OREO Coca-Cola is the bubbly partnership that is sweet, fizzy perfection
Sorry milk, but the favorite sandwich cookie has a new bestie. OREO and Coca-Cola launched a food collaboration that has people over the moon with that first bite and sip. It is time to bubble up to the better beverage combination and everyone will be happy that they did.
Food and beverage combinations have become more popular. The crossover between popular brands excites people. From the person who lines their pantry with their favorite food to the shopper who is ready to venture beyond their comfort zone, these products are instant hits.
The latest limited edition offerings from OREO and Coca-Cola are collaborations across the aisles. They are OREO Coca-Cola Sandwich Cookie and Coca-Cola OREO Zero Sugar Limited Edition. Whether this food and beverage combination is eaten together or separate, both are equally as delicious.
It is the first time ever that these two iconic, global brands have joined forces. Given that the two flavor profiles work well together, it seems that it should have been on the table beforehand. Personally, I have dunked many an OREO into a Coke over the years.
The combination of the sweet, bubbly cola with the crème and chocolate cookie just hits right. It might not be the traditional dunking beverage, but it works.
With the new OREO Coca-Cola Sandwich Cookie, the treat captures both items of the food mash-up in perfect harmony. Without breaking into that infamous commercial jingle, the two flavors blend together well.
First, everyone will notice the color and branding. The sandwich cookies make a big impression on the plate. That item is clear.
With the first taste, the Coke flavor comes through. Anyone who remembers a Coca-Cola TicTac offering from a few years back might have a sense memory. There is a similar flavor in that crème. It tastes like Coke but richer.
The nice aspect to this OREO is the popping candy folded into the crème. That little bit extra helps to mimic the carbonation in the beverage. Plus, popping candy is always fun.
Truthfully, this new OREO cookie will fly off store shelves. It is one of the more successful limited-edition flavors. For people who swoon over that first bite, they better buy some extra bags.
As for the Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Limited Edition Beverage, it is equally as refreshing. While Coca-Cola has pushed its creativity within the Creations Line, the crossover with OREO is a smart play for this launch.
Overall, there is some extra sweetness to the beverage. Without becoming cloying, it feels as if someone dunked some OREOS into the glass and that flavor melded with the Coke Zero.
Truthfully, this Coke Zero flavor would be perfect with a scoop of cookies and cream ice cream for a float. It would bring together all the flavors.
The OREO Coca-Cola Sandwich Cookie and Coca-Cola OREO Zero Sugar Limited Edition beverage will hit store shelves on September 9. They will be available for a limited time, while supplies last.
