Oreo Introduces New Fruity Strawberry Shortcake Flavor
Another week, another limited-edition Oreo flavor released. Mondelez has announced strawberry shortcake Oreos made with vanilla cookies and a pastel-pink strawberry-flavored center, available exclusively at Walmart this spring, according to reps for the cookie giant.
The new flavor is expected to hit Walmart shelves nationwide starting April 4, just in time for the deliciously warm weather.
For those keeping score at home, that makes four new Oreo flavors in 2016 alone, and 10 new Oreo varieties in the past year including a Hostess cupcake variety and cinnamon bun flavor.
The new strawberry shortcake variety will be available in regular-sized or mini packages, but get them while they're hot — they probably won't last long.
Twitter, of course, had plenty of reactions to the new cookie:
Hopefully this means other Oreo flavors like Care Bears, Rainbow Brite and Duck Tales are right around the corner.https://t.co/AgTHSotBCA
