From Fruit Punch to Banana Split, OREO is known for creating wild sandwich cookie flavors, and three limited-edition flavors are dropping across the United States, along with a Twist, Lick, Vote campaign that will let snackers decide which one will make a nationwide retail return in 2027. OREO Banana Pudding Cookies, OREO Deep Fried Cookies and OREO Chicken & Waffles Cookies are the three new OREO flavors up for a vote. Uniquely, the OREO Chicken & Waffles Cookies variety introduces a waffle texture embossment and dual-layered creme, both infused with sweet and savory notes.
As of August 17th, all three OREO cookie packs go up for presale, and fans can also shop for packs on SnackWorks' TikTok Shop storefront in limited quantities before the cookies begin rolling out to retail stores across the United States.
What's Driving This Trend
- Fan-voted Flavors
- Consumer-led product selection turns limited-edition launches into market research engines, creating new potential for snack brands to validate demand before national rollouts.
- Savory-sweet Cookies
- Hybrid flavor profiles such as chicken and waffles signal room for confectionery brands to blur meal and dessert boundaries through unexpected taste experimentation.
- Social Commerce Drops
- TikTok Shop presales connect product discovery, scarcity and purchase in one channel, opening new pathways for CPG brands to convert fandom into immediate sales.
Who This Affects Most
