That's right Oreo and churro lovers, the unimaginable is now upon us...
Oreo has announced that the "mystery flavor" that they've had on the shelves since September is churro.
Here's what has been going on...
Everyone loves churros.
I mean, if you dislike sugar and soft doughy happiness and deep-fried crunch then maybe you won't like churros.Instant happiness.
Well I mean not instant, instant... you do have to go somewhere and purchase them, but as soon as you take a bite, well... instant happiness.The secret to the perfect churro...
is definitely in the fry. So I know what you're thinking... how do they manage to translate that distinct fried dough flavor into the cream of an oreo? Well, my friends...Have faith in the almighty Oreo.

Seriously if you haven't tried these you should. Maple Creme Oreos really know what's going on.The people at Oreo love a challenge.
These guys are like the Willy Wonka of creme-filled cookies.Deciding on the mystery flavor was a tough decision.
I mean imagine being able to choose any flavor. It's no surprise Oreo went with the popular fried dessert, and we think this is the best collaboration since Dido and Eminem.All over the U.S people have been guessing the flavor.
The distinct flavor of a churro can be difficult to identify when it's missing it's giveaway fried dough texture.Oreo offered a grand prize to anyone that could guess correctly.

As part of the promotion, Oreo offered consumers $50,000 if they could guess the flavor correctly."Is it snickerdoodle flavor?"

I think we can all agree, in a blind taste test it would be hard to distinguish a snickerdoodle from a churro... let alone if neither had their regular texture. Hard luck bud, guess you're gonna have to pay off your student loan after all.People started getting impatient with Oreo.

People began to question whether Oreo even knew the flavor.
Impatient followers of the mystery flavor competition began wondering whether Oreo was just going to pick any of the popular answers at random, having no idea what they'd actually created.A lot was riding on the announcement.
