The new Krystal Oreo Cookie Shakes and Sundaes have been released by the QSR brand along with the Oreo Summer of Wonder Contest to offer consumers a way to treat themselves and potentially win a prize.
The Oreo Summer of Wonder Contest works by having patrons purchase one of the treats and post a picture of it to Twitter or Instagram, tagging @Krystal and @OREO, and using the hashtag #OREOKrystalSweepstakes. Winners will receive a $100 Krystal gift card to redeem at any of the brand's locations.
The Krystal Oreo Cookie Shakes and Sundaes can be added to any meal at a cost of $1 or as a replacement for the drink in the combo. The shakes and sundaes are blended with ample amounts of the classic cookies and will be available on the Krystal Sweet & Cold menu for an undisclosed period.
