Oreo is rolling out three new Oreo flavors on a short runway, with Banana Pudding, Chicken and Waffles, and Deep Fried Cookies entering presale on August 17 before reaching shelves nationwide on August 24. The company has also tied the release to a vote, so the cookies are not just a limited-time drop; they are a test of which one deserves a longer stay.
August 17 at OREO.com
The vote runs from August 17 to October 12, and fans can cast a choice at OREO.com/twist-lick-vote. One entrant in the sweepstakes will win a year's supply of classic Oreos, which gives the promotion a separate incentive beyond the flavor decision itself.
The setup is straightforward for buyers: try the cookies once presale opens, then decide which one should keep going after the limited run. That gives the release a real commercial filter, not just a novelty shelf moment.
Chicken and Waffles at 70 Milligrams
Chicken and Waffles brings 70 milligrams of sodium per cookie, almost twice the 43 milligrams in an original Oreo. It also includes black pepper, celery spice, and paprika, which makes it the outlier in a lineup that otherwise sounds closer to dessert than dinner.
That savory profile is the friction point here. A cookie named Chicken and Waffles is already asking buyers to cross categories, and the sodium count makes that move more pronounced than the packaging suggests.
Deep Fried Cookies Joins Banana Pudding
Deep Fried Cookies is described as an Oreo pretending to be a deep-fried Oreo, while Banana Pudding keeps the lineup anchored in a more familiar sweet profile. Oreo has used limited-time and unusual flavors before, including BTS cookies and Mushroom and Hot Chicken Wings, but this release adds a vote that can extend one flavor beyond the first wave.
For readers, the practical play is simple: August 17 is the first chance to buy, August 24 is when all three flavors reach shelves nationwide, and October 12 is when the vote closes. Which of the three wins is the only question left that matters, because the flavor that comes out on top gets the clearest path to staying around longer.
