Is there a more perfect sandwich cookie than the Oreo? The world may never know. We exist in the timeline where milk’s favorite cookie, as well as ours, exists. With smooth creme filling between rich chocolatey wafer cookies, what more could you ask for? While the original will always have our hearts, Oreo’s various delectable flavors are some of its best creations.
From S’mores to Birthday Cake and the groundbreaking Golden variety, it’s difficult to choose a favorite. Instead of settling for just one, let’s round up five discontinued Oreo flavors that deserve a re-release for National Oreo Day on Friday, March 6.
The lore behind the Churro Oreos runs deep, inspired by the famous Spanish dessert. Five years before launching as its own cookie, Oreo released a Mystery Oreo flavor with a contest. The $50,000 winner correctly guessed the churro flavor. In 2024, Oreo released these limited-edition cookies with a fried-dough-flavored cookie and churro-flavored creme with sugar inclusions. Truly deserving of a comeback.
Cookie Butter Oreos were first released in September 2017 with graham-flavored wafer cookies filled with cinnamon-spiced cookie butter-flavored creme. A flavor that feels like FOMO for those who missed out initially.
Marshmallow Crispy Oreos, launched in 2014, featured a marshmallow-flavored cream with crispy rice pieces, reminiscent of Rice Krispies Treats. A texture symphony deserving of a second chance.
Oreo Magic Dunkers, although more whimsical than a flavor, turned milk a magical blue when dunked, adding an extra touch of whimsy to childhood snacks in the early 2000s. Who doesn’t enjoy a little extra magic with their Oreos?
Red Velvet Oreos, an ode to the classic dessert, features a red velvet-flavored wafer cookie with cream cheese-flavored creme. Initially discontinued despite positive reviews, Oreo re-released the flavor in 2023 for a limited time, proving its popularity and leaving fans craving for more.
National Oreo Day is the perfect occasion to appreciate the variety and innovation of Oreo flavors, both classic and discontinued, that have captured the hearts of cookie lovers worldwide.
