Oreo has a new cookie flavor: Sour Patch Kids. These are the same shape
and size as regular Oreo cookies. That my friend is where similarities
end. Everyone knows the rule to Oreos is to eat the filling first, then dunk the cookie in milk and eat that. At least until you're a grown up - then you dunk the cookie and eat the whole thing together, as nature intended.
The Sour Patch Kids filling smells very much like the powder
in the bottom of fruity cereal like fruity pebbles or froot loops. There are little colored flecks or granules in the cream. The cream itself doesn’t taste like
anything - it's basically lard with a hint of sugar. Oreo missed an opportunity there. Texture wise, the
cream is gritty due to the little colored fleck/granule things. I thought they'd be like the sour granules on the outside of
Sour Patch kids. Ya know, the stuff that makes the candy sour - and they'd burst onto my tongue with the fruity/sour flavors. I was wrong. There is no burst of flavor or sour. It’s more like
a little tiny flavorless zing on your tongue as you wait for that sour that
never arrives.
As for the cookie I expected something.
Maybe a sour/citrus flavor? Or maybe a lemon or lime that might counter what should have been the strong sour coming from the filling. I couldn't have been more wrong. Imagine a graham cracker that’s been dunked in pink lemonade and left out to dry. There is just a hint of maybe pink lemonade taste. Barely a whiff. It’s like eating a graham cracker and somebody across the street screamed PINK LEMONADE! Even that is being generous.
Notably, given the lack of actual flavor - these cookies leave a
weird aftertaste that I cannot describe. Milk didn't help. I even tried Pink
Lemonade as a chaser to see if that would be a flavor enhancer. It was
not. I yelled SOUR PATCH right before I ate the second cookie. That
didn't help either. These taste like the Wish version of sour. They're not sour-ish, or sour lite. I wouldn't even describe them as diet sour. They're sour deficient.
Overall, I think this is a fail for Oreo. And that makes me sad, because I had hoped for an enjoyable cookie experience.

I honestly have a few lotions I use because what I detest is a lotion that leaves my hands feeling greasy, oily, or sticky, or that has a super strong smell. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to go wash my freshly lotioned hands off because they were greasy or sticky or because the smell was so strong I started sneezing. thank you allergies
Gold Bond healing is one of the few lotions I've tried that not only doesn't leave my hands gross feeling, they are actually softer. I've used this 4 or 5 times now and honestly, I have zero complaints. It leaves my hands feeling soft, nourished, and has a pleasant but not overwhelming smell.
Thanks to whomever gifted this to me. :)
Salty deliciousness that I rely on from Lays + Taco flavored? What's not to love?
Let me tell you.
THESE are not to love.
I didn't get taco flavor at all. I got something that reminded me of lettuce, then something almost sour, like maybe a hint of sour cream, but I thought there was also lime. Sadly though, the flavor I never got was actual taco flavor.
As far as consistency, my brain could not compute the flavors I was getting, absent any real crunch. I think my brain was expecting a corn tortilla flavored crunch that never came.
Because true to form, it was a potato chip. Crisp yes. Crunchy? Not so much.
I haven't been this disappointed since the first time I was tricked into
eating styrofoam, er, I mean a rice cake.
I'm disappointed because I wanted these to be good. I wanted to make taco dip and eat the whole bag while binge watching something stupid rather than working. Or cleaning.
Instead, the only entertainment I got happened when I tricked my family into trying a chip and watching their faces fade from curious and hopeful to pucker and resentment.
Final recommendation: stick to Taco Flavored Doritos.
