🦃THE COOKIE THAT SHOULDN’T EXIST

There are culinary experiments. There are seasonal gimmicks.
And then there’s whatever Oreo just did.

The cookie brand that once made peace between milk and mankind has decided to go rogue — unveiling a Thanksgiving Dinner Tin stuffed with flavors that sound less like dessert and more like a dare.

Yes, Turkey. Cranberry Sauce. Creamed Corn. All baked between two innocent-looking chocolate wafers and marketed as “flavor innovation.” Somewhere, a pilgrim is crying.

🎁 THE FLAVORS THAT SHOULD’VE STAYED IN THE KITCHEN

Oreo’s limited-edition Thanksgiving tin includes two cookies each of:

• Cranberry Sauce

• Pumpkin Pie

• turkey & Stuffing

• Creamed Corn

• Sweet Potato

• Caramel apple Pie

While pumpkin pie and caramel apple are familiar fall favorites, the others sound like something Gordon Ramsay would yell about on TV.

Turkey-flavored cookies? Creamed corn filling? This isn’t dessert — it’s culinary performance art.

💬 THE INTERNET’S VERDICT: STRAIGHT TO JAIL

As expected, social media went feral.

“Keep everything else, I just want the can,” one fan sighed.

“Who asked for this? Straight to jail,” another tweeted.

The reactions ranged from disbelief to existential despair. Some wondered if Oreo was trolling the world. Others feared this was what happens when marketing teams get too much creative freedom and not enough supervision.

🧠 OREO CALLS IT A “BOLD TASTE JOURNEY.” TRANSLATION: YOU’RE THE EXPERIMENT.

Oreo insists this isn’t a prank. The company described it as a “flavor experiment” — a chance to “help shape the future of flavor innovation.”

That’s marketing-speak for: “We’re watching to see who actually eats these so we can adjust the algorithm.”

At $19.99 a tin, not including shipping, this “bold taste journey” costs almost as much as an actual Thanksgiving turkey — except this one comes with stuffing-flavored cream sandwiched between cookies.

💀 FROM SWEET TO SAVORY: THE DEATH OF DESSERT AS WE KNOW IT

This isn’t Oreo’s first descent into culinary chaos.
Earlier this year, they dropped a Coca-Cola-flavored Oreo, confusing everyone except the algorithm that approved it.

And now? They’ve gone full Frankenstein.

A savory cookie that blurs the line between festive celebration and food fight.

At this rate, the next Oreo collaboration might come with a warning label: “Not suitable for human consumption after common sense.”

🍗 THE TREND OF ‘SHOCK FLAVORS’: WHEN MARKETING TASTES WORSE THAN THE PRODUCT

Oreo isn’t alone in this madness. KFC has already teased fried chicken and gravy-flavored jelly beans for 2026.

We’ve officially entered the age of shock gastronomy — where the flavor doesn’t have to taste good, it just has to trend.

Brands no longer compete for taste; they compete for tweets.
In this economy, being “disgusting” is just another way to go viral.

🧃 SO… SHOULD YOU TRY IT?

If your idea of Thanksgiving includes confusing your taste buds and alarming your ancestors — sure.
If you want to understand what betrayal tastes like — absolutely.
But if you still believe cookies are supposed to be sweet? Maybe just stick to the original.

Because some traditions — and some flavors — shouldn’t be tampered with.

⚡ BOTTOM LINE: JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN BAKE IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD.

Oreo’s Thanksgiving tin might be a “bold innovation,” but it’s also a perfect metaphor for our times — where the weirder it is, the more it sells.

So here’s to 2025:
The year dessert officially gave up and joined the circus.
