The Oreo O's were originally introduced by Post cereals in 1998 and were removed in 2007, which will make them a nostalgic treat to enjoy in a bowl with milk or straight out of the box by those who loved them back in the day. The new Honey Maid S'mores feature the brand's classic cracker cookies mixed with [marshmallows and chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-spoon-protein-cereal) for a scrumptious taste of s'mores in each bite. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nostalgia Food Products:** The trend of nostalgia strengthens as Post cereals release retro-flavored, dessert-inspired breakfast options. - **Hybrid Food Products:** The creation of breakfast cereal flavors inspired by popular desserts like s'mores and Oreos create opportunities for innovation in the hybrid food industry. - **Innovative Morning Meal Options:** Post cereals presents consumers with innovative out of the box breakfast options, opening doors for breakfast food industry innovation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cereal Manufacturing:** Manufacturers of cereal have the opportunity to create dessert-inspired or other innovative breakfast food options. - **Bakery Goods:** Bakery goods companies could create hybrid baked goods that feature flavors inspired by popular breakfast cereals like Oreo O's. - **Snack Food Industry:** The combination of popular desserts with breakfast options may encourage the snack food industry to create and brand more hybridized products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Childhood Dessert-Inspired Cereal Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereal-flavors.md) - [Dessert-Like Breakfast Snack Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kelloggs-products.md) - [Confection-Inspired Cereal Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cereal-cups.md) - [Value-Sized Breakfast Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/post-cereals.md) - [Snacking-Friendly Cookie Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-puffs-cereal-cups.md) - [Indulgent Breakfast Oat Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-quaker-oats.md) - [Sandwich Cookie Breakfast Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-puffs.md) - [Marshmallowy Milk-Enhancing Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marshmallow-cocoa-pebbles.md) - [Wintry Cookie-Inspired Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oats-sugar-cookie-cereal.md)
