Mysterious Sandwich Cookie Flavors

Mystery Oreos are Back with a Chance to Win $50,000

— June 13, 2019 — Marketing
After a two-year-long hiatus, Mystery Oreos are back. Not only is there a new mystery flavor for fans to enjoy, but one clever taste taster could end up with $50,000.

To confirm the debut of the new Mystery Oreos, the brand created a little poem. The poem reads: "We are excited to say, a new mystery is on the way. New flavor, new clues, we confirm the news. Get ready to free your inner detective, you’ll need those skills to be effective." In other words, you'll need to put your detective skills to the test to guess the new flavor. If you're right, you'll be entered for a chance to win the top prize of $50,000. Not a bad deal for eating some cookies.
