Oreo and Coca-Cola are now partners, and their love child is certainly something
Though their flavor pallets seem at odds with one another, Oreo has teamed up with Coca-Cola to provide customers with two variations of their signature products.
It’s a good year to be a food and drink lover as countless brands compete to one-up each other with outlandish ideas and strange versions of their existing products. Just recently, fans were treated to Auntie Anne’s perfume and a popcorn-flavored Coca-Cola from McDonald’s.
If you’ve ever wanted Coca-Cola-flavored Oreos, you’re in luck
Just days after Taco Bell shocked its fanbase with its iteration of a retirement community, Oreo and Coca-Cola have announced their partnership.
As “newfound besties”, Coca-Cola and Oreo have been exploring their relationship and what possible collaborations could look like in the future. The first lovechild of their union is the Oreo Zero Sugar Limited Edition drink, while the second is the Oreo and Coca-Cola Sandwich Cookie.
Bringing together the playfulness of OREO and the Real Magic of Coca-Cola is unexpected, but also feels right because our brands are alike in so many ways, said Oana Vlad, Global Vice President – Brand Strategy at The Coca-Cola Company. As a first-of-its-kind collaboration for both brands, we are thrilled for besties around the world to join us in celebrating new products, great experiences and unexpected moments of connection.
As per the press release and popular snacking Instagram @Snackolator, who earlier teased Walmart’s Raising Cane’s dupe, the sandwich contains one standard Oreo with Coca-Cola syrup and another one with red coloring and an embossed logo.
“The base cakes are paired with a Coca-Cola� taste fans know and love, and popping candies that bring a fizz sensation to every bite,” Snackolator added.
Meanwhile, the beverage is a standard sugar-free Coca-Cola with “flavorful hints inspired by OREO� cookies.”
The new creations from Oreo and Coca-Cola are being released on September 9th in most major retailers.
Some are not sold on the invention
Oreo is positively ecstatic with the upcoming release, as Global Head of Marketing Eugenia Zalis said: At OREO, we strive to identify fresh ways to excite consumers and, with this collaboration, we have truly upped the ante.
The bestie bond forged between OREO and Coca-Cola is a playful way to unite our fanbases and celebrate the power of connection and togetherness. We cannot wait to see the reaction to the campaign and hope fans are excited to experience the latest twists on two classics.
Unfortunately, not everyone seems sold on the idea, as one person penned on Instagram: “JUST STOP its worse than the sour patch kid cookie just stick to the flavors you have now you have so many with hella sales please just take a break well be here waiting.”
“You CANT be serious,” another said alongside several vomiting emojis.
