Best and Worst Oreo Flavours Ever Ranked

As everyone well knows, Oreo has rolled out an incredible amount of pretty bizarre cookie varieties—from wasabi to even fried chicken. Since Oreo launches the cookies every few months and some are amazing while others...less so, there's surely an Oreo available for every preference. As new cookie and singer Selena Gomez collaborations are announced, we compiled a list of Oreo's all-time most stunning creations and flavors that you can't find in stores anymore.

Selena Gomez

Back in May 2025, the cookie giants enlisted actor and singer Selena Gomez to help bring out a taste inspired by her passion for horchata (Mexican rice drink).

This cinnamon sugar-spiced cookie includes a spread of both chocolate and cinnamon creme over a different cinnamon, sweetened condensed milk-flavored creme spread, all between two sheets of double chocolate cinnamon cookie. Delicious and a potent mix of sweet and spicy; it’s currently limited edition; however we see so many people wanting this cookie to become a part of the forever lineup now that they have got the chance to try it. Who knows, it may climb our ranks after this has!

Wasabi

In 2018, Oreo made a product which at the time was so crazy there were rumours about it being a joke. Fortunately for those who love the more weird flavours produced by Cookie Monster, it’s not all there was a lie. The product was ONLY available in China for a limited time, and it set tongues on fire with the mouthwatering spicy crème.

Hot Chicken Wing

If you’re in this lot and find it too eccentric, best not read any further! Sweet yet savoury and also undeniably messy – hot chicken wing Oreos aren’t your average cookie. Sweet ‘wing’ flavored crème packs between two original chocolate biscuit layers. Try crushing original Oreos into chicken-flavored potato crisps, so get a taste of what the Oreo actually was, without eating chicken cookies.

Watermelon

This tempting limited edition release featured two of the iconic Golden cookie creations, but stuffed them with a strawberry-coloured watermelon filling. The company first launched them to the public back in 2013, and unfortunately most who nibbled on them found that they failed on their watermelon promise. tasters described them as sweet and artificial as opposed to fresh and fruity.

Root Beer Float

In 2014, someone gifted us a limited edition treat called, you guessed it, Root Beer Float Oreos. Available for only a short period of time, these yummy treats not only feature the quintessential flavors of a root beer float, but they also come in two Golden Oreos, a match made in Oreo-heaven if you ask me!

Football

But while Oreo clearly loves to branch out with experimental flavours, it doesn’t try out different shapes, with new cookies mostly still keeping round-ish. In 2010, though, the brand experimented with a shape shift, launching a limited run of Football Oreo biscuits: American football-shaped versions of its original fondant-filled cookies.

Swedish Fish

Oreo is no novice when it comes to other cult snack brand collaborations – and who could forget this deliciously interesting one. In 2016, the cookie extraordinaire set tongues wagging when Oreo introduced American fans to the not-quite-guaranteed-to-be-safe Swedish Fish Oreo, with the original biscuits containing a vibrant cherry-hued fondant.

Banana Split

A batch of this special edition variety captured the retro diner dessert, which graced shelves back in 2013. The Banana Split Oreos contained a colourful strawberry and banana creme filling held between one Golden cookie and one original chocolate cookie - we're surprised someone didn't add a cherry to the top

Sour Patch Kids

Pucker Up The sweet and sour candies, Sour Patch Kids, jumped into the Oreo world of 2024. The golden, sprinkled Oreos were supposed to evoke the taste of the tart-sour candy flavor in a cookie, and they tasted fruity with a hint of tart over the sweetness. Not all taste test participants agreed that it warranted a revisit back to the package.

Cotton Candy

If you have a sweet tooth, you'd love these ridiculously sugary Oreos that hit the shelf back in 2015. Cotton candy Oreos consist of two golden cookies stuck together by candyfloss flavoured filling (pink & blue) which had to be to 'dolly's', that's right folks, everything a girl desires in an orb.

Dirt Cake

Drawing on the classic American kids' dessert, dirt cake – made of crumbled Oreos, gummy worms and vanilla or chocolate pudding to look like dirt – has given us a wonderful treat in cookie form. Dirt Cake Oreos arrived in February 2024. Based on Original Oreos, they fill with both a brownie-flavored creme and a chocolate creme, and they finish with tiny, colorful sprinkles in fun, gummy-worm shapes.
