The menu item starts off with Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream that's paired with [Oreo Cookie pieces and chocolate sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-reeses-blizzard) to give it a rich yet familiar flavor profile. The menu item is making its way to participating locations now through November 21, 2025 for $6.49 and is positioned as the perfect treat to enjoy on its own or as a dessert with a meal.

President Pat Conlin commented on the Wayback Burgers Oreo Cookie Sundae saying, "We’re rewriting the rulebook – one layer at a time – with our take on a parfait. Our shakes continue to be one of the most asked for items by guests across our entire system, so we decided to elevate the category and swap the straw for a spoon. We’re excited to see our guests’ reactions to the new sundae, and know the decadent, sweet layers will be tough to resist, whether that’s in-restaurant or on-the-go.”
