Hello! How’s it going? I’m just here with Mari and some mystery person holding the leash.
I usually always take Thursday off from running because I usually run Mon-Wed, but even though I ‘only’ ran Wednesday this week I took today to rest it up again. I went on a walk with SR and we spotted a few reminders from a local running group on the ground… “hips!”
Like my hips, nips and chips vlog but not really.
We also saw a guy on a unicycle. You know, it happens.
Anyway. I have gotten a ton of Facebook messages and emails and comments about the Watermelon Oreos. I just got another one from reader Katie yesterday with the picture below…
But the thing is – no one who has contacted me about them has actually tried them. So, I kinda feel like you guys are all teasing/mocking my love of the watermelon. Truthfully, I’ve seen them at Target – right by the cashier too, when you’re all weak from shopping and need a snack! They know how to get ya.
But I haven’t bought them either. I’m pretty sure they’re going to be gross. And I’m pretty sure if I bought a pack and they were still gross I’d eat them all anyway. That’s how I roll.
So, I need someone out there to confirm or deny that they are ‘worth it’.
Question: Have you tried the Watermelon Oreos? Are they good? Do you know someone who’s cousin’s brother’s dog sitter tried them? What did they think?
I agree, I think they’d be gross. Let us know if you try them though!
I tried the Watermelon Oreos last summer and really liked them. The cream tasted like Watermelon Bubblicious to me which just happens to be my favorite Bubblicious Gum!
I agree the filling tastes exactly like watermelon gum.
I have tried them and love them! They really do taste like watermelon.
Lindy West over at Jezebel made a hilarious video review of the Watermelon Oreos….

My roommate tried them…she couldn’t even finish one whole cookie. She said they were terrible and I took her word for it. Not a fan of fake fruit flavoring.
I’m embarrassingly obsessed with the different flavors of oreos. I’d probably buy grass flavored oreos if the opportunity presented itself… but my main rule of thumb is that the fruit flavored ones suck. There are some exceptions (like Berry Burst.. and Banana Split were tolerable), but pass on the fruit. Golden Birthday Cake is my favorite and I also really like the Marshmallow Crispy, Candy Corn and Peanut Butter #thisiswhyIrun
Honestly they were so gross to me! I had to try them though!
I would totally eat them all even if they were nasty too.. its how I roll too! LOL
That might be my new favorite e-card 🙂
I don’t like watermelon to begin with (blasphemy, I know) but I still want to try these. The birthday cake Oreos are possibly the best things ever made.
wow i had no idea Oreos were so diverse these days, as to include fruit flavors! i’m so out of the Oreo loop… i don’t remember the last time i even had a regular one. can’t vouch for these but looking forward to hearing your take on them if you try them! have a great wknd.
Haha I haven’t seen those! I think Id rather go for the classic!
I tried them last year and even though i was skeptical, they were actually pretty good.
They weren’t bad in my opinion. I do like the lemon ones better though!
Nope, never seen them. Guess what I bought last night? Choc creme filling Oreos. Life. Is. Good.
Yes! Haha my daugther have just finished the packet ot those filled oreos which brought to the States… Now she is ” crying” since we cannot buy more… 🙁
Haha, the marketing is great, i have to admit. Personally, if I got something (food) in my mind, I have to taste it or buy it, or just storing it in a locker room just in case.
I still regreat not buying enough almond butter ( doesnt exist here in Spain) in my last trip to the US because I thought I wouldnt like it!
But, have to be honest, I dont think any oreo could be a great adding to anyone diet! (Like a tons of Nestlé Skinny cows I bought in US, i love them,
but …)
I’ve never heard of watermelon oreo’s. That is flavor doesn’t sound yummy to me….
I have tried them and did not like them at all! 🙁 had a weird flavor to it! So I took them to work! Ha, but no one really ate them so a coworker took them home to her son 😉
I love trying the new flavors! I love the lemon, coconut, bday cake, and marshmallow ones… I have to take them to work or I will eat them all!
I had no idea they made other flavors of Oreo’s. Crazy! Too much work, not enough fun.
Haven’t tried them, but the cookie dough Oreos were gross. Even my kids wouldn’t eat them and they are the ones who wanted them.
Personally, I was not a fan of the watermelon Oreos. The lemon ones, though? Heavenly.
Never tried them but I don’t think I want to

Sounds like the general reviews are positive, despite the idea that it sounds like a funky combo. Good luck. 🙂
