In a surprising move, Coca-Cola and Oreo have announced a new collaboration to create a unique drink, but the reaction from fans has been far from positive. Coca-Cola, known for experimenting with unusual flavors, has previously introduced variants like Vanilla Coke, but their latest venture seems to be pushing boundaries even further.
This time, the iconic beverage brand is teaming up with Oreo to explore a blend of flavors that many find hard to digest. The collaboration has left fans questioning the combination, with some calling it a step too far. Critics have been vocal, labeling the mix as outrageous and unnecessary.
The announcement comes at a time when Coca-Cola is already facing backlash for its reported ties to Israel amidst ongoing conflicts in the region. The brand has denied any direct involvement, stating that it is not Israeli-owned and does not financially support the Israeli military. Despite these clarifications, the controversy led to a noticeable drop in sales back in October 2023.
Coca-Cola’s adventurous spirit doesn’t stop with the drink alone. The collaboration also includes a new product: Coca-Cola and Oreo-flavored cookies, designed to offer an experience of sipping Coke while enjoying the classic taste of Oreo.
Both the drink and cookies are set to hit stores on September 9, 2024, but whether consumers will embrace this bold new combination remains to be seen.
