It smells like Fruity Pebbles, which is weird because why would Oreo again offer a fruity cereal flavor a year after <a href=https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2016\/06\/06\/review-limited-edition-fruity-crisp-oreo-cookies><\/a>Fruity Crisp Oreo.

The mystery creme also tastes like Fruity Pebbles, and at times like Froot Loops. But as I licked, ate, and rubbed it over my tongue, an orange and milk flavor stood out. So it got me wondering whether it could be Orange Creamsicle-flavored, which would also be a little odd because there was a <a href=https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2011\/05\/27\/review-limited-edition-creamsicle-oreo><\/a>Creamsicle Oreo back in 2011.

But it\u2019s hyper sweet and potent, so much so that it negates the chocolate wafer\u2019s flavor whenever I eat a cookie whole. That\u2019s surprising since a regular complaint I\u2019ve had with several Oreo varieties is how the wafer dampens the creme\u2019s flavor. For some, I imagine the creme will be way too sweet.<\/p>\n<p>I loved Fruity Crisp Oreo, so it\u2019s not surprising that I like these. I also love the idea of having a Mystery Oreo, so I hope there\u2019s a new one every year.
