Oreo has quite a track record when it comes to concocting unconventional and interesting new variations of its iconic sandwich cookies. Remember wild flavors like kettle corn, cherry cola and Peeps?
Those proved to be successful in their own way, but this time, it’s gone a decidedly different and rather strange direction with its latest offerings. The makers of the cookie aisle staple just unleashed two new flavors in China that fall in the savory and spicy territory: Hot Chicken Wing and Wasabi.
The parent company behind Oreo, Mondelēz International, recently announced the pair of new flavors in a tweet. Hot Chicken Wing features a Buffalo Sauce-esque orange cream filling, while Wasabi has a bright green center. Both flavors appear to feature the classic chocolate cookies.
Mondelēz International hasn’t commented on whether they plan to expand availability for either of the spicy new offerings beyond China, so that means the these flavors won’t be hitting store U.S. store shelves anytime soon. So any American desperate and brave enough to try the new flavors will either need to head to China or pay the shipping fee.
Of course, the Hot Chicken Wing and Wasabi cookies have provoked some intense reactions on the Internet, with many people taking to Twitter to voice their skepticism and dislike for the two new flavors.
