\"Nabisco<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, I guess this is how it starts.<\/p>\n

Yes, \u201cit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t act like you don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. It\u2019s only the single worst thing in the universe; the thing people have been warning us about for years. It\u2019s the reason why I\u2019ve been stocking up the shelves in my basement, quietly prepping for the disaster I knew would eventually befall us. And to think the harbinger of the impending doom is America\u2019s most beloved cookie company.<\/p>\n

The cerealapocalypse.<\/p>\n

After tasting the new Fruity Crisp Oreo Cookies I\u2019m convinced the end of cereal eating as we know could be near. We already knew people were ditching cereal because they\u2019ve been too damn lazy <\/a>to wash out their bowls, but now that Oreo has managed to pack the flavor of Fruity Pebbles in between their Golden wafers, well, Post might as well file Chapter 11.<\/p>\n

Every time Oreo releases a new flavor people say things like, \u201cThis is a game-changer.\u201d But I\u2019m not here to tell you what is and is not a gamer changer; I\u2019m here to tell you these cookies taste exactly like Fruity freaking<\/i> Pebbles, right on down to that initial Paleolithic burst of cloying artificial fruit flavor.<\/p>\n

\"Nabisco<\/a><\/p>\n

From the moment I opened the bag the unmistakable aroma of Fruity Pebbles assaulted my nostrils like a friendly prehistoric child with a large club, while an initial sampling of the Golden Oreo base revealed the distinct aftertaste of the Fruity Pebbles cereal we all remember from the days when we smuggled it into our mommies\u2019 shopping carts at the supermarket.<\/p>\n

\"Nabisco<\/a><\/p>\n

After effortlessly separating the filling from the cookies, I sampled the frosting-like creme on its own. This is not your standard Oreo creme. It\u2019s not as chalky or stiff as regular Oreo creme, and it has a shelf-stable frosting like quality in the way you can pluck it from the cookie with your finger. The taste, bursting with crispy, fruity cereal pieces, is unmistakably milky and sweet, like cereal that\u2019s been steeped in milk for the better part of a day. If I was going to make an ice cream out of cereal, I imagine it would taste a lot like the creme.<\/p>\n

Yes, the cerealapocalypse is upon us.<\/p>\n

Biting into each cookie, you get every element of a bowl of Fruity Pebbles; the milk is there, the crispy cereal texture is there, and of course, the hypersweet fruity taste dominates. Basically, each cookie renders the cereal box and carton of milk a relic from the past. As a traditional cereal eater, even I will admit it tastes insanely awesome.<\/p>\n

But there may be one hope for those of us used to eating cereal the old fashioned way. For as much as I enjoyed the first couple of cookies, I couldn\u2019t get into the same kind of mindless cookie eating groove that I can get into with a standard Oreo. I mean, you have to really love Fruity Pebbles to make it through an entire package, mostly because the overwhelmingly sweet, artificial taste of Fruity Pebbles is so accurate that you feel like you\u2019ve just eaten 3-4 bowls of Fruity Pebbles after just 3-4 cookies. With that in mind, I can see some Oreo fanatics loving these cookies, but not making them a repeat purchase.<\/p>\n

In any case, that\u2019s my only hope for the cereal industry, because these cookies are so accurate in copying the taste of Fruity Pebbles, they\u2019ll make you forget Fred Flintstone existed.<\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.00
\nSize:<\/b> 10.7 oz
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Giant
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Perfectly captures the taste of Fruity Pebbles in every bite. Milky, frosting-like creme. Crispy textural contrast. Golden wafers that have fruity cereal taste.
\nCons:<\/b> Exceptionally sweet and artificial, to the point where the Fruity Pebbles taste can wear on you. Packaging literally out of the Stone Age. Not as good as some of the other limited edition Oreo flavors. Needs a chocolate lovers equivalent with chocolate wafers and Cocoa Pebbles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
