The article discusses the peculiar and often disappointing results of limited-edition snacks, focusing on Swedish Fish Oreos and Shrek Twinkies. Swedish Fish Oreos feature a classic cookie with an unpalatable cream that mimics the candy's flavor, resulting in an odd combination of chocolate and artificial cherry. In contrast, Shrek Twinkies introduced a neon green color for promotional purposes, yet maintained the original Twinkie flavor, raising questions about the success of such merchandise. The author suggests that experimentation with beloved snacks can lead to unfortunate results.
One of the worst parts of this nefarious cookie was its aroma. The iconic creamy scent of Oreos was replaced by an aggressive chocolate and artificial cherry-like smell that would make you consider tossing it directly in the trash before your first bite.
But if you were brave enough to go in for a taste, you'd find that - not to anyone's surprise - chocolate and the mystery flavor of Swedish Fish (apparently, it's lingonberry, who knew?) do not mesh well together.
Both 2004 and 2010 marked the release of the unholy abomination that was ogre-green Twinkies. The green Hostess treats acted as a promotional release for 'Shrek 2' and 'Shrek Forever After,' but we don't imagine that they helped sell any movie tickets.
Don't worry, these green Twinkies weren't wasabi-flavored. The special (we're using that term loosely) Twinkies had the same flavor as the standard variety of the beloved snack cake.
