Get Ready for Oreo-Flavored Coke, and Coke-Flavored Oreos
Which of these sound better . . . or maybe WORSE?
Coca-Cola is teaming up with Nabisco for an Oreo-flavored soda . . . AND a Coca-Cola-flavored cookie.
They say the soda has a “refreshing Coca-Cola taste with flavorful hints inspired by Oreos.” But unlike the cookies, it’s zero sugar.
They say the Coke-flavored cookies have the, quote, “Coca-Cola inspired taste fans know and love.” One side of each Oreo is red, and the white cream has red edible glitter mixed in.
Both are being rolled out to stores next month. They’re also selling a frozen version of the drink at McDonald’s and 7-Eleven. And if that’s not convoluted enough, they’re looping in two more big brands: Spotify and Forever 21.
They’re calling it their “Besties” promo. They say it was inspired by how friends often become a, quote, “combination of their very best traits, making each other even better together.” (Someone in marketing worked overtime on that one.)
The packaging will have a QR code you can use to “sync up music preferences” with your friends on Spotify.
And Forever 21 will have a bunch of “Bestie Mode” branded clothing you can buy for under $20. (Or wait a year and get it at Goodwill for $1.)
