Oreo with Swedish Fish creme pick might not be an obvious savour combo likeOreo and Reese ’s , but possibly that ’s because one is a Swedish - ish food and the other is American as Oreo Pie . Just kidding : they ’re both have by the Deerfield , IL - based Mondelez , and this new biscuit is pure American corporate synergism .

Thing is , sometimes corporate synergy can be delicious – theDoritos Locos Tacos at Taco Bellproves that – and sometimes it can be … not pleasant-tasting . allow ’s see how these new Oreo cookies fare .

What it tastes like

Smell is an important component in our enjoyment of food – along with whether or not the great unwashed appear at our Instagrams of it – and this Oreo fall back a ton of points straight out of the gate . The olfactory sensation was overmaster , and not in a unspoilt agency ; alternatively , it was like I accidentally spilled a bottle of cherry red Benadryl on my kitchen counter .

Taking a bite of the cookie , the Swedish Fish smack was n’t front and center . I only obtain drinking chocolate in the finish . And if I thought it smelled like cough syrup in my kitchen a moment ago , after I ate a cooky , I could n’t get the cough syrup mouthful out of my mouth . On the plus side , it remind me of that rattling Young the Giant strain " Cough Syrup . "

Oreo Swedish Fish vs. actual Swedish Fish

If you ’re saying to yourself , " This bozo is a hater who detest Swedish Fish , and therefore that ’s why he hates this cooky , " well , I ’ve got word for you , my simulated friend : I do n’t hate the fish , and to prove it I bought a bag to equate to the cookie counterparts .

The coughing syrup flavors are not present in Swedish Fish – it ’s like eating a high , fruit - season gummy bear that looks like a Pisces . It ’s a gustatory sensation and sensory experience that makes you require to rust them slow while watching a crappy superhero film . The Oreo cookie does not deliver on the Swedish - Pisces the Fishes promise , and they ’d be tiptop - pestiferous to eat at the picture show . So many stinker !

Are the Swedish Fish Oreos worth buying?

No . No , they are not . And they might be hard to track down – you’re able to only grease one’s palms them at the Kroger kinsperson of supermarket ( I found mine at a King Soopers ) . If you ’re still jonesing for an Oreo or Swedish Fish , I recommend buy a boxful ofOreo Minisand a handbag of Swedish Fish . You ’re welcome .
