OREO and Post Malone's Stoney Collaboration: A Sweet and Kinda Salty Review

Okay, so you guys know I'm a total sucker for limited-edition OREOs. I mean, who isn't? They're like the crack cocaine of cookies – you can't just have one. So, when I heard about the Post Malone OREOs, I had to get my hands on them. I even braved the grocery store on a Saturday – a true act of bravery, let me tell you. The hype was REAL.

First Impressions: A Whole Lotta Brown

The packaging? Killer. Seriously, the design was on point. It screamed "Post Malone" – that kinda dark, edgy vibe, you know? But the cookies themselves? They were...brown. Really, really brown. I mean, I'm used to the classic OREO's dark chocolatey goodness, but these were on a whole 'nother level of brown. It looked like they’d been baked in a swamp or something! lol.

The initial bite? Definitely a departure from classic OREOs. The cookie itself is way different. It's not as crisp as a regular Oreo; it's more of a soft-baked, almost cake-like texture. This felt weird at first. I expected a crunch. I crave a crunch.

The Filling: Sweet, Spicy, and Kinda Strange

Now, the filling is where things get interesting. It's described as a "strawberry flavored creme with a hint of spicy chili." On paper, that sounded AMAZING. A little sweet, a little heat...genius! But in reality? It was...weird. Don't get me wrong, the strawberry flavor was present, it wasn't like they just threw some red coloring in there. But the chili element? Subtle, I guess, is the word. I'm not sure it added anything that special to the flavor profile. It wasn't bad, per se, just...unexpected and a little underwhelming.

Think of it like this: you're expecting a fiery kiss from your partner, and you get a gentle peck on the cheek. You're not mad about it, just slightly disappointed. You know?

The Verdict: Worth the Hype? Maybe Not.

Look, I appreciate the attempt. A collab with Post Malone is a bold move, and the packaging is top-notch. The marketing campaign alone was worth mentioning. The unique soft-baked texture was definitely a change of pace and the concept was novel. I'm not mad about that, especially since trying new things is often beneficial. But the execution of the spicy chili element is where it falls short for me. The flavor was just kind of there and not as intense as I expected. I've had better, more creative limited edition OREOs.

Practical Tips for Trying Limited-Edition OREOs:

• Manage your expectations: Don't go in expecting a life-altering culinary experience. These are still OREOs, after all. Knowing that will help reduce any potential disappointment.
• Buy only one pack: Unless you're truly obsessed (like me, maybe). It is often too easy to get carried away with limited-edition products. They are expensive, and, unless it is something you’ll repeatedly enjoy, it is often a waste of money.
• Pair it with something: The next time I eat the Post Malone OREOs, I'll try pairing them with some vanilla ice cream to counteract the strange aftertaste.

Overall? A 6.5/10. Would I buy them again? Probably not. But would I recommend them to a friend? Maybe, as a novelty, just once. It's a great example of how even the most hyped-up products can sometimes fall short of expectations. But hey, at least it made for a fun blog post, right?
