While we’re all hangin’ out on the couch binging on junk food… it’s time to salute America’s favorite cookie— which keeps finding new ways to excite the public about a treat that’s been hanging around kitchens for 108 years.

Of course… I’m talking about Oreos.   In the past three years… Oreo has introduced the following limited edition flavors.   Carrot Cake Oreas.  Crispy Tiramisu Oreos.  Jelly Donut, Mississippi Mud Pie and Key Lime Oreos.

There were Churro flavored Mystery Oreos… Waffle and Syrup Oreos.

None of them as good as the original of course. 

And that’s the point.  The new flavors spark new interest… and send people back to the store to buy plain ole oreos.  The New York Times reports when the novelty flavors boost sales by 12-percent… traditional oreas go up 22 percent.

So they spentdup to two years researching,, choosing … and baking each of these new flavors.

But did you know they make special flavors for other countries? And you’re never gonna get to taste them?   In China they sell hot chicken wing oreos.  And wasabi oreos.  But thats nothing. 

To give you an idea how different taste buds work in China… a few weeks ago McDonalds briefly offered a Spam and Oreo Burger.  Two slabs of spam with the sweet aftertaste of Oreos mixed in.

I have no idea if it goes well with fry sauce.

But here’s one that goes well with milk.  The new oreo just hitting stores has three layers of creme.  Brownie fl, original creme and cookie dough.  Pressed between two delicious biscuits.

Hey.  It’s better the spam.
