In response to the news that the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence will be declassifying information about advanced aerial threats at the end of the month, OREO created special Offering cookie packs. The limited-edition OREO packaging and campaign was created to make it known that the brand is "ready to greet any lifeforms that might be out there."
The black and blue packaging features an intricate design that was given away to fans. The product packaging describes a ritual that can be done to make an offering to any potentially intelligent life out there by placing the cookies within a clear view of the sky. The cookies themselves are stamped with designs inspired by crop circles, appealing to sci-fi fans and alien enthusiasts who are eager to get answers soon.
