You know, even thought I read your comment before seeing it, I wasn't expecting a full on Weird Scam in a Can't! And I thank you for not spoiling the punchline!
I'm fascinated by how differently people describe the taste. It absolutely tastes like oreo to me. I like it personally. It's like cream soda, or vanilla coke.
@@tsurugizaki yeah, oreo cream soda sounds about right, but i think i had my fill of any cream soda for a long time after it was my only soda for a while lol
Oh, what great feeling that RUclips apperantly just decided to not have all notifications on for Atomic Shrimp. Oh, what great feeling to have a bunch new content to bingewatch.
I saw some kind of *coffee cappuchino Coke* in my local Walmart "neighborhood market" I'm not even sure how they pulled that off because I tried mixing coffee and Coke in a Starbucks (the barista was fascinated by this experiment and all in) and it just fizzed up like crazy and in the end just tasted like ... Coke with coffee in.
That can opener you used takes me back to camping trips in South Wales in the late 1960s and cans of Carnation milk. Something I haven't though about for a long time.
As an underpaid cashier, one of my few pleasures is trying out all the weird and unusual collaboration and event drinks, brands come up with. Oreo Coke could have been so much less boring. it just tastes like taking a bite of an Oreo and drinking a sip of coke
I mean, that's what it's supposed to taste like. What could be more spot-on for "A Coke that tastes like Oreos" than "A Coke that tastes like you just ate an Oreo"?
@@The3Storms There was a weird Collab between a Berlin Kebab store, and a no name soda maker, producing a lemon soda and a pomegranate soda. They were both completely missing the mark, with the pomegranate soda tasting like bubblegum, and the lemon one tasting like Hibiscus Tea. The Lemon one tastes very similar to a very fancy eco-friendly lemonade called "Bionade" which my aunt always buys, so I quite liked it.
What a coincidence, I have actually tried coca cola flavored Oreo cookie recently, I believe it must be a collaboration of both brands, can't believe you tried the other end. The taste is not for everyone but it's really surprising
Its just a oreo with a weak as hell generic cola flavor, and doesn't even taste like coca cola it tastes like RC cola or some off brand cola flavor to me.
I think we are seeing so many of these sort of flavor mashups because of FOMO (fear of missing out). The taste doesn't have to be good, but marketing has certainly created this feeling of missing out if you don't try something. It doesn't help that these are heavily marketed as limited time only.
I tried it. It's not bad tasting. Wouldn't be mad about it, it's not that amazing, but it is nice enough. I'd be happy to drink it again, wouldn't be upset if I never have it again.
@@Boogie_the_cat lets be adults and understand that different parts of the world spell things differently. They are both correct spellings and historically the British also used to spell it flavor.
Honestly most Coca Cola variants are unpleasant. The only flavoured one I've really enjoyed is Orange, which is a pain to get in the UK (Used to drink tons of Mezzo Mix when I lived in Austria, which is basically the same thing).
Love that you nailed why drinking something directly from a can is very different to drinking it after it's been poured out into some vessel. The nose goes into play with the latter, whereas it's very limited when imbibing from a can. Sometimes this is a good thing, particularly with some (but not all of) the cheap mass-produced beers I like to drink from time to time. If I'm having a nice beer, it's going into a glass so I can smell it for the full experience, every time -- and even with some of the cheapo beers, going for a glass makes them better, but with others -- very not so.
You had me at Oreo and I tossed my cookies at "zero sugar" Don't get me wrong, all the carbonated beverages I drink are zero sugar, but I don't think a zero sugar Oreo (let alone Oreo cola beverage) would tickle my pundit at all.
After much searching, this was the only regulation on caffeine I could find (from the UK government website): Caffeine You must label drinks that contain more than 150 milligrams per litre of caffeine with the words ‘High caffeine content. Not recommended for children or pregnant or breast-feeding women’. This also applies to concentrated or dried drinks that will contain more than 150 milligrams per litre of caffeine when reconstituted. It does not apply to tea and coffee drinks if ‘tea’ or ‘coffee’ are in the name of the food. Where caffeine has been added to a food product (other than a drink) for a physiological purpose, you must put the words ‘Contains caffeine. Not recommended for children or pregnant women’ on the label. You must put these warnings in the same field of vision as the name of the food and include the caffeine content in milligrams per 100 grams or per 100 millilitres in brackets after the warning. Specifically, the requirement to put warnings about the caffeine content only applies over a certain amount of caffeine (which soft drink are legally required to be under anyway), and the requirement to warn about caffeine regardless of quantity (that might lead a company to claim it's only for flavour) specifically exempts drinks. I can find no reason to specifically say "caffeine flavouring" over just "caffeine" in the ingredients. While I was writing this I found something interesting: The labelling legislation (assimilated Regulation (EU) 1169/2011) requires that where caffeine is used as a flavouring, the term ‘caffeine’ must appear after the word ‘flavouring(s)’ in the list of ingredients. You might have seen on ingredients lists "flavourings (caffeine)" or similar. This is because of that regulation. So, the specific wording of the ingredients might actually be in breach of that labelling regulation.
Recently Coke discontinued vanilla Coke zero. I think that is because the Oreo is a direct replacement. The flavours taste nearly identical with just a slightly chocolatey aftertaste with the Oreo one.
I've always found coke from a glass bottle tastes the best if you can find them these days as that takes me back to being a kid, coke out of plastic bottles or cans just don't taste the same to me.
I have actually tried this recently. In my opinion it was rather sweet, but not unbearable with a mild oreo taste. For some reason i found it "dry", i know that sounds weird but i've got no other way of describing it.
My son bought a can of this and we all tried it. My first impression is that it takes like a cheap unbranded cola, almost as bad as the cheapest cola syrup I used to buy and dilute with tap water when I was a poor student and needed cheap caffeine.
Mondelez International has bought our beloved Cadbury and also owns Oreo so that is why we see a lot of Oreo/Cadbury crossovers, they must have also done a deal with Coca-Cola or maybe Mondelez owns a lot of shares in Coca-Cola company. Also it explains why cadbury doesnt taste as good as it used to as they changed the recipe to cheaper ingredients.
Just the other day an aquaintance was raving about Coca Cola Oreo and passing it around. I declined as, to me, Sugar Free Drinks taste extremely bitter and make me really thirsty. Everyone wanted me to try it, as I have the reputation of having a really good sense of taste but, having heard you opinion of it, Mr Shrimp, I'm so glad I didn't as you seem to like the same type of things that I do (with the exception of almonds which, disappointingly, I cannot enjoy). So, Thank you for your review. Also, does anyone remember Caffine Free Coke in the 1980s. We used to call it Flavour Free Coke. Someone way back in the comments mentioned Black Coke which had a coffee flavour. This sounds delicious. I wish there were more coffee flavoured sweets, coffee flavoured Areo would be fandabbydoozy! Gillywoggles signing out!
I feel the same way about Oreo. I'm barely aware I'm eating a biscuit. Much rather have a bourbon, or even the wibbly-edge chocolate sandwich biscuit that comes in the selection tins.
No idea why they went 0 sugar. I feel if they did the sugar edition, it would taste a lot more like oreos. The oreo flavor is very strong as an after taste. I drunk the bottled version.
I don’t drink coke much, but I tried this Oreo Coke just for fun the other day. I actually really enjoyed it. There’s some kind of creamy flavor (maybe sort of a vanilla flavor you described) that really brightened the flavor and then the darker cocoa flavor sort of cuts through and balances it out. It’s not like I would drink it all the time, but it’s still a fun experience when people get experimental and mix up flavors in a different way.
CO2 gets dissolved into water by turning into carbonic acid, which then in turn converts back into CO2 gas and more water. This is also why flat sodas taste so different to fresh ones. I find that carbonated beverages are always more carbonated when they're canned, so they're also more acidic. This is likely why people are always complaining that you're not tasting it from the can, since it holds onto so much more carbonation than in a big wide open glass.
I think it's just coke zero, it has a way of just sucking the flavour out of everything. It's like a homeopathic drink and the flavour is someone who kind of remembers drinking coke in their youth and has a terrible memory
I love your church key can opener, which was very nostalgic for me. I suspect young people might not have seen one these days let alone know to puncture the can twice to allow the fluid to flow out smoothly. Thank you for the meticulous and entertaining review!
I REALLY enjoyed the Coca Cola Starlight flavor, the full sugar version had a deep spice to it and an almost gingerbread-esque aftertaste. To me it was like an alternate regular coke recipe with enhanced spice and sweetness. I could imagine coca cola fresh from a fountain drink stand back in the day, and the worker threw in an extra dash of this and that to get this flavor, like tweaked ratios. They should have made that one permanent.
I literally tried this today, alongside the Coke flavoured Oreos a week or more ago. The drink tastes kinda vanilla-y, just as you stated. A friend also said creaming soda-esque. For me, as with most like drinks, the Zero Sugar/sweetener aftertaste was as always unpleasant. The oreos were odd. Both of my friends couldn't eat more than one. I ate them once I ignored the weird taste, but would definitely not go out and buy them.
When you decant a soda, you're letting more of the carbonation out. That's the primary reason the can tastes "tangier," and one of the reasons fountain drinks have more carbonation in the default mix.
Because of the nature of cross-promotional products, there are also Coca-Cola flavored Oreos. If you find a pack, see who you can share them with. It should come with off-brand Pop Rocks mixed into the frosting.
Honestly, I do enjoy weird novelties like this; if I see one in store, I often do pick it up just to try it - which, I suppose, is essentially the marketing tactic used. If I end up liking it, then good - well worth the impulse buy. If it's just _meh_ or bad, then hey, at least I tried it. No big loss.
The Oreo cola just tastes like coke. They decided to combine a strong flavour with a weak one, meaning all you actually taste is the strong one. If you swill it around your mouth a little you might catch the merest hint of Oreo, then it's completely gone. It's like trying to sniff a flower next to a tyre fire.
Vanilla makes things taste sweeter. Have you ever done the kid trick of eating ice cream then drinking regular Coke? It changes the taste. Freaked my aunt out doing that one Thanksgiving. lol. I find Vanilla Coke doesn't have much taste. Cherry Coke is my favorite variation.
I'm glad i'm not the only person who thinks that Oreo's popularity is 90% marketing, and, like many snacks from America, simply quite bland. "excited more by the concept, then the drink" is what whole commercial empires have been built uppon!
Other way around. It's probably one of the best things to come out of the U.S. I find a lot of American candy to be quite oily on the tongue & roof of my mouth compared to European. Hersheys is definitely up there for me, doesn't help that it also tastes like sick
The heavily dutched black cocoa in Oreos gives them an interesting flavor not really found in anything else. But that flavor isn’t all that outstanding.
I wouldn't go out of my way to buy oreos but every time I have one ill finish off the pack usually. Reeces cup have to be my favourite american "candy" though (even better if you get the dark chocolate ones)
when the threats of nuclear war arise, i'm buying several cans of every WSIAC to keep in my bunker. The weirdness will undoubtedly be appreciated many years into the bunker life
An American here, cookies including Oreos scream for either a cup of hot tea or a glass of milk (preferably skim). Adding sweet to sweet is rather nauseating 🤢. And I just read that Coca-Cola is getting rid of the Raspberry Coke BUT is keeping the Oreo Coke. Not a good decision I think.
I recently found the canned version of this and found that it has a much muted flavor compared to the plastic bottle version. It's weird, it still has all the same tastes, Coke on the front end, Oreo on the back end, but it's like someone just added water to it and made it less flavorful. The canned one also didn't seem to be as fizzy as the bottled version. The thing I do like about it is that the cocoa isn't overpowering, that would have truly ruined it.
I'm sick of all the Oreo branded stuff, especially all the Cadbury rubbish since they got taken over and ruined, is Oreo really that popular here? I feel it was a trend a few years ago when it started being sold here but then everyone got over it and went back to eating Biscoff, I hardly ever see anyone buying the things.
They're definitely trying to make it a big brand in the UK, has been happening for years. Not sure they're succeeding to be honest, never met anyone who cares about Oreos.
I tried this recently and to me it was very strongly oreo-flavoured! It was so weird, it really tasted like I'd taken a bite of oreo and a sip of coke at the same time. I drank it from the can at room temperature.
Our tasting notes are similar- to me it mostly tasted of slight vanilla and some mingling remnants of cocoa mixed with diluted coke. The fundamental problem is that they are two complete flavor profiles that don't need to be mixed- coca cola has it's own entire profile, as does an Oreo. Mashing them together just cancels out and mutes what makes both flavors unique. It wasn't -bad- tasting, but it was just kinda...well, I'd rather have a vanilla coke.
I was weaned on Coke. Loved it as a kid. Tried Pepsi once in almost 70 years... nope! Anyway, I always ordered Coke at fast food joints with extra crushed ice. The servers were always confused by my order. Can't imagine it without ice. Chug on.
Yeah, agreed. I hate that a lot of (new) stuff only comes in zero sugar - even if it wouldn't upset my stomach, it just has that disgusting aftertaste (it's also particularly bad with energy drinks imo)
I truly appreciate you filming this video because I have been debating trying this but I feel like Coke is just tricking me into buying more poison just because I NEED to know what this new silly version tastes like. So based on this review I will decide whether or not to try it.
I mean, interesting that you mentioned the vanilla flavour since I do like vanilla flavoured softdrinks. I already prefer the regular Vanilla Coke but don't think I will drink the Oreo so much. I want to try this, though! 👍
For me it starts with the taste and feel of vanilla coke (weirdly the sugar version and not the zero variant even though this is zero) and then when all of it is almost completely down my throat there‘s a light oreo cookie flavour as if you‘d drank the last sip of milk with cookie crumbles at the bottom.
Coke may taste different drinking straight from the can because of the metal, I think there have been some studies showing food tastes different using cutlery made from different materials and the only inert material was gold that didn’t affect taste. Possibly?
All coke cans are lined in plastic to make them inert to the acid, so I doubt there's any chemical difference. However, the thermal properties of the can will be different to the plastic bottle, and this might have an effect when drinking directly. In my experience the canned product seems cooler when the drink is at room temperature.
@@user-ut9vp9ph4m Maybe. but I still think it's the thermal properties and other physical properties of the materials that dominate, with the chemical properties being less important.
I've tried this, personally i didn't like it at all, i don't often have either but do enjoy both. To me it tasted like someone had taken stale oreo and flat coke then stuck them in a blender, sieved the bits out and re canned it haha
I often wonder why they bother adding other flavours to Coke - only cherry and vanilla work, to my way of thinking; a lot of the time, the results are usually insipid and disappointing. I don't drink the Zero Coke, at all, as I'm allergic to most artificial sweeteners, in varying degrees. Sensible review, and a lovely view of Brixham harbour.
Aah I love Brixham! I hope you had a lovely time down there! I am sure you did but I hope you went to the battery gardens as that seems like something you would find interesting! Also, completely random but you might find interesting, probably about 7 or so years ago, on the way back from holiday, me and my family stopped off in Brixham to say goodbye to the sea. It was during a storm and it was so bad, the breakwater beach had almost entirely been washed away! I hope it has recovered from that?
Hi Atomic Shrimp, If you find the Coke oreos maybe combine thim into an episode with Sainsbury's "Twists" they have release Gingerbread flavour custard creams, Blackforest flavour Bourbons and Caramel flavour Bourbons. Id like to see what you think off them. Keep up the great content 😁 👍
I had the same issue with the can not opening and I'm living on another continent. I guess maybe something went a bit wrong with the production of these cans.
I kinda liked this stuff. It's flavor kind of reminded me of Coca-Cola Black, which was a coffee flavored promotional flavor coke they had for a time that they no longer sell
I saw a can of this stuff a week ago and i had one. I tried it and its a weird flavour but i like it. It kind of reminds me of a cream soda flavour with a slight oreo aftertaste
I gave it a try and it was just okay imo. I caught a whiff of the oreo while it was fizzing in the glass. I also caught the oreo taste after the coke taste went away but then it turned into the fake sugar aftertaste and it lingered. I’m still trying to hunt down the cookies. I haven’t found them in my local grocery store. Apparently they have pop rocks to simulate the soda fizz!

They should have made that one permanent.
Pepsi Max FTW
What a beautiful spot to enjoy your soda and vacation with Mrs. Shrimp.
I literally tried this today, alongside the Coke flavoured Oreos a week or more ago.
The drink tastes kinda vanilla-y, just as you stated. A friend also said creaming soda-esque. For me, as with most like drinks, the Zero Sugar/sweetener aftertaste was as always unpleasant.
The oreos were odd. Both of my friends couldn't eat more than one. I ate them once I ignored the weird taste, but would definitely not go out and buy them.
When you decant a soda, you're letting more of the carbonation out. That's the primary reason the can tastes "tangier," and one of the reasons fountain drinks have more carbonation in the default mix.
"I don't think [Oreos are the] best chocolate sandwich biscuit that exists." Yeah, biscuit bourbons for the win!
I tried it last week and just like you said it's kinda disappointing. The "oreo" flavor doesn't suit with coke, at least for me.
With that old-time "church key" you've got to make a smaller opening opposite the one you pour from. It pours much better that way.
Because of the nature of cross-promotional products, there are also Coca-Cola flavored Oreos.
If you find a pack, see who you can share them with. It should come with off-brand Pop Rocks mixed into the frosting.
Honestly, I do enjoy weird novelties like this; if I see one in store, I often do pick it up just to try it - which, I suppose, is essentially the marketing tactic used.
If I end up liking it, then good - well worth the impulse buy. If it's just _meh_ or bad, then hey, at least I tried it. No big loss.
The Oreo cola just tastes like coke. They decided to combine a strong flavour with a weak one, meaning all you actually taste is the strong one. If you swill it around your mouth a little you might catch the merest hint of Oreo, then it's completely gone. It's like trying to sniff a flower next to a tyre fire.
I love that analogy
@@AtomicShrimp I probably use an excessive number of analogies. It's like if-- No, wait...
Vanilla makes things taste sweeter. Have you ever done the kid trick of eating ice cream then drinking regular Coke? It changes the taste. Freaked my aunt out doing that one Thanksgiving. lol. I find Vanilla Coke doesn't have much taste. Cherry Coke is my favorite variation.
Reinventing the coke float
I'm glad i'm not the only person who thinks that Oreo's popularity is 90% marketing, and, like many snacks from America, simply quite bland.
"excited more by the concept, then the drink" is what whole commercial empires have been built uppon!
Honestly, they're one of the exceptions for me. American candy is massively overhyped and horrible, but oreos are tasty to me.
Other way around. It's probably one of the best things to come out of the U.S. I find a lot of American candy to be quite oily on the tongue & roof of my mouth compared to European. Hersheys is definitely up there for me, doesn't help that it also tastes like sick
The heavily dutched black cocoa in Oreos gives them an interesting flavor not really found in anything else. But that flavor isn’t all that outstanding.
I wouldn't go out of my way to buy oreos but every time I have one ill finish off the pack usually.
Reeces cup have to be my favourite american "candy" though (even better if you get the dark chocolate ones)
I think it's a perfectly decent biscuit, just that it never really added anything that wasn't available - it's just another biscuit.
when the threats of nuclear war arise, i'm buying several cans of every WSIAC to keep in my bunker. The weirdness will undoubtedly be appreciated many years into the bunker life
I bought one of these cans recently. It tastes like Vanilla Coke with a little Oreo aftertaste.
An American here, cookies including Oreos scream for either a cup of hot tea or a glass of milk (preferably skim). Adding sweet to sweet is rather nauseating 🤢.
And I just read that Coca-Cola is getting rid of the Raspberry Coke BUT is keeping the Oreo Coke. Not a good decision I think.
"Best sandwich biscuit".... That belongs to Bourbons....
Best chocolate sandwich biscuit, absolutely. Best overall sandwich biscuit is obviously the custard cream.
I've always found Bourbons to be incredibly dull
(Custard) Cream is king.
@@A-se2ur jammy dodgers has a claim to the title too.
I feel like the empire biscuit is the true true king
But that's not a standard biscuit
I recently found the canned version of this and found that it has a much muted flavor compared to the plastic bottle version. It's weird, it still has all the same tastes, Coke on the front end, Oreo on the back end, but it's like someone just added water to it and made it less flavorful. The canned one also didn't seem to be as fizzy as the bottled version.
The thing I do like about it is that the cocoa isn't overpowering, that would have truly ruined it.
I've got a butterfly tin opener with a pointy end like that and I had no idea what it was meant for
I'm sick of all the Oreo branded stuff, especially all the Cadbury rubbish since they got taken over and ruined, is Oreo really that popular here? I feel it was a trend a few years ago when it started being sold here but then everyone got over it and went back to eating Biscoff, I hardly ever see anyone buying the things.
They're definitely trying to make it a big brand in the UK, has been happening for years. Not sure they're succeeding to be honest, never met anyone who cares about Oreos.
I tried this recently and to me it was very strongly oreo-flavoured! It was so weird, it really tasted like I'd taken a bite of oreo and a sip of coke at the same time. I drank it from the can at room temperature.
Our tasting notes are similar- to me it mostly tasted of slight vanilla and some mingling remnants of cocoa mixed with diluted coke.
The fundamental problem is that they are two complete flavor profiles that don't need to be mixed- coca cola has it's own entire profile, as does an Oreo. Mashing them together just cancels out and mutes what makes both flavors unique.
It wasn't -bad- tasting, but it was just kinda...well, I'd rather have a vanilla coke.
Prefer a Bourbon or a Custard Cream to a Oreo any day, maybe you could make your own version.
I was weaned on Coke. Loved it as a kid. Tried Pepsi once in almost 70 years... nope!
Anyway, I always ordered Coke at fast food joints with extra crushed ice. The servers were always confused by my order. Can't imagine it without ice.
Chug on.
I remember the bisquit of an Oreo being slightly salty, which would explain salt listed as an ingredient.
This would taste better if it was not sugar free TBH
It would taste better if it actually had any Oreo flavour to
It
@CricketEngland it has a little on after taste atleast in America
To me it tastes just like washing an oreo down with a coke, and I love it.
Hits that cookie need without the calories :)
Yeah, agreed. I hate that a lot of (new) stuff only comes in zero sugar - even if it wouldn't upset my stomach, it just has that disgusting aftertaste (it's also particularly bad with energy drinks imo)
In Brazil we have a similar limited edition, but in reverse: Coca-Cola flavored Oreos
I truly appreciate you filming this video because I have been debating trying this but I feel like Coke is just tricking me into buying more poison just because I NEED to know what this new silly version tastes like. So based on this review I will decide whether or not to try it.
based on your review I won't bother trying it. I am glad to have saved my pennies and stomach for something better.
I mean, interesting that you mentioned the vanilla flavour since I do like vanilla flavoured softdrinks. I already prefer the regular Vanilla Coke but don't think I will drink the Oreo so much. I want to try this, though! 👍
"Today I've got two cans for you." My mind immedeatly goes to the birds 😅
For me it starts with the taste and feel of vanilla coke (weirdly the sugar version and not the zero variant even though this is zero) and then when all of it is almost completely down my throat there‘s a light oreo cookie flavour as if you‘d drank the last sip of milk with cookie crumbles at the bottom.
Fond memories of having a ‘Coke float’ at Butlins when I was a nipper.
coca cola oreo flavor?! YUCK!
Coke may taste different drinking straight from the can because of the metal, I think there have been some studies showing food tastes different using cutlery made from different materials and the only inert material was gold that didn’t affect taste. Possibly?
All coke cans are lined in plastic to make them inert to the acid, so I doubt there's any chemical difference. However, the thermal properties of the can will be different to the plastic bottle, and this might have an effect when drinking directly. In my experience the canned product seems cooler when the drink is at room temperature.
@@martineyles yes but your mouth and tongue touches the outside of the can
@@user-ut9vp9ph4m Maybe. but I still think it's the thermal properties and other physical properties of the materials that dominate, with the chemical properties being less important.
I tried this in the US. To me, it was a bit overpowering of the Oreo flavor, and not really refreshing like a normal Coke.
I'm obsessed with this drink
I tried this the other day and loved it. Best 90p ever spent. Regreted not buying more than one can.
I've tried this, personally i didn't like it at all, i don't often have either but do enjoy both. To me it tasted like someone had taken stale oreo and flat coke then stuck them in a blender, sieved the bits out and re canned it haha
Whilst in Thailand and Malaysia, I noticed that a local company did Oreo copies at about half the price, but twice the taste.
You should use your drinks can opener to open all drinks cans, whether they have a ring pull or not; 'as is your preference' :P
I often wonder why they bother adding other flavours to Coke - only cherry and vanilla work, to my way of thinking; a lot of the time, the results are usually insipid and disappointing. I don't drink the Zero Coke, at all, as I'm allergic to most artificial sweeteners, in varying degrees.
Sensible review, and a lovely view of Brixham harbour.
A friend of mine brought me coca-cola flavored oreos from the states. Feels wrong, but tastes quite nice.
Aah I love Brixham! I hope you had a lovely time down there! I am sure you did but I hope you went to the battery gardens as that seems like something you would find interesting!
Also, completely random but you might find interesting, probably about 7 or so years ago, on the way back from holiday, me and my family stopped off in Brixham to say goodbye to the sea. It was during a storm and it was so bad, the breakwater beach had almost entirely been washed away! I hope it has recovered from that?
Hi Atomic Shrimp, If you find the Coke oreos maybe combine thim into an episode with Sainsbury's "Twists" they have release Gingerbread flavour custard creams, Blackforest flavour Bourbons and Caramel flavour Bourbons. Id like to see what you think off them.
Keep up the great content 😁 👍
It just kinda tastes like vanilla coke with a bit of bitterness on the end for the cocoa flavour. I liked it.
Coke is my favorite pop, and Oreo's are my favorite cookies (regardless of sandwiches style category) and I was severely disappointed by oreo coke
I had the same issue with the can not opening and I'm living on another continent. I guess maybe something went a bit wrong with the production of these cans.
Glad you tried this, so I didn't have to. I saw this in Dollar General, and I just kept walking.
I found one last week and gave it a try and was sadly disappointed... tasted like I ate an oreo then later washed it down with a swig of coke.
I kinda liked this stuff. It's flavor kind of reminded me of Coca-Cola Black, which was a coffee flavored promotional flavor coke they had for a time that they no longer sell
I saw a can of this stuff a week ago and i had one. I tried it and its a weird flavour but i like it. It kind of reminds me of a cream soda flavour with a slight oreo aftertaste
I gave it a try and it was just okay imo. I caught a whiff of the oreo while it was fizzing in the glass. I also caught the oreo taste after the coke taste went away but then it turned into the fake sugar aftertaste and it lingered. I’m still trying to hunt down the cookies. I haven’t found them in my local grocery store. Apparently they have pop rocks to simulate the soda fizz!
Tried this a few weeks ago, thought it sounded revolting and it didn't disappoint 😂
