    I’m sorry to hear, that those Mystery Oeros aren’t for your tastebuds Chris 🙁
    Though it makes me even more convinced, that the key to this “puzzle” is actually the wafer.
    Every review i read so far is saying, that they oeros and especially the creme smells and taste so much like the Fruity Crisp Oreo, that Nabisco must had something in mind using the cocoa wafers. 🙂

    I’m so curious about the final answer form Nabisco. Thanks for the review! 🙂

      It’s quite alright! I don’t think they were going for the most enjoyable flavor with this particular cookie. The entire appeal of this promotion is sitting in a room with a bunch of people sharing your guesses and second-guessing yourself. The chocolate wafer is probably just a masking agent, and they wanted it to look exactly like the classic Oreo. I can’t wait to see what they end up calling it!

    Gonna have to add to the “gross” consensus. No one in my office likes them. One guy guessed Lysol. I found that the flavor kept changing til I settled on Pez.

      Pez-type candy crossed my mind at one point. Of the 15 coworkers I asked, 14 of them said Fruity Pebbles or Fruit Loops and they weren’t given any clues beforehand. Many said it as soon as they smelt it. One said tangerine, but he had just finished spaghetti.

    Tasted a bit like the old licorice gum that I spit out as a kid. I spit this Oreo out too. Mediciney

    After tasting the center filling I’ve come to two conclusions. I hate them and you should never mix a great cookie recipe with a great cereal. I believe the mystery taste is Fruity Pebbles.

    I thought these were actually delicious. The flavor is pretty obviously just fruit loops, but I really love the flavor. It’s just an exact copy of fruit loops in the chocolate wafer. And I’m so happy they used the chocolate wafer for this one instead of the oversweet, boring, stupid golden wafers.

    Tasted like those nasty orange slice candy to me. With a bitter chocolate after taste!! Nasty
