Though yet to be officially confirmed, rumors across social media, which appear to have begun with a post from Snackolator on Instagram, of a new addition to the lineup of Dairy Queen Blizzards are spreading like snowflakes across a winter wonderland. The new "Snowdrift Blizzard" flavor is said to feature a light blue base of cake batter soft serve dotted with pieces of Oreo cookies and a swirl of marshmallow.
Rejoice, New Year's dieters: Oreos are getting a sugar-free option. Mondelez said Tuesday that Oreo Zero Sugar and Oreo Double Stuf Zero Sugar will go on sale in the U.S. in January. They're a permanent addition to the company's Oreo lineup. It's the first time Mondelez has sold sugar-free Oreos in the U.S. They're already sold in Europe and China, the company said.
After three secretive years of research and development, Oreo and Reese's have debuted a limited-time collaboration mashing up the two iconic treats. I tried both and found a clear winner between the two. The snack kingpins officially launched their new products on August 26: an Oreo cookie with Reese's peanut butter-flavored creme filling and miniature and king-size Reese's cups with an Oreo creme-flavored chocolate shell and cookie crumbs inside.
Oreos are a staple of any grocery store's cookie aisle. Known as "milk's favorite cookie," the brand has used strategic advertising to stay relevant in the over one hundred years since its inception in 1912. Oreo's marketing has always changed with the times, and part of the reason the brand is still relevant today is because it relies heavily on the internet and social media, a very easy and convenient way to target specific consumers.
