic of Coca‑Cola to make the perfect pairing,” says Kate Miller, Senior Marketing Director at Coca‑Cola South Pacific.
But the real question is, does the flavour combo actually work? More FM’s Breakfast Club put both the drink and the cookie through a taste test.
“It’s better than what I expected,” Producer Bondy said biting into the biscuit.
"It’s sooo sweet,” Lana added. “You wouldn’t want to give kids too many of these, they’ll be bouncing off the walls.”
The drink was compared to Vanilla Coke, and given a solid 5 out of 5.
The question is, do we dare to dunk the Coke-flavoured Oreo into the Oreo-flavoured Coke? I reckon my taste buds would be even more confused than I was writing that sentence.
Might have to make a run to the supermarket, dairy or petrol station on my way home to give it a go before they disappear.
