Buttered Popcorn Flavored Oreos Reportedly Coming Soon
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Buttered popcorn flavored Oreos are reportedly coming to stores soon, and the internet doesn't know how to feel about it.
A recent post from an Instagram account called the Junk Food Aisle, which shares information about new snack foods, announced the upcoming cookie flavor.
According to the post, the writer got to taste the as yet unreleased flavor and said the yellow creme inside tastes like pineapple but the cookies tastes more like "everyone's least favorite Jelly Belly (but better!)" when eaten "in its natural sandwich cookie state."
The poster suggested the limited edition flavor would be released sometime in 2019.
Although the cookies have yet to hit shelves, social media users are already sharing strong opinions about the popcorn flavored treat.
One user wrote that she is excited to try the new cookie.
